Character Designs~

Okay y'all, time to talk about the FFXIII character designs. I don't know how I feel about them...I think they fit in well with the setting of the game (based on the little information given), but something is...lacking to me. Let's take a look:

Lightning:

Snow:

Sazh:

Oerba (okay, I love this one the most :bigsmile: ):

Lebreau (this deisgn is reportedly based on volleyball players) :

Gadot (this design is reportedly based on NBA players) :

Maqui (this design is reportedly based on snowboarders) :

oh, and here is Shiva's alleged design which I actually kind of love:

DISCUSS.

What there's a new black male character with guns. Let's just hope he won't be throwing out curse words every 40 secs.

Shiva looks awesome! And I like Lebreau.

Yeah... Only person I like is Sazh. Rest suck IMO.

I prefer Shiva when she's in scissoring-motorcycle-mode. ;)

Is there some kind of rule that states that all female FF characters must show as much skin as possible? The look's getting kinda old. Something more conservative would actually be nice.

Most of them look like extras from FFX or VIII. Can't say I'm impressed overall, I do Like Sazh a bit but its cause of his face. I also like Snow but its only due to the fact that he looks like an older version of Seifer. His outfit really reminds me of Seifer's almost perfectly.

I like Shiva except for the wheels and I'm still put off by the "motorcycle" thing cause it still seems like a lame idea to me. Definetly not my top fave character designs from Nomura.

Yeah.

I don't think I'm too impressed with these character designs. Sazh looks cool except for that silly afro he has. Seriously, all I want to do is get scissors and start cutting that thing up so I can style it into something else. Aside from that, I like Lightning as well, but overall I don't think these characters really appeal to me. Also, isn't FF XIII supposed to be very futuristic? Oerba doesn't look like she fits in at all. Not that it's a crime, but it looks a bit odd.

You forgot to post the pics of Lightning and Snow.

I agree with you there.

Yeah that afro looks like a mushroom and you don't cut black guys'hair with scissors you need clippers.

I just realized you didn't post any pics of L or Snow Dynast.

It really is just the same even that cap is from Seifer's KH version. Wow Nomura's getting lazy.

Oerba, Sazh and "Shiva" look good so far. I really think Oerba comes out well in the game, from the screens she looks so warm and lovely with her gingerness and green eyes and haematite earrings. The graphic style makes her design come out well. Or something xD

The other designs are generic and terribilis tbh. Not feeling any of them at all. The characters look boring and the costumes fall into all the terrible Nomura traps. Snow has a tartan blanket under his coat |:

scrumpleberry knows the score :monster:

Edit: Oerrrrrba :heart: She needs a lovely introduction scene.

Maqui looks like Rikku from Final fantasy x/x-2 with a massive fur hat.

Or maybe Tidus now i think of it.

I thought it looked a Naruto cosplayer.

Maqui looks like a Japanese fashion model. xD

Haha, I do believe it does depend on the texture though, since I understand that African-American hair has two main types of hair textures. But you would be right, since it looks like his texture would be the kind you'd need clippers for. I'm not really much of a hair-knowledge person though.

Also, I think the pictures of Lightning and Snow Dynast are just not working. I could've sworn that I saw them earlier.
