Seeing this thread reminded me of this of all things.

Videogame facts that blow your mind (ALinkToThePast. SHOCKING SECRET INSIDE p #1) ( 1 2 3 4 5 ... Last )
After almost 20 years, and having beaten every Pokemon game, I can say that my mind is well and truly shattered by this.
I always saw an angry face with the nose, to the extent that I had to really force myself just there to see anything else. Amazing.

Dark Souls basilisk. Those two huge orange things aren't its eyes. Look below, right above the mouth.
Holy crap!

It looks like a giraffe doing an alligator doggy style. (Alligator is twisting to get away)

I thought his face with covered in a mask with him looking out of the things that look like goggles.
I find out his eyes are below that and mouth/chin are below that hidden by the mask. I somehow couldn't tell when playing it on the SNES.
were you playing on RF?
This one got me, I've always seen it as an angry Metapod (and will continue to do so, I can't get used to the correct way).

Lies. I played this game. It was Resident Evil Sex: Giraffes Gone Wild
I am always amused by this as I never had a problem with the sprites in question (shadow or agahim) hahaha but I can see why some people think that way
oh 1 more example of misleading faces. The dark shine knight from Seiken Densetsu 3
you can see a menacing blue eyed knight or a happy old knight with a blue mustache
lol fuck
i dont know if i would have seen that old man face unless it was pointed out to me, but now i can't unsee it
You mean the red bit isn't his mouth?
I call bullshit. Why would you have a flesh tone and a red patch if it isn't a face?
A quick google search showed how he was supposed to look

And that looks like a completely different character!

Yeah FFVI is so easy that the limit breaks hardly ever get a chance to happen.
Yeah seriously it's a very rare occasion when your guys are kneeling in that hurt position.

I think Shadow is Relm's brother or something.
Shadow was easy for me, the one my dumb child brain took forever to process was Owzer.
Yup, ditto. I couldn't really figure out what this was supposed to be. Pixel graphics + blurry TV's of the era made from some creative perception.
I still remember the first time I looked really close to the TV screen and realized the FF6 sprites had their eyes fully open. I always though they were more like Gary Larson's cow drawings.
If you hide the "nose" it becomes obvious.

Regardless of whether or not you saw/see Aghanim correctly, the sprite is kind of a fucking mess. They tried to cram way too much detail into that front-facing sprite.
So some of you guys were seeing a wizard version of Porky?
How ? I want to see that porky wizard
in the same vein Ruto's real eyes are on the side of her head
Why real eyes? Is she blind from the front eyes?

WHAT.
Possibly the only way marine life was able to avoid total extinction at the hands of human overfishing.
Looks like an old man with closed eyes wearing some sort of headband?
It's more apparent in the sprite. The mouth is not white but red.

Well, this is my legitimately mindblowing sprite reveal of the day.

Okay, this one too.

Let's be honest, the sprite work on Shadow was bad. The guy looks like a scuba diver. It was remarkably stupid to design his bandana to look like goggles and then give him nearly impossible-to-see eyes below.
FFVI is one of, if not my all time favorite game. And I always thought of Shadow as a weird guy with a cool dog dressed as a scuba diver.

I only actually saw the eyeball and jawline in this within the past couple of years and it ruined it forever.
I doubt this is what you actually meant by your post, but this is how I envisioned it:
It makes the image ridiculous, because now I can picture myself mowing down scared zombies.

I always saw Mara as a squid wailing in pain in a chariot? Apparently I've been seeing it wrong. What did other people see it as?
I thought the same thing with Shadow, that he had goggles on or something.
As far as Agahnim, turns out I saw the sprite "properly" except I saw the black spot under the eyes as his mouth.. But I remember when I was a kid saying "man this guy doesn't look anything like the one in the instruction book!"
Also @ FF6 Owzer
Check his artwork. He basically is a messy blob of a person, so that sprite is spot on.

You guys weren't RGB modding your SNES and buying professional CRTs in your offtime from elementary school?
Losers.
Lol this guy gets it. You're all a bunch of failures.
