Does anyone else find the visual style [B]annoying[/B]?

Seriously, I don’t know what it is, but like, the character faces except maybe Lulu’s were all childishly annoying.
And I couldn’t stand Tidus’s pants.
I do not expect many replies to this thread.

My bad, didn’t realize I put tags in the title.

Uh… no? Never really bugged me. But then again, I tend not to pay all that much attention to such things, especially the clothes.

BTW, I’ll take things that are annoying for 100.

Answer: Thread polls with closing times, when there’s really no point to specifying a closing time.
Question: What aspect of FFShrine thread polling do you often find annoying?

I didn’t really have a problem with that. I rather liked the character design, but one thing I didn’t like was Wakka’s clothes. It reminded me too much of an old guy about to go fly fishing. That’s just me though…

quite liked the style of it, the one I didnt really like was number 9…just didnt get along with it, and still the only ff game I have yet to complete

I know what you mean. It almost seemed to me the colors in the faces ran together for ineffective shading. That was all that really annoyed me.

aww, i thought their faces were really fat and cute. <3 very wide – just like a baby’s.

my babies 😉

Some of the outfits were good, some less so. I probably liked Lulu’s best, but wasn’t a fan of Yuna’s. And, legend though Wakka is, he should not have worn that blitzball kit day-to-day. That armguard really does look dodgy…..

Not really. I think the outfits looked better in FF10 than in any other so far, including FF12. As far as faces, there isn’t exactly a lot to compare them with. Any PS1 or prior final fantasy console game had barely recognizable faces, aside from FF8/9. FF10 might have had the most diverse and fleshed out character designs out of any of the recent games.

I personally like the faces better in FF10 than in FF12. Someone mentioned before that the FF12 faces have a ‘corpse’ look to them, with hollow eyes and I’d agree that there is something wrong with them. For that matter, I liked the entire graphical engine of 10’s better than I did 12’s. In my opinion, the colors are far more vibrant in 10 with more creatively designed areas and more detail (though the last might not be a fair comparison seeing as how 12 was an open ended environment.)

As far as the worst visual style out of recent games, i’d give FF9 that award. The midget sized characters with improper proportions in particular bothered me a lot. I’d give FF7 second place for the block characters, but I believe the bad style in that case was due more to graphical limitations at the time than anything else.

FFVII was on the same console as FFIX so graphical limitations were the same for both games. Square just did a half-arsed job on FFVII’s graphics.

The characters’ faces never bugged me either. true that Yuna has a really young expression…but that is because she is young after all.

Yes, I should have explained what i meant better. What I meant was that at the time FF7 was created, it was probably bottlenecked by the capability of the PS1. It usually seems to take game companies a while to fully utilize a gaming console and really get the most out of it, which is why you usually see the best graphics on a system arrive toward the end of its life rather than the beginning. Maybe you’re right about FF7 being slacked on — I don’t know. But if you compare FF8 to FF9, both of which were on the PS1, you can see that there wasn’t any graphical excuse for the proportional problems of the FF9 characters. FF8 had characters that looked like real people, even if the graphics of the character models were not top notch compared to nowadays, and FF8 was designed earlier in the console’s life than FF9.
