    Default Blonde Rinoa

    One of Rinoa's outfits in Dissidia NT is based on early Amano artwork. What do you think of this color scheme, and do you prefer it to the original?

    As much as I love Amano, I don't really understand his obsession with blondes. Its a nice change of pace, and I would take it over a simple palette swap like some of the alt outfits in Dissida have been. Though with that said, it's not my favorite look for her.

    I prefer her as brown, but I also like that costume. It's fun that they include it in Dissidia.

    The outfit is great, but she looks better as a brunette.

    Isn't there just a ton of blondes in Japanese media? And need I remind you that the FF with an exclusively blonde cast had character designs by Akihiko Yoshida?

    What FF has all blondes? I assume a spin-off. Now I think maybe FFT. Ramza, mustadio, agrias are and uh the twins are not so i guess not.

    Balthier’s hair is the darkest and it still qualifies as dark blond.

    Huh, I always thought Fran was white haired. But maybe it is just a really light shade lol

    Woah that is strange

    I really like the design - but I think with the limited graphics it wouldn't have looked half as good in-game...
    I love the fact that Rinoa had dark aesthetics fit perfectly against Squall's style. Its almost like they were meant to be...!
