Am I the only one who is annoyed by that strand of hair that hangs down between the main character's eyes?
While Im not very fond of characters, there's no denying that this is one big RPG to look out for. I didn't fall in love with Blue Dragon's style and gameplay too much, but this looks like a much sweeter deal for me. Besides, being directed by Legend of Dragoon's dir and with art from the dude behind Shadow Hearts' art can never be a bad thing. Of course, Uematsu's involvement is special too 
Definitely my most wanted 360 game right now. Picking it up for sure this Feb.

What the heck?
I just think her shoes are badly designed, not much else to say about that. Big blooming pants and sandals? Lost sense of fashion IMO. Probably spends all day every day in a library or a laboratory with all the other anti-socialites.
I don't see the big deal here. Every time I see a bad outfit it takes me out of the game. It's going to be distracting as hell seeing some horrific train wreck of an outfit while trying to play.

Man I really hope this game turns out well. I was really following this like crazy at the beginning of 07, but things started to slowly bring my hype down between each showing. I'm a huge fan of Kaim and Seth and the general theme they have going, but when I really wasn't feeling the whole golden armor guy at all. Those scores are pretty good though, so hopefully this will be something to really look forward to.

If you can win an oscar for costume design in a movie why should it be any different for videogames?
lyre said:I don't really see the appeal of the game, even less the character designs. Only the guys are in armour, the females are scantily clad, and it looks like Gooch remade FF6 in 3d. Am I missing something?
What? Let's see. Most of the females are in those outfits because they're mages. Ever seen a heavily armored mage? Neither have I. Also Seth has about as much armor on as Kaim(not much at all). I guess this probably has something to do with the fact that they're both um...Immortal so I doubt getting stabbed in the stomach is going to make them think twice about passing on the plate mail.
Remade FF6 in 3D? Yeah you're missing something alright.

Yes.
harSon said:
Uh... of course fashion matters in video games. What is it exactly that you think character designers do?
I don't have a huge issue with the sandals, but oh my god, the racing flame kneepads have got to go. How atrocious.

Indeed they look incredibly out of place. Also Ming's little skirt/belt combination is kind of silly looking. I'm surprised it doesn't fall down and trip her while she's walking around.
Also I find it rather confusing that while Seth's sword hand is unarmored, Kaim and Tolten's are both armored. Personally I'd prefer to keep my sword hand unarmored for more freedom of movement, while relying on the arm with more protection for deflecting blows and such.
ethelred said:
You're trying to tell me that you would knock a game or better yet dislike a game for something as negligible as a bad pair of sandals? I can understand disliking a character design but not to the point where it effects a games overall fun factor. Maybe I'm just overreacting... just seems so insignificant to me.

I was sold on the character designs since the very first trailer(yep, I'm even impressed by the silly helmet guys). However there are still instances where I'd knock it.
Oh and it's definitely an improvement over Nomura. I guess maybe that's due to the fact that he's been doing the same thing for the past several years.
harSon said:
No. I'm not sure where I said that at all, actually. If you're trying to paraphrase me, I think you're doing a poor job! You expressed... oh, I don't know, hysterical frustration that someone would care about fashion in a game. All I did was reply that, well, of course it's an element that's worth noting. That's the character designer's job, to come up with the fashion and clothing in addition to their basic appearance. It's not what I consider the most important factor in a game's quality (I consider the overall art direction more important to me, personally), though.
Kuroyume said:
There's only one person in this four page thread that mentioned Nomura before you did. Though frankly, the fiery kneepads are even worse than most of Nomura's stuff. A few additional belts would be preferable.
Error said:
I agree. Overall, I absolutely love most of the character design. There are some glaringly bad aspects, though -- nothing wrong with people saying that.

Heh.

character designs are certainly interesting, specifically, the samurai guy with the staff...the bad guy I dont like though, not a very good design

And I stand by that, Inoue drawigns of the characters are kickass, but I find the actual 3d models horrible, on par with FFX (worst Nomura work IMO), and definitely inferior to Yoshida's FFXII (except for Basch costume :lol )

Well it's a matter of taste. It's not like they're shit, but to me they don't look good. YMMV.WrikaWrek said:

No, it's a matter of blindness (or lack thereof.) If you think the 3D models are "on par with FFX" you need to get your eyes checked.

I'm obviously not talking about them graphically-wise, and I'm not saying their style is similar either. What I'm saying is that they score equally on my personal cool-o-meter gauge (low), which is below other Nomura work.charlequin said:
Of course we're talking on a level.. in an absolute scale of things, they're of course not bad. But being this the heavy weight it is, they don't look good enough to me.
