Part of the inconvenience of being a modern day human being far removed from our caveman days is the need to put on clothes. A major pain in the derriere is the fact you probably don't want to dress so haphazardly that you look like a scruffy clown with a garish mish mash of unwashed and unironed clothes when you step outside to greet the world. You want to look somewhat presentable for the occasion, hence why fashion is a big thing.
That's the same for video game characters. Making characters somewhat memorable and stand out from the rest obviously includes giving them a distinctive wardrobe. But there are times, especially in the Final Fantasy series, when characters have very questionable wardrobes. The kind that makes you wonder whether the character designer artist was deliberately having a laugh or if they were under the influence before submitting the draft. The kind that looks utterly uncomfortable to put on and take off, let alone wear for an extended period of time traipsing through caves, deserts, dungeons and cities in an epic adventure.
So in this thread, I will post a FF character and the next poster will critique said character. Then that poster will post an image of another FF character fashion disaster of their choice and the following poster does the same.
So let's start off with this one. Who would like to roast Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca's attire?
siiiiiigh...fine. I'll post this too.
