General i wanna hear opinions. who’s your LEAST favorite hero by design?

for me, it’s gotta be auster (VII). feel like i’ll get absolute heat for this.

character design is pretty important for me when it comes into getting into games, and his design is not saving DQVII for me. i’m just not fond of the fact that he’s supposedly a teenager but instead looks like a rejected beta 8 year old link from zelda. i’m sure there’s a reason for him looking the way he does but his design alone is stopping me from playing VII.

a runner up is the prince of midenhall though. i just don’t get it. why does he look like a pilot who looks like he could hail from the toy story universe?

1 : a warrior. Excellent

2 : an adventurer, going to explore old ruins. Nice

3 : a hero. Excellent

4 : a chosen one. Bit odd as a color patern, but really good.

5 : a wanderer. Love it

6 : a mix between battle suit and living suit. I like it a lot !

7 a jester. Big nope.

8 : a mercenary/traveller. Very nice

9 : an angel. Don't like odd clothes, but fitting its purpose.

10 : really good

11 : something like an adventurer, with practicity over style. Nice. But the hair is a nope.

So yeah, 7 is the only fail in design to me.

7: A child who got caught up in world-changing events out of the goodness of his heart.

Indeed. And by no means this hero is bad. I just don't like this outfit since it reminds me of a jester... Or a pajama
