Funny you should post a picture of Raiden and say how THAT's a lot more badass masculine... MOST guys I know that have played the MGS series think he's the biggest sissy-ass pansy character. :P (Hard to argue against... I mean, after his sorta 'cameo' appearance as the guy in the past in MGS3...) IMO, he was darn kickass…
Holy shit, did I just see them jumping in that last video? Jumping? In Final Fantasy? It's about time. @Pior. Hazardous: You can always do a character like that as a personal project. I tried to with my current project but still ended up somehow being stringent and keeping it under 10k tris.:poly136: XSI is pretty…
Hai, I didnt mean a specific platform nor company. Just in general, the appeal of creative texture stretching/reusing on dense meshes, rather than lowpoly meshes causing harsh shading, being compensated by heavy uniquely painted texturing. As usual, MGS and FF series come to mind.
The character designs are a reflection of what's popular here in Japan. Everyone wants to look like Jonny's, "Guriko" and Yankee's (not 'Merican Yankee). Go search Daigo, Exile, any of those groups.

I did not want to be the lowly female dwarf I played 66 hours of Dragon Age with. I really enjoyed FFXII! Much more then X-2... Can not wait for this!
Associating with a character doesn't have to mean "be like them," as rooster stated. We associate badassery with space marines, and we like badasses. Depending on the art style, the genre of the game, their back story, plight, and much more can greatly affect how much you do or do not like a character. I can associate with…
I dunno. I find these characters a hell of a lot more tolerable than FFX. I absolutely hated all the art for FFX. The characters, the environments, the vehicles. FFXII had bad ass character art design in my opinion. With the exception of the main character Vaan, of course. He looks like a rejected Abocrombie model. I…
Here are some environments: http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/digitalfoundry-final-fantasy-xiii-environments-study Some of them look pretty, but when you look at the edges of everything it's all very boxy. Near the end of the video @ 1:40 it looks like FFX graphics on PS2...
