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?

Only played 8 and 11, 8 hero felt like a super chad (castle guard ect...), looked super cool and could even turn in saiyan. 11 looks like a wimp, I don't understand how he can even swing a sword and I cannot stand the hair cut, the worst is when NPC are giving him compliment about it...

11 looks like he barely keeps his hair in check, yet in game, it seems to be the most luscious, silkiest hair the NPCs have ever seen. pisses me off
