Auron is pretty much the perfect example of a non pretty FF character. Doesn't hurt that he's also a badass as well.
Nomura's haters:
"EFFEMINATE!!"

"OMG MASTERPIECE"

If we talk about "effeminate"-looking characters, Amano is surely in the top spots.
It's all about the FFXIV artwork. Now THIS... is Final Fantasy character design at its finest!
These?

Could be worse. But I already want to punch Noctis. The fuck is he wearing?
YES. In setting and style anyway
So what is this? A FFXV hate thread or a Nomura hate thread? Both?

did they changed his original outfit completely or is this just another one he'll wear in the game? I liked the old one.
probably the hair and clothes, I would love to see more of Amano's styles of hairdos and tec. They look so otherworldly, less try-hard.
I like Dissidia's look and artwork, but it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing any new entries in that series anytime soon.
Get those dead fish eye characters out of my FF.
Don't make fun of Squall yo
he be stylin all over you
he da bes FF male protag
In the end is not that the are effeminate, because there nothing wrong with it, but that they share about the same bone structure. The all look the similar no matter how many tattoos, scars, or facial hair you throw on them. It all looks like it was pasted on to of an actor. nevertheless, it wold be cool if they used prosthetic too. No everyone has to have the same nose and chin.
When they're translated to 3D they look like this

Way to cherry pick your examples OP.
Look at me guys, I can cherry pick too!

I'd like to see Squeenix branch out, maybe something more in the visual style of Yakuza - semi-realistic, gritty, etc. Lose the j-pop in space look, its been done enough.
That seems to be an issue with a large number of Japanese manga and game artists. They draw the same basic male and female faces (maybe with child, young adult, and old adult variants) for everyone and use hair/clothing to differentiate between characters.
All of these FF characters look similar because they are all drawn by Nomura. Might as well complain about the sameness in every Dragon Quest character.
surprised to see a lot of dismay towards Amano
dude is a top notch artist & his works is very distinct and filled with personality & flavor
There's no actual dismay against Amano, just pointing out that complaining about Nomura's effeminate designs while praising Amano is ridiculous. I bet most people here like Amano's designs, including me.
