This actually really bugged me.
"Captain, our main character isn't popular enough!"
-"Than make her sexier dangit!"-
"No good captain, people still don't like her."
-"Damn the torpedo's! We're going full midriff! I repeat, full midriff!!"

This for me, that updated him but without losing what made him Mega Man. I could easily see a modem game based around this imagine and it wouldn't look out of place.This is perfect.

I love these character design threads, even if we end up shitting on each other, it's usually great discussion.

It almost looks as if his sword is protecting us. lol

Yeah, imagine the shock on my face to see older FE game covers and realize that the further back the girlier he got. Almost looked like Sailor Mercury's twin sister or something.
Smash Bros was the first step to manning him up design wise (although Melee design I really thought he was a girl.) Awakening design is perfection.
Lol that's like the epitome of bad taste. While naive and simple, the designs in KH were somewhat original. Then the 13 year old deviantart user "DarkAngelTe4rs94" redesigned everyone.

Chris Redfield circa RE5
From a scrawny, boring dweeb, to a strapping muscle god/gay sex symbol. Most iconic redesign ever.

I am having serious issues with the content of this post. What part of the edgy darkening of Sora did you think was 'great'?
He's taller. The best way to improve a character is to make that character taller. Anyone telling you anything to the contrary is wrong and clearly has terrible taste in character redesigns.
Just look at Mario; make him a few inches taller and paint him green and you have a much better character!
This.
Xenosaga 1 looked cool enough but Xenosaga 2 was absolutely god awful. Kos-Mos looked like some kind of mandroid, unbelievably bad.
Xenosaga 3 knocked it out of the park in every single way imo. Characters looked perfect, great mix of the more realistic proportions of 2 mixed with the style of 1.
No, Volnutt is a redesign of the original Mega Man.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I disagree. XS1 looked like everyone was some creepy anime doll. XS2 was more tolerable. If you think XS2 KOS-MOS was a creepy android, then she was more upsetting in XS1.
If you mean being molested/raped by everything that breathes yes.Chris Redfield circa RE5

Edit: Solid Snake and Big Boss are not the same character!

Bayonetta 2
Ninja Theory's Dante
Mirrors Edge 2's Faith

Mirrors Edge 2's Faith
DmC Dante & Jak 2's Jak. Come at me!
Sure Dante's original incarnation was nice, but when Neo Dante's, I thought, "This is what he should have ALWAYS looked like".hair turned white
Jak's sequel was great because Jak went from mute island villiger-type, to cool. And just check that goatee, one of the few cartoony characters that can pull it off.
Dante no
ANd that isnt even the best jak
Shout outs to bayonetta, while I still have issues with her new outfit, that looks several levels better than the old one.

oh nvm this wins by far
Yes! This! So much charm with every character and every single one of them is unique. It still cracks me up hearing "I broke your stupid crap, moron!" or "Mfffmff hmpmhpmy" every time even after so many hours
oh nvm this wins by far
To be fair....these technically aren't redesigns...they are seperate characters.
For example, the engineer in tfc is tf2's Engineers father

That's just puberty.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Does this count?
Even though I still like the original rendition with the skinny limbs and rugged look, I have to say; this was one heck of a redesign!! Definitely one of the most memorable.

don't worry, half the examples in the thread aren't redesigns.
a lot of these are just the same character wearing different clothes or just another artists interpretation of the character
dave is ok
aztek is ok

From this:
To this:
The final designs do great justice to Raita's original concept.
Misha was a 4LS original but fits perfectly with the rest of the cast.
Did You Know: Raita was the character designer for Valkyria Chronicles? He's also notable for some awesome hentai.

Too bad she never got her own route.

This one pains me perhaps the most. When i first saw the previews for Advent Children and saw how pale, effeminate, and emaciated Cloud and Sephiroth looked, I nearly shat. It single handedly made me not care if we ever got a FFVII remake. It's a shame too because if you look at Kingdom Hearts or Dissidea, the models are great.
