Star Ocean 5 screens (Now in "HD"!)

In my opinion its the guy's face that looks scrunched the fuck together. I like the girl's face quite a bit.
Looks hype as hell. Yes, the character design is questionable, but frankly as a lifelong dedicated save-the-world console JRPG fan I'm not ashamed to admit I've lowered my standards considerably in the past decade. I've had to; there isn't much that calls out to me.
Star Ocean 5 is calling out to me. Maybe it wouldn't have in 2001 (well, in 2001 I'd be asking how they managed to make Spirits Within into a game, but you know what I mean) but in 2015? Yes please, I'll take three.
Also, dat effing skybox. Look at those clouds. Look at them.

Its Star Ocean. What did you expect? Haha.
Its always been a bit b-tier. Still very enjoyable none the less.
The main girl of a Star Ocean game has a hilariously derpy face?
I'm noticing a trend here...
Yeah kinda, they're more anime/cartoon stylized than the other stuff like the stone floor.
Big Hero 6? Hiro is that you?

I think you may need some refreshing the quality of SO3's character designs.
Cliff, Nel and Label were all had good personalities anyway so was a major step up from 4.
The difference between the man's and girl's face is jarring. It's like they went full-blown anime and moe for the girl. I don't really like her design either.
As for the winged cat wizard girl thingy, we need a good look at her face too. I really can't say if I find her design original or if it is a mix of too many things which comes out as a mess in the end.
And, well, we still don't know what their personality (and VA) will be like. That's the most important thing.

Yep, unfortunately it is the exception. The rest is unbearable.

People are quick to knock the visual fidelity, but if this is an example of SE going for a "modest budget, modest returns" type game rather than something big budget, then I'm all for it. Mid-tier budget games are direly needed on all platforms right now.

As long as it's not a Drakengard 3 type of low budget technical disaster.

That FLAT face :\
They need to fix at ASAP.
Beside that... the game looks good to me.

I'm kinda surprised that got released with such a low average framerate that dips even further. I still enjoyed the game but damn was it rough.
They have different head shapes clearly. I doubt the MC's face always looks like that (it looks like his eyes are squinting) And I think it's just the distance (and angle) in each picture that makes it seem off. They'd probably look better up close. Regardless, I like the designs.
(They look pretty normal in that picture IMO)

I'm ok with the girls design. She's an elf, I think it's fine she has a differenct facial structure. It does make her look a bit derpy but oh well.
Burn the witch though. Hope there's some secondary outfit for her.

It's Star Ocean, alright? Not sure what people expect from character design.

She's wearing a damned checkerboard.

she still looks pretty derpy here. could be part of her character though so will withhold more judgement until we get more info lol

huh
Maybe I was just traumatised by SO4 and the effect is lingering.

Checkerboard pattern is nice but she should be wearing some additional clothes and not a skirt that basically amounts to a belt.

I'm not sure that word means what you think it means, as awful as the faces are.
Her outfit is strangely alluring. Also at least her face looks fine in that shot and another shot from the scans.

Maybe he lives in an alternate reality where anime people are real?
Because the original character artist also helped on the MC and other characters model. But for Miki, it's test model by the programmers. So I think we can expect some changes for Miki

Actually it was looking pretty uncanny right there with the moe kawaii face and photorealistic environment and lighting.

What's wrong with your faaaaaaaace?
I don't get it. No one else notices the guys compressed as hell face?
The dudes face is really scrunched and the girls face is way far apart. I like them both. We can have some odd looking main characters, can't we?
It beats the whole same face syndrome you get in a lot of anime at least.
Edit: Mage needs a skirt with that belt, though.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
SO3 is years ago, with that said Sophia is terribly designed.

Never been a fan of Star Ocean character designs but overall it looks quite nice. I really liked Star Ocean 3 except for the big story twist and ending.
