Cheers. Cube is a really cool character too, definitely! Really want to go back to that game.
Estelle - Trails In The Sky
Yaaasss queen!... Uh, I mean, I too like Estelle's design.
There are a bunch of great mentions in this thread... and some not so great mentions, but I've always had a soft spot for Edea from Bravely Default:
Hah, this is gonna be a pretty long post. Well, in no particular order, here's my list:
From Persona 5, Ann and Makoto's winter uniforms, as well as Panther, Queen, and Oracle:
Aloy, or more specifically Aloy in her Nora Brave outfit, from Horizon Zero Dawn: (she's got a whole bunch of other cool designs too, though, such as the Shadow Carja outfit)
Quiet, in her XOF uniform, from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain:
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, from the Mass Effect trilogy:
Chun-Li's default outfit is alright, but this design is simply breathtaking:
I never even got past halfway through Bloodborne, but I love Lady Maria and The Doll's designs:
A whole bunch of skins from Overwatch, but among these, my favorite is definitely still Ana's Shrike:
From the Tales of (Abyss, Xillia, and Zestiria, respectively) series, Tear Grants, Milla Maxwell, and Alisha Diphda:
Okatsu from Nioh:
2B and A2 (short hair > long hair) from NieR: Automata:
And lastly, Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, and Syanna, from The Witcher 3: (although, I do prefer Triss' outfit from The Witcher 2... but this one's cool too)
Oh, and Claire Redfield from the Resident Evil series, before they ruined her look in Revelations:

There is a very obvious issue with this design, but I still love it despite the ridiculous mini skirt. I know she has shorts underneath but still..... it would be perfect if she was wearing proper shorts, or trousers. I absolutely love everything else, especially the musketeer like boots/shoes.

I don't usually like to question posts in these sorts of threads but this...I don't even know what I'm looking at in terms of her clothes. What are those knee guards? Are those...bits of bellbottoms below her leg guards? Is that half a corset underneath her jacket...thing?

lol, I know, its one of the ones I shouldn't like but I do. A mystery!
The blue bellbottom part, is the top of her boots. This is her in game
I have no excuse lol.
A few of my favourites have been posted already (Yennefer, Triss, Cate Archer, etc), so I'll skip them. Here are a few others -
Anna Henrietta, Duchess of Toussaint (The Witcher 3 - Blood & Wine)
Inquisitor Ellana Lavellan (Dragon Age Inquisition)
Cassandra Pentaghast (Dragon Age Inquisition)
Elaena Glenmore (Game of Thrones)
Gwyn Whitehill (Game of Thrones)
Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)

Shanoa from Castlevania Order of Ecclesia.
Is there a difference in her design between HoD and OoE?

Yes to these.
As well as,
Ayesha from Atelier Ayesha
Ibaraki Douji from Fate/Grand Order
Actually posting these on mobile is tiresome so add in A2 from Nier Automata, Fang from FFXIII, P5 Makoto.
No, chronologically she's the first Impa (that we know of) while BOTW Impa is the last one.
You get some palette swaps. I kind of like the red and the white ones.
Aside from the obvious ones - Samus, Faith, Aloy.
Lyn from Fire Emblem. I know her dress is pretty leggy, but it never felt pandering imo, and even made a degree of sense given how ridiculously acrobatic her combat style is. It also does a good job of setting her apart from the rest of cast and their more medieval designs, which is fitting given her nomadic origin.
They totally ruined it in Fire Emblem Awakening and Heroes though.

I enjoy a bit more diversity in female designs, so I really appreciate when we get women of colors:

More recently, I really enjoy the design of Celica in Fire Emblem: Echoes
Li Xiangfei (Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and KoF99/01) is a long time favorite of mine and I would wish SNK would put her into newer games again. She might not look that special in artwork, but her animation and movement was so full of energy and fun.
Also, Mila (Dead or Alive 5) was the only new female character in DoA5 whom I truly enjoyed both as a character and in gameplay. For me, she was the right combination of cool, strong, sexy (the latter is, of course, a trope in Dead or Alive 5, but Mila is one of the few where I felt it didn't appear forced or overdone). The others female newcomers were OKish (Ninja Gaiden characters) to outright annoying.
Shout out to fellow Jet Set Radio fans, they had some rad character designs. And I am also enjoying Aloy in Horizon a lot more than I thought I would.

8 pages and not a single mention from anyone:
Seriously, how does Rinoa get mentioned first? How?
Well, one of them is a fetishistic bar wench design in a series that's come under fire recently with FFXV's disappointing representation.
The other is a knock off of Rinoa's wardrobe. I think Tifa wears it better with her more aggressive style but Rinoa did it first.
In before Wazzy turns me into a human totem pole.
Speaking of Edea, i love the Witches design in Final Fantasy VIII, especially Edea and Adele:
My favourite character in that game, and she's a beast in battle as well

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Miang, Xenogears. Holy shit

Daisy from Mario is a pretty good simplistic design as well.
I've always had a soft spot for Edea from Bravely Default:
I never really noticed this until seeing that massive pic but she kind of reminds me of Ozma from Tactics Ogre.
Ozma even has an attack where she throws verbal abuse at people. Very much like "Mgrggrgrgr!"
Speaking of Tactics Ogre though... There are a lot of characters and designs that I really like. Even the base class ones are pretty great.
And one more of Ravness with Agrias from FFT.
I wouldn't have put it that way lol, but I don't find Tifa's design particularly memorable, apart from her chest I suppose, but even back then, at 12 years old, I couldn't believe they designed her that way.
I'm so annoyed with myself for forgetting Edea, one of my favourite designs in gaming.
