I'm not into the character design. It looks way to medieval and not much fantasy. I've noticed ever since the Ivalice/ladies and knights setting became more prominent the characters appear to become more flat.Game Informer recently released a magazine cover with Joshua and Clive. People were wondering if there was going to be similar art with the rest of the dominants. Turns out that there are more. Here they are.
Hugo is my personal favorite, here it is in a Japanese game store.
I have it on good authority that FF16 director Yoshi-P hates belts.That's actually why I like them. Nomura had a tendency to overdesign his characters with a billion belts on them. Sometimes it was just too much, these characters are more simple but their personality still shines through them.
Rufus was cool in the remake but his suit was absurd. Glad this game took a different route with its design. You can't tell me this doesn't look silly. Absurd amount of buttons and belts. Just remove most of them and its much improved.

I think there's a lack of charm to him. Rufus looks ready to submit an application to Umbrella corp. The below design is goofy but a classic. FF7 made a memorable cast which consisted of an immortal dog, a plush toy and Mr T with a machine gun hand. The newer ones are too idealized. FF14 had an interesting theme but it basically comprised of a young handsome prince with prince problems.
