Oh god, Lebreau is probably the only one of the three that's easy on the eyes X_X
Though, Marqui isn't too bad... but Gadot looks awful

Lebreau is hot IMO. I actually like her character design for a few reasons =P.
Marqui does look like he is an Al Bhed, and I really dont like Gardot

She'd look better without the shitty shirt coming from the inside of the bra deal.

Labreau - Rikku's face with black hair
Gadot - Wakka with (not just one random trail) spiked hair and moar muscles
Maqui - 12 year old Tidus with Cloud's AC hair chopped in half.
It's FFX-3
Wow, Squeenix are getting soooo original these days. :/

Because Amano's designs just were the pinnacle of originality. Everyone's blond, pale, and full of beads and shit.
Seriously. It's getting kinda dumb constantly pointing who looks like who from a previous FF. Jesus. Keep looking and yeah, no shit you'll find characters that resemble other characters since they're done by the same designers.

Capes. How can you forget the capes?
It seemed like nearly every Amano character in Dissidia has some form of cape.
That song on the site is nice, though.

Okay, okay. Sorry. Geez. *sigh* I just made a statement regarding my thoughts; I didn't mean harm or annoyance. :
I like Amano's works. Okay, so some themes are repetitive, but every artist has that signature, so to speak. Some are more fluid in keeping things unique.

For all the whining about Noruma, I hated Amano's designs even more.
But that mostly could have been because of the Artwork.
That said, the HURR CHARACTERS DESIGNED BY SAME PERSON OF COURSE THEY LOOK ALIKE argument is weak sauce in it's fullest. Lazy artists are lazy.

Art isn't easy (and it does get everywhere!) We can differ in opinion. I still stick to my guns that it's all in the style of the particular artist; there's similarities in design when it comes to many different artists.

If a professional artist's style is that there's constant similarities in quite a bit of his work, then I say that's lazy. If you're being payed a lot of money for your work you can put in a bit of extra work to differentiate your designs. I don't particularly care if anyone disagrees with me. That's just the way I see it.
I'm not even saying this about Nomura(Designs aren't even his) anymore. I just hate that argument.
EDIT: Fuck it's not a problem just for japanese artists either, I can name at least 5 western comic artists that suffer from sameface syndrome in their art and it drives me fucking crazy. What's worse is they can do better, they just don't try.

Akira Toriyama... The dude who designed Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball characters. I can appreciate an artists style, but fuck.. all these Dragon Quest Characters just look like Goku or Bulma or some shiz. :/
That said, I think that they still could have made the character's more different and appealing. Vanille's different, as is Lightning. Snow's costume design makes me think Seifer and all the others still apply. It's a FFX-pandemic to me.

Lightning is probably the least different of all the characters.
The fact that Snow looks like he's korean or some shit has helped me get over the costume similarities, which are ultimately meaningless.
These new characters sans Sahz, all look awful to me and nothing like past characters. Seriously, they just don't look good to me, and Nomura would have done better than this had he had a hand in their creation, at least I feel this way.

I'm not one to really advocate Nomura often, but I agree with this fullheartedly.

Alright, you're intitled to your opinion. >
I was not meaning to say you can't feel that way. I'm just saying that the artists' have at least a part of my support due to the fact that I know it's hard. I don't think it's worth getting snappy over, but - I'm kind of snappy right now. That and perhaps I came on a bit strong.
Dacon, I know your an artist. So am I. I know a few of us (perhaps maybe more than a few) are. For myself, still learning different styles and techniques, it's very hard to get what's in my head down on paper - exactly. That's never happened yet.
I guess it also comes down to preference.
Personally, I like Amano's works, as stated; I don't know really why - perhaps because it doesn't follow the art forms I usually see.
Nomura is okay - but I've only seen his works via Final Fantasy VII. His general style with faces and with body configuration is similar throughout all the characters. To me, it seems that the characters have long legs and short torsos.
