Character Designs All Games
« on: January 25, 2009, 06:05:04 pm »
Is it me, or have character designs gotten a little out of hand as of late? There's just too much. The character stops looking good after all those lines. I mean yeah your a great artist and all, but dude this isn't about you.

After PS2 they started getting out of hand, which isn't to say the PS2 Gen didn't have games with too much either, but it mainly kicked off with this gen.

I don't know it just seems a little ridiculous.

You are absolutley correct. This is out of hand, they need MORE belts and zippers.

I think we're mostly noticing it more...but there's also the fact that they can do more. *shrugs*

I know they could do more, but the point is they need to tone it down a little. And Nomura only uses belts and zippers in KH, other one have few or only in parts where it is okay. (except Lulu)

I'm not sure what you mean exactly.  What's getting out of hand?  Their clothing?

The second one (is that the new Star Ocean?) reminds me of the previous installments of Phantasy Star, which I'm perfectly okay with. And the last one doesn't look too bad either...sort of a cross between oldschool medieval adventurer and newschool pseudo-sci-fi casualwear.

Yeah I kinda like the last one too.  Where is it from anyway?

I believe it is from Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope.

Which better kick ass because I have come to expect a lot from that series.

EDIT: Nevermind I thought you were asking where the second one was from. I have no idea where the last one is from.

If I had a 360 I'd play SO3, but I don't have much interest in most games on the 360, so I don't have one =P

After looking around, I found out that the character I was talking about is from The Last Remnant.

Have you ever seen any Amano designs?  That guy started the over accessorizing craze.  Only difference is at the time they couldn't impliment the details within the games.

Which of his designs are you referring to?  Maybe I wasn't paying much attention, but I didn't really see anything that bad.  Except for maybe Gogo or something.

Yeah, it's less overly accessorized & more just detailed with Amano. There are characters that are heaped with accessories & junk, but usually it's the more outlandish characters so it fits.

Well they're not all overly detailed and complex nowadays.  Toriyama remains true to simplicity.

Yeah, it's so great that he's still working...While reading through Dragonball & his little author's notes in each volume it's really made me realize how old he must be now! I'm glad he's so popular because I've always admired his style.
