What do you mean by ghetto?
I like Rikku better. Penelo is stupid. I HATE her!
FF Girls I hate:
FF7 - Aeris
FF8 - Rinoa
FF9 - Quina (Don't kno if she/he is even a chick! 0_o)
FF10 - None
FF11 - Havn't played
FF12 - Penelo
FF13 - None! (Y do u think my name is Lightning???)
Wow.... It seems like you're a bit of a hater, Lightning. (By the way, "Lightning" is unlikely to be the name of the girl in the FFXIII trailer; that's just fan conjecture.) You know, "hate" is a very strong word to use - especially in regard to fictional video game characters.Quote:

They're ugly, bulky, and seem very uncomfortable. In fact, let's face it: Penelo has an awkward (nice way to say butt-ugly) style of fashion. She sticks out like a sore thumb from all the characters in your party (with the exception of Fran). She has some wing like things protruding from her back that makes absolutely no sense and her clothing is so tight that it's a wonder she hasn't died from the heat. Apart from her clothing, Penelo is also quite ugly. She has an upturned nose (it seems) and her hair is a jumbled mess of something (a bird's nest maybe?).Quote:

Actually, with the exceptions of Fran and Balthier, all of the main characters wear these so-called "ghetto boots" (including Larsa). I'm going to call them "shin guards", because I think that is a more accurate description of what they are. I agree that the emphasis Yoshida has placed on leg armour is rather absurd and disproportional, but shin guards are a recurring motif in FFXII's character design - just as "belts" were a recurring motif in FFX's. It is unfair and unreasonable to single Penelo out for this.Quote:

Some of the other outfits he wears in the game are even worse!!! :eek: Check out this hilarious article on Basch's clothing choices. (Warning: the article contains some SPOILERS.) As you can see, Basch sports the ludicrously OTT shin guards that are a staple of FFXII's character design - along with Vaan, Ashe, Penelo and Larsa.Well, that's a matter of personal opinion, I suppose - but I don't think that she is at all ugly. In fact, I think that she's rather beautiful. It seems to me like you have unreasonably high standards.... I hope that you yourself are a supermodel type, so that you can live up to them....Quote:

About her "upturned nose" (as you so delicately put it): most of the characters in the game have upturned noses. So again, you're picking on Penelo for something that is a common feature among FFXII's characters.
Attachment 2: Vaan, Ashe, Balthier and Fran - all of whom have upturned noses (especially Vaan!).
Attachment 3: Prince Rasler - who also has a very upturned nose.
I have an upturned nose. Does that automatically make me ugly, too?Penelo's hair is actually extremely neat. It is neatly parted in the centre, and divided into two beautifully intricate French braids - which are secured by blue ribbons at the ends. She has a few loose strands of hair on either side of her face, and a short fringe. I don't see how this style could be considered "messy". Fran's is far "messier", surely.Quote:

id guess id like penelo more. ive not played the game but she doesnt seem as annoying. in FFX rikku wasnt that bad but in X-2 she was just plain annoying. ill judege for myself when i play the game but i think penelo will be better.
Yet eventhough I havnt played XII and it is kinda unfair to make judgments before knowing both characters I would still have to say Penelo because shes a regulation hottie..(mean girls quote, point for me!!) But I dont think she could be worse then Rikku. Whenever I hear Rikku talk I wanna mute the sound but the clicker is always too far away. Im not a FFX hater, Yuna is my fav FF character and X is one of my two fav FF's but Penelo isnt in a game with Tidus which makes her that much more tolerable... and I never really thought Rikku was that cute anyways.
I agree on most of your opinions.Again,you're very smart :DQuote:

Yoshida has stated that he designed Ashe's bone structure on that of a French woman.Fran's really flat nose is an indicator that he might have designed Fran after an African(I am African-American and have a pretty flat nose myself)As people of African descent usually have flatter noses than people of European descent.Anyway,this thread isn't about Fran's nose it is about Penelo and I don't think she is ugly at all and I like her outfit,it's really neat (it looks kinda like a diving suit!)
Fran's very upturned nose
No offence to Fran - whom I adore - but her nose wouldn't look out of place on "The League of Gentlemen".... *snigger*
her nose didn't look very upturned in that pic IMO...
Nice pic,btw
Are you kidding?! If you can see a person's whole nostrils when you look at them face on (as you can with Fran), then their nose is upturned! If their nose sticks upwards in the air in profile (as Fran's does), then it's upturned!Quote:

scroll down to Fran's section,her nose protrudes more than I thought it did but her nose isn't very upturned...
And by upturned I assume you mean curves upward at the point
I will always love Rikku more. :love: I mean, just look at my name! I don't even know Penelo... *looks* Oh that girl. I still love Rikku more.
Rikku is just so fun <(^_^)>, but at the same time Penelope looks like a really sweet girl.. but you know looks can be decieving ~.^
