I love the designs for the most part, but Serah and Lightning's pink hair irks me in what are otherwise relatively realistic designs.
While the other characters look like real people this "strawberry blonde" crap is seriously off-putting and I do not like it.
Discuss design flaws in characters, if applicable. :D
I like their hair. Okay Serah's is a little trailer park but whatever.
I can't decide if I would prefer Sazh's fro to be round or not. I go back and forth on it.
Hope's scarf is totally prissy.
Lightning's skirt laces down so, like... she must shave.
Fang's hair is... I don't know. Weird greasy mullet thing. Her outfit is fab though.
The hair in Snow's face drives me crazy.
I like Vanille's outfit, but it kind of irks me that no one blinks an eye at this totally tribal-dressed girl walking around Cocoon.
And that's a complaint about everyone. I'm spent.
I was wondering about the Vanille thing, too. I figured it's because if a Japanese girl wore something like that down mainstreet Tokyo, nobody would probably bat an eyelid, either. :p Let me know if that's true or not by doing just that, Shlup!
That's a good point. I wonder what the Harajuku of Cocoon is...
The only character I really have a problem with is Hope and his stupid scarf and color scheme
I wouldn't call Serah's hair trailer park so much as, she got bit on the head by the 80's.
My main problem isn't her and Light's hair color, but rather the cut. They should tag team smurf slap the person who cut their hair. That's a terrible cut on anybody.
Pink hair is relatively realistic. I've known several people with pink hair.
The hair is fine, this is fantasy remember.
I like all the designs, Hope did strike me as a Kingdom Hearts character when I first saw him, though. He looks a bit like his mum dressed him, you know?
Why does Hope's hair stick out at the back so much? xD
Haha, that was actually my first thought. Like "Sheesh, I wonder if his mom picked that out for him? :roll2"Quote:

Serah's hair bugged me more than Lightning's, and not because of the color. Shlup is right that it is totally trailer park. But she was not around for it to actually bother me.
Hope's scarf is my only aesthetic complaint. It's retarded.
I didn't pick up that they had pink hair until I read this thread. I never paid much attention, I guess my brain just registered it was an effect of the lighting. Then again, I've never been one to be a details person.
Unless Frocobo is super-well-trained for it's age, I suspect that Sazh is carrying a lot of bird poop in his hair. I would have liked to see that depicted in the design.
Chocobo's don't poop, that is common knowledge.
shouldn't be much of an issue since she wears those bicycle shorts under het skirt.Quote:

Serah and Lightning's hair isn't pink ;)! It's a beautiful strawberry blond! I am a stylist and I totally do color like that on women who want strawberry blond...although I am a little confused on their cuts...Lightning's is cool how she pushes it all to the side...but uhh Serah's is all razored off in the back except her ugly side ponytail coming from the center of her head haha. But I really like Hope's hair! It's the coolest Ash Blond ever! Vanille's to me is the most "unrealistic" color. Her's is pink lol. I agree that Fang's is a greasy 80s mullet...lol.
Also, Reina had pink hair, as I recall.Quote:

Four games? Sure hope not.
With that revelation maybe I can consider it to be a real Final Fantasy title (you know, with lack of fanfare and all :D)
I would've thought that was obvious.Quote:

Well my first thought when I saw the name Serah was "Well that's an odd way to spell the name Sara/Sarah. Cwazy Japs." Wasn't really thinking etymology so much.
Well, if I'm completely honest, I didn't do a whole lot of pre-release research on the game and didn't know who Serah was. I didn't read the instruction manual and just jumped straight in with subtitles off. So when I first heard Serah's name, my first thought was "like Michael Cera?"
Sarah and Serah are distinctly different sounding phonetically. :P
Maybe it's an american thing...
Depends on if you're pronouncing Sarah like Sah-rah or Seh-rah.
not in the game they're not.Quote:

Here in America (TM) we're lazy and slur our words a bit more than you fancy Brits do, so both (at least where I live, in New York) are pronounced Sair-ah
