Err... no? I don't see anything stupid with it, having run through the entire game in english again and never bothered with the character portraits. You guys take away the enjoyment of the game yourself by always thinking the character portraits are horrible and bad. Get over it, enjoy them and have fun with the game I would say.
There's no getting around the fact that the style of the portraits is irreconciably inconsistent with that of the sprites. They either should have drawn the portraits to match the sprites or redrawn the sprites to match Amano's character designs.
And also, when you've beaten the Optional Boss and bonus dungeon, you can do boss-rush mode! I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it ahs something to do with fighting all bosses up until the rift bosses after each other, or something liek that. I'll tell if I ever get there, but for now, I'm going to retreat out of the bonus dungeon to spend some time leveling up.
I covered the boss rush in this thread.
