We need more baggy pants in games. They can add so much to a character design.

Literally laughed out loud.

Clive from FF16's final look is a little ... over-cooked, imo. Whoever was working on that design just kept asking themselves "how can I make him cooler?" and didn't know when to stop.

Leather pants, big cape, deep-cut V-neck, big pauldrons, multiple belts and holsters, etc. ... A cool design, but it doesn't really fit the rest of the game, or Clive's personality.

Lore-wise, the armor belonged to his dad, but that dude wasn't an edgelord either. No idea where this "attitude" came from.

Clive is sick. I truly cannot understand how anyone can prefer his previous outfit. It's boring as shit. There's nothing good about it.

If enemies count, the Chapel Giants in Bloodborne are so great looking that they're the reason I bought the game. I think it's the hat that really brings it all together.

Gonna shout out one of my favorite mobile games right now, Path to Nowhere. There is a wealth of great designs, so I'm just gonna showcase three: (left to right) Zoya, Garofano, Hamel and Mantis. I picked these as a means of showing how much the devs are willing to play around with different styles and vibes.

Even if you're not interested in trying the game out, I highly rec having a look at the game's character designs, there's some really great ones!

I'm gonna be hella annoying about Hades II this year.
I can't say mine because it hasn't been shown officially yet, but yes.
Another one:

Guilty Gear's Giovanna.

The hair, the collared shirt, the big ass cuffs, the huge pants, the suspenders... and of course, the dog. I love this design.



Both great picks. People love to dump on Luso but I love that outlandish, garish design.

Futaba's design is perfect.
Honestly like... most of Guilty Gear is this to me. Strive just doesn't miss. Huge shoutout to Goldlewis though. That is some GOAT design right there.

Anything from Splatoon is SO good. Pearl and Marina are really fantastic character designs!
AND THE SHOP OWNERS ARE AMAZING! (yes I know my avatar, lol)

As previously entioned, Path to Nowhere has some GREAT designs. Really stands out from the average design in a gacha game. Langley's design is probably my second fav.

Two others that I love are Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile and Reinhardt from Dies Irae.

You have good taste friend.

haha thank you, fun fact, when I originally saw the OG Splatoon reveal during E3 I wasn't super into it. Then later on during previews I saw the lineup of shop owner designs and I was like OH what kind of world are they building here?? I've fallen down the Splatoon rabbit-hole ever since 😂

Yeah, Strive is on another level. Some of the greatest designs in games period.

I just realized now that they both have dad bods. They hide their thinning hair by either slicking it back or wearing a hat, have a bit of a gut, and of course they're both pretty out of touch with fashion.

Is this why they both became video game icons when we were all kids?

Anyhoo, my suggestion would be Faith from MIrror's Edge:

The complete antithesis of the dad bod. Athletic woman with functional but chic clothes and a realistic style. Unfortunately, sticking to their principles made these games underappreciated when they came out.

Arno Dorian's base design is Assassin nobleman perfection. His raider outfit in the DLC, which is reflective of his state of mind at this point in his journey, is also an excellent design and makes for an interesting contrast to his regular appearance.
