Although the Guardians themselves are pretty uninspiring, I reckon the enemies in Destiny are pretty awesome.

Distinct and interesting, every one.

This might be cheating, but I'm a huge fan of cadet Ramza from chapter 1 and then Ramza in chapter 2, and then finally his costume after chapter 3. I think the costume change reflects a lot of Ramza's growth.

Rhyme from TWEWY. The simplest Nomura design? I hate how she wasn't playable. I can't choose one, so I went with the first thing that popped into my mind that wasn't already posted to avoid repetition.

Other notes:
  • Sonic characters are probably the most underrated. Rule 34 doesn't make a design bad.
  • SF2 characters are probably the most overrated. Iconic doesn't always mean good.
  • Shout out to Zelda for their great fictional races design, especially the Zoras they finally nailed in BotW.

A personal favorite are the original Crystal Chronicles designs, especially the human male's main variety.

I wish a mainline FF would go back to this elaborate, whimsical fantasy theme.
 
Zarya from Overwatch

Sad that theres not many of these badass kind of designs. Fortunately I think soon enough there will be more Zaryas rathen than 2Bs the way gaming industry has progressed.

A few personal favourites:


The Drifter - Hyper Light Drifter


Guillo - Baten Kaitos Origins


Skull Kid - The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask


K - Virtue's Last Reward

I... huh. There's a very obvious trend here that I didn't even realize I liked until I saw all of these next to each other. I'm also generally a fan of bird-like heads/faces, so I like the Yukes from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and characters with plague masks, like Eileen the Crow or Plague Knight, as well as very clean-looking mechanical things with lots of moving parts (think Atlas and P-Body from Portal 2, or Sam Gideon from Vanquish).
