Of the playable characters, I echo the sentiment I read from a lot of Japanese gamers; they look like a freaking host club. At least it looks like they're finally killing the 'genki girl' trope; although the only specific one to ever bug me was Penelo, the trope in general has been wearing thin lately.

Once upon a time I thought that Nomura was the best thing to happen to the series, character design wise; although Amano is a great artist and I love his landscapes, his characters are always blonde and pissed it seems. However, I'm starting to think its time for Nomura to retire.
