I knew it the first second I saw him the first time.

All this time and I didn't realize where Shadow's eyes were (FF6)

Pretty sure it was discussed here, but Q Bee is pretty creepy with her "hair" eyes.

Never had any of the issues mentioned in the thread, however I did have one from FF6 as well.
For whatever reason, my brain registered Emperor Gestahl as a dog-man for the longest time. I saw a snout and big floppy doggy ears. It wasn't a huge stretch to me, since previous FF games had furry peeps before. It wasn't until I saw artwork of him much later that I was able to un-see my initial take.

I thought Gestahl's sprite was pretty weird in general

This is amazing, I need to keep a tab on this for my next avatar.Seeing this thread reminded me of this of all things.
Behold...Captain Vidya.
And yes...this was a thing.

on the left is a guy with a mohawk, big ears and his mouth is agape. maybe a booger.
on the right is an obvious Julius Caesar in cartoon fashion....
but I'm told it's really a zora and a dragon??
Wait, what is this supposed to look like then. I've always seen it exactly as you describe here. At least the one on the left. The right looks like a dragon.

why not?
I fucking hate Naruto
The Whiskers always bothered me.
I don't blame you. Them 16-bit graphics confused a lot of people back in the day.
I believed this, too, until of late

Reminds me of Q-bee from Darkstalkers. Her human looking eyes are non-functional as her real eyes are the giant insect eyes on her head.
Dark Souls basilisk. Those two huge orange things aren't its eyes. Look below, right above the mouth.
Did all of you think shadow was a Cyclops? If his head piece looked like goggles, there's only one eye piece, so monoggle?
Well I guess it could be a large piece for both, but still makes no sense. I can understand some others in here, except that zora and dragon one. How in the name of zeus' butt hole is that Julius Caesar...

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.
i always sort of thought he looked like a brown bear in a black suit i obviously knew he wasnt but it made it fun for me.

The problem with the Shadow sprite is that I knew from the beginning what was supposed to be going on there, but it was still hard not to see the brown circle as being where his eyes went.
I refuse on principle to see him as anything else.
This is only halfway there. You also have to see the two purple stripes from his jacket as ultra-skinny knock-knee legs.

This reminds me of my mis-interpretation of Quote from Cave Story:
Played the whole (original) game thinking Quote was seen in profile, with only one eye visible and I suppose one side of the headphones forming a nose. Turns out there are two eyes and with his face towards the viewer.
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.
Haha Holy crap! That needs to become a thing.
That Agahnim sprite is just terrible. I've always seen it wrong, I kinda prefer it to the midget wizard.
Always thought that was his hair.
It's not?
Beanie. Yeah, I know.

Ryu doing a dragon punch in the lighting.
oh god
You sure he's not just wearing a head band?
Nope it a hat.

Never even played FF6 enough to get to the point where I see this guy and I always assumed the part under the brown was his eyes... maybe I'm just odd.
The lines and dots in Lucca's face are not her eyes and a mouth, but her eyeglasses seen from profile.
Oh my god haha
Both. Yeah I know.
Is this supposed to prove its a hat? Looks like it gives even more evidence that its a head band...

I still cant see what this is supposed to be
big nose, hair coming out of his ears, goofy smile
It pointing to his hair.

Mindblown.
I never realized that but I knew about Shadow lol
Wow same with Aagahnim - I always saw how its supposed to be lol
Maybe its my phone, but that looks like just darker shade of his hair/hat color.

I used to think Grahf had a really long face with a stupid talking smiling thingy.

I've usually been pretty good about seeing sprites as intended, but this one for me as well. It blew my mind when I discovered Gestahl wasn't some weird dog-man.
I think its the big block of black pixels that does it. My mind thinks of a dog nose with that.
That's exactly what I'm seeing on my PC.
If that is a beanie, Gamefreak should probably do some research on hats, and I've never seen one like that.

Mind blown. FF6 is one of my favorite games, and I had never seen it correctly.
I think someone told me, or I read, that Shadow was Black and that must be why I always saw it that way.

He totally does. Reminds me of Goofy for some reason.

He kinda still looks like a frog man, or at least a creature man. Remember, this is also a world where a wolf-headed thief named Lone Wolf exists, as well as Umaro. It's quite plausible that other strange humanoid "creatures" live in FFVI's world.
Though Gestahl, I knew he was an old man.

I think to this day, I never understood what I was looking at. Some sort of weird mask, but it's so... bizarre and counter intuitive.I used to think Grahf had a really long face with a stupid talking smiling thingy.
I see jabba the hut in that art work.
