I hated nearly all the character designs in Chrono Cross but some I hated more than others.

Even if that was the final design of the character there are plenty of worse characters on the first page alone.

Forget Quiet! What is this??? How and why was this approved? Do I have to play the game to find out???

I just read through the whole thread and
This is the worst of the bunch.
They actually made it so that you can see the veins in her tits. That alone makes it the worst. Not even Quiet went that far.

Yep.Nooj from FFX-2.
Here you go. What do I win?

Holy shit, how have I never noticed this? I guess it doesn't show as clearly in-game, thankfully. That is beyond fucked up.

Besides whatever the hell is going on here I really dislike the FFIX characters/ character designs. Actually discourages me from wanting to play the game.

I thought she was fine but why the fuck didn't she ever craft a leather or fur coat given that she's always seen freezing in cutscenes and she kills and skins plenty of wild animals.
Oh yeah. Boobs.
When it doesn't show clearly is when it's fucked up, though? The render looks like hip boots in FF9's overblown accessory vein (see Zidane cuffs, Vivi/Freya hats, etc) over cutesy pink pants, it's ingame where the 240p lack of detail obscures the lack of detail which makes it clean.
Ironically, a fly would have made this more obvious in render but looked really really bad ingame.

Best first answer in a while. Fuck this game, this shit is unacceptable and I'm not even saying this because of the character design. Everything is downgraded and dumbed down.

I actually quite like that you can see the veins on her breasts and thighs. It's a really interesting little detail you don't really see in game models. I don't see what's wrong with it.
Her outfit isn't that great though. It's lacking a little more detail IMO.
There's nothing wrong about DmC Dante that wasn't wrong with OG Dante. One's just Japan's idea of tryhard edgy while the other is the same thing but American.
It's a really weird thing to focus on, especially when the rest of her model doesn't have any realistic materials or shaders.
She looks like a cartoon character who has veiny tits for some reason.

The character designs in the Xenoblade series keep getting worse.
I've actually never played the series itself, but based on trailers alone, this looks better than the doughy hell that Xenoblade X designs were.

Not ever, I said right there in my post I'm just calling from the last year of stuff. It's all relative I suppose but in a game where Soldier 76 is designed to come off as generic as possible, Tracer somehow managed to have barely a notable characteristic, and yet she's somehow plastered all over the damn place.

It's good prepubescent edgelord trash. Well, that Sephiroth illustration is not really appealing. This is better:
I don't know what that last one is.
Triss from The Witcher 1 and 3 (DLC costume).
Not allowing her to keep even the slightest scar is also questionable when the devs were OK with having a male protagonist with a chest that looks like he crawled out of a blender.
Only mildly cringeworthy and tacky on their own. Pretty close to offensive in context of a character whose history of trauma-related insecurities was erased because the developers felt that they had a boob quota to fill.

Special shout-out to Ciri's "winter clothes."
She breathes through the boob window.
They also have molars which they literally cannot use to grind anything. Fucking teeth, how do they work?!These guys with the eyes in their mouths.

This isn't even what he looks like int the final product, though.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
The character designs in all 3D MK games pre-MK9 has always been horrendous. Something about the way the characters look and animated was never right.
The part I don't get about the Pinky design is why they gave it such huge claws, they look like its primary weapons when the monster is all about that all-mouth-all-the-time lifestyle. They should have given it t-rex arms to emphasize what you're actually supposed to be looking out for.

Profile shots of the OG Pinky are among my favorite dumb things in video games.
(man, that demon had a great ass)
Man I don't think you guys are diving deep enough. I don't know where to find better pics but Omikron has to trump most anything posted in this thread with half its characters.
None of these are bad designs, they're just victims of the tech of the time.

I think they're all great except Cyberdemon.
The dumb face and moose horns are just stupid.
...
I have played multiple games with this design in them.
How did I not notice this?
No, like, I didn't even notice the breast motif...

Because in context it's not really that badly designed or out of place.
It's really only in a vacuum that this design becomes humorous.

He is fine (and Dagger too), but rest of the cast - yikes..
What?! Vivi is one of the most iconic designs in the FF universe.
God Xenoblade 1 is in my top 10 games of all time and I loved most of the character designs. What the fuck happened????

I genuinely think Freya is in my top 10 designs.
They got better?
I am sorry, but you are objectively wrong. You can have your ass-less chaps.
Alternate costumes and mismatched armor sets. Even then I find them more cohesive and the human designs themselves more appealing. This new anime sword-girl look is hot garbage and the only appealing aspects of it are generic as hell.
Ok mate
