Basically my favorite design are those who looks grounded or at least makes sense. Dark Souls, Demon's Souls and The Witcher are mostly where my favorite design come from. In a game with more unreal aesthetic design, like perhaps anime/japan style games, HGSS is perfectly represented my preference as well.

Since the game came out ive loved the coat and bare chest look, accent and the fact he was an 'evil' doppelganger of snake
My favourite pokemon design is probably Blastoise.
Blastoise
Mega Blastoise
It's a giant turtle with water cannons. Nuff said. It's mega evolution is even cooler.
The demons and angels from Bayonetta 1 and 2.
My top angels and demons are:
Fortitudo
Temperentia
All the angels have this holy and creepy vibe to them.
They all look weird and awesome. I also appreciate the fact that the angels don't look like humans with angelic wings and a halo on their head.
Top demons:
Gomorrah
Diomedes
All the demons are awe inspiring and scary.
Props to the designers.

Ezio's AC2 design is aesthetically perfect. They've been chasing its brilliance ever since.

This is one of my all time favorites. When I saw this on the cover of Edge, I new that Dark Souls would be mine.
Lord Panda
The Sea is Always Right
Yep simple jeans and t-shirt and deodorant checking pose really agreed with my teenage self.
C'mon man, I don't want to see semi-naked 12yr olds.
Plenty of characters I like are already listed. I'll try to pick ones that I haven't seen yet.
I really like Ozma's designs in Ys Memories of Celceta.
I like a lot of designs in Fire Emblem. In particular
Ephraim
Navarre/Nabarl
More recently, Flavia, Lon'Qu and Say'ri... but I like a lot of characters.

I really like Iorveth from The Witcher 2. Especially because elves are typically considered otherwordly and beautiful and his face is damaged so badly on the one side that he hides it behind the bandana until you earn enough approval from him for the actions you take as Geralt. He is still very attractive, you can see that, but obviously it bothered him enough to cover it. His VA also did a good job with him.

I'm an absolute sucker for Toriyama's style, especially his older stuff. Just posting this since most people are familiar with VIII.
Amano has a very unique style, as well. Terra's design is probably my favorite, though.

Few of the all time bests.
Thankfully they made Nemesis look pretty sweet in the film though it's a pile of crap.
I skimmed the first page, here's some I didn't think I saw.
It's really hard to pick them.
Angel (Persona/SMT):
Valkyrie (Persona/SMT)
Izanagi (Persona/SMT)
Wargreymon (Digimon)
Angewomon (Digi)
Beelzemon (Digi)
Too tired to think of Pokemon ones also lol.
Saber (Fate/STay)
Elf (Dragon's Crown)

Ridley is one of those characters that can look terrifying or incredibly stupid depending on small adjustments (looking at you, Other M design). But when they get it right:
I've always liked Marx's design (Kirby Super Star) because he just looks like insanity incarnate. Like if you could create a physical representation of insanity itself, it would look like this guy.
And Melia from Xenoblade. She's the princess of a bird-like people, and I think that her design nails that image while making her look sensible (as sensible as you can get in a game that takes place on the corpses of two dead gods anyways). And then that wild blue/violet color scheme comes in and looks brilliant.

Came to post Garrus (All Turians really, I love how their biology/physique was planned out).
So very happy to see Suikogetting so much love
Also I'm not quite sure how to do images on here just yet being pretty so if this turns out too big or wrong please don't ban me!
Prince of Persia (Reboot) - Not a fan of the game but the design is brilliant.

I always thought of him as a cheap Wakka knock-off.

It's sort of a Araki ripoff, though. Or was he involved in the design development?

And many more..I must say that I find a lot of the characters posted in this thread OTT in terms of overdesign with edges, straps, and belts for the sake of it but to each their own. I'm a big fan of the Vandal Hearts in game character designs. Unfortunately I'm struggling to find a decent link to post in here - http://s31.photobucket.com/user/abaxa/media/Vandal%20Hearts/vandal-hearts7.jpg.html#/user/abaxa/media/Vandal%20Hearts/vandal-hearts7.jpg.html?&_suid=141881549820805941748674407015

SS has great character design and art direction
Kazuma Kaneko's art is the best in SMT games
Hell yeah! I love Relius Clover, my fav character from BlazBlue.
Shovel Knight has awesome character designs too! Propeller Knight is my favorite.
And Mr Hat is my favorite wandering traveler. So stylish!
