Final Fantasy XII Presumably the last "main" game to be released on the PS2, FF12 broke the tradition of Battle Screens. It was also the sixth game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 score from the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu.

Why do the characters look like crap?

am i the only one who thought that the character models in FF XII look really mis-shapen? like Vaan has some kindof weird excuse for a six-pack where his abs should be... they all have mutated faces too. did anyone else notice or am i going insane @__@

Vaan did have an ...odd body. He had an irritating nose aswel, dunno what it is but it really bugs me. Other than that the rest didn't bother me much lol

The characters didn't look like crap. They were pretty...normal, so I don't see the issue. They were kinda odd in X though.

The only thing that annoyed me with the characters designs were the white spots they had on their noses O_O

And the clothes on some of them, Vaans vest/top thing was stupid, and Ashes skirt was two peices of material held together by a staple and a prayer.

yes that's it right there, the noses annoy me so much. it's nice to not be losing my mind

but the characters in X look nice to me. except that weird mouth-moving thing they did when they talk sometimes, like where their mouth just opens and closes.
but i digress.

i seriously was annoye by how they all had weird round noses that were shiny lookin. the cinematics look, fine... where did it go wrong

The faces were odd, but I think that was just down to the graphic rendering instead of actual design as they all have it. Vaan's nose looked as if he just had surgical restoration after one too many lines of white.

If you think they look retarded in XII wait and see what they look like in Revenant Wings. All their faces just look so weird. As for Penelo, she looks like a demon O_o

It kind of annoyed me that everyone was blond and tanned, kind of like people who hang out on the beach all day and tan.

Vaan, Rassler, Basch, and Ashe even looked like they all could have been related.

And like everyone else has probably said, Vaan's chest scares me. XD
