character desgin

[Prancing Mad]

I think the character designs in FF8 were way too skinny, let's put that too a poll! Question: are the FF8 character designs too skinny, or are they just right looking?

2 pixelated

2 pixelated

Ditto

[Ashi]

I thought they were skinny, but they weren't that horrible to look at.

[Setzer Gabianni]

Too skinny, and horrible to look at during battle and off battle

Yeah, they were skinny, but detailed. I liked the design. (Well, the designs were detailed, not the sprites. Especially on the world map.)

I thought they were actually pretty good. It's kinda hard to tell sometimes because if you look at Rinoa during the dance scene, she looks really skinny. But during the end of the game, she looks "normal". Everybody else was good though, except for Selphie who was WAY too skinny. OMG her legs...they were scary looking!!! She's worse then the Olsen twins!!! :D

[blackmage_nuke]

Ward was WAY to skinny:p

[Meat Puppet]

Ward was WAY to skinny:p

Somebody is a bit lost.

I guess it all depends on who you are looking at. If you look at Ward, hes real big, and Selphie is real skinny. I thought they did a good job.

Really I didn't even notice, I was so distracted from the major graphic breakthough from ff7.

i actually think that FF8 was one of the better FF's for the atatomical correctness.....better than FF7 anyway....

I agree with this statement, alas, there is always going to be someone who doesn't like it.

[Setzer Gabianni]

What a shame if they don't. Rino was the one who looked the most like a cardboard cutout

[Lost Number]

The FMV of 8 were a lot more anatomically correct.
10 looked odd, to me.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I thought many of the female models were stupidly skinny and out-of-proportion, but then again they were probably based on Japanese actors who are most likely like reeds. Of course this thinking doesn't apply to Quistis, who is so right that anything placed close to her looks wrong by comparison.

[Acid Raine]

They looked better than in 9. Im not talking about proportioned, because they made the super-deformed thing in IX on purpose. Im talking about the characters can stand in one spot, and the pixels move and bounce all over the place. I think they did tht to simulate that the characters are breathing. Bad idea...it jes looks weird...

[Hambone]

They were too skinny. example: Rinoa and the SeeD inauguration. Did you see the size of her legs!? (not in the fmv)

lol that would look wierd i think its because the playstation when its renderin in real time does that cos ive seen it in other games....

[Slade]

During feild screen they looked skinnyish. But during the FMVs they were just right. But eitherway I still believe this game to have the best character designs of all of them :)

[BahamutGurl]

Squall,selphie and riona are really skinny

[Twilight Edge]

They were all skinny(except for Ward,of course),but the design was OK.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Agreed.

I thought that proportionally the characters in FFVIII were great, even if there were a few moments of legs becoming 4 pixels wide.

[~SapphireStar~]

When I first played I really did think they were far too thin, specially Rinoa. But maybe the less pixels or whatever used makes it easier?

[Stayin Dizzy]

I agree they were too skinny, but in the FMV's they looked normal or just right

[Rinoa_Heartillly]

Way too skinny, but keep in mind it's the graphics too, they're aren't as good as FFX.

[X Masta]

I thought they were just right, but Cloud from FF7 is wicked skinny especially his arms.
