Kabuki Auron looks great. Weird that he's still drawing Rikku's face like that all these years later.

What's wrong with her face?

Nomura has a tendency to draw Rikku with kind of a weird little cat mouth and it's always been weird to me because the rest of the FFX women he draws don't get that. He also tends to give Yuffie a very similar mouth when he draws her, so I guess it's his way of going "this character is a kid". It just looks weird, ha.

It has to be the voice actor effect right? Isn't his actor super famous or something

Wakka became a meme lately in Japan, don't take it too seriously.

Here is said meme, if you know Japanese, it is a ride:

I thought it was supposed to be a connection to both being pretty much the thief class -> cat burglar?

I sorta loved Riku is one of few characters with a distinctive set of dimples on her

latest

(I also loooove how 2000s her hairdo here is lol – someone get me butterfly clips!)

Remember Auron is a 33 year old

Bothers me EVERY SINGLE TIME. I honestly kinda hate Auron lol. His brand of "cool" reads cheesy to me. 🤣

The FF8 cast seriously does not read as 17 (butQuistisis18) year old eithers, and it didn't even when I was playing the game as a way younger kid who thought they were at least in their 20s (FF7 had it better).

He's not even the best supporting character in FF10, that's Lulu... an actual leader that is constantly working to keep the party functioning, unfortunate that they saddled her with shitty Waka at the end.

The gruff old man of the group!
That's a 35 year old man alright. Yep.
Thirties is absolutely old man territory, I see no nothing wrong with Auron's look.

I mean, he's also a zombie...

I actually like wakka, or rather, i like that a character was written in a game to not be some moral paragon and you can see change over the course of the game
But yeah JP fans super meme on him which probably helps with the poll results

They're also both different races(?) in that they're Wutaian and Al Bhed

I think it's just supposed to distinguish them visually

Wow, I never noticed this o_O She doesn't have them in the actual game, does she? 🧐

I always thought it was because they're based on Hollywood/TV show depictions of teenagers, rather than real-life teenagers.

I know this is not about FFX-3 but with all this promotion FFX got for this I see FFX-3 being announced later on. I think it is finally time.
