When you say that game comparison i know nothing of the game you showed

When I say I hate FFIX character designs I just hated the way they looked to chibi like and to be quite honest they didn't really appeal to me

Well i haven't played Dragon Quest VII either, but i saw it in the store today and went "WTFMIDGETS"

To me it's alot more chibi than what you see in FF9.

I thought the character designs were great. They fit the game perfectly IMO. I really don't get the complaints about the characters being chibi or looking like midgets. I really never noticed it until I read other people's complaints.

That's actually very proportional... If everyone wore their pants up high. They really messed up on Seifer's model, though. His arms are much shorter than Squall's or Irvine's arms.

And I think IX is an alright game, but I really hate being midget people... xD

I honestly can't see how they're midgets :\ I've played through the game numerous times, and I haven't even considered that they might not even be proportional. I've been playing the game since I was 10, and I still fail to see how they're all chibi-like.

:\

I guess I just like a game for what it is, rather than for what it isn't.

Of course it does!

People bash the characters because they are chibi. It's fine to be entitled to your opinion and not like the characters because the way they look. It still doesn't mean you should hate the game its self and character personalities.

What, you expect people to not hate the game for that? Remember, today's gamers are shallow, they could care less about story. Most newer generation FF fans are ones raised on either VII and VIII or X, so they think those games are the pinnacle of fine storytelling and that Cloud and Squall and Auron are the epitome of deep, multifaceted characters.

then I guess I was so fortunate for starting the series with IX. I really loved this game that even when I played VIII and then VII it didn't appealed to me as good as IX did. that's when I only noticed them being deformed when I played FFVIII.
