Spoony versus FFX

For that matter, enough about Seymour's character design. Has anybody seen Cloud's hair? Squall's? Ultimecia's? Anybody else notice that Squall and Irvine run around in heavy coats in the fucking desert? Shut the fuck up and get over shit like this in a fucking fantasy setting.

I know what you're trying to say, but there is a limit on ridiculousness. Characters running around in their default outfits despite whatever extreme climate is one thing. But Seymour does look beyond stupid, even by Spira's horrible fashion standards (and honestly, thank you Spoony for bringing that up).

Shit, I love Kuja, but I made fun of his character design plenty when I first played the game.

No stupider than FFXIII, I'd say. :awesome:

Pulse and Cocoon seem to shop at the same place Spira does, tbh.

There is really no comparison there. Squall and Cloud are at least reasonable if very lame IRL. Seymour is just something else.

Seymour's a goddamn Guado. Guado's don't look like normal people, nor do they dress as normal people. That's like bitching about Chewbacca the Wookie and him looking ridiculously hairy while naked in the freezing cold while on Hoth. Or better yet, Bib Fortuna and his weird tentacle head and outfit.

Either get with the fantasy's setting or gtfo. It's not cute, funny, or reasonable bitching about fantasy shit that's fantasy. Seymour is not human nor does he dress like one. He dresses as his race does. Look at how Guado dress and then it'll make perfect sense.

Now, why might a teenage girl who is looked upon as one of the few sources of hope in a despair-ridden world -- but who can only provide this hope by essentially committing suicide -- and has bore the deaths of a number of loved ones and countless others maybe sound a little tired?
She doesn't sound tired though. She sounds like she's on ket. Her voice acting gets much better in later games however. It's just in this game she doesn't sound very natural at all.

"It's a fantasy"! Isn't a handwave for everything.

Shitty character design is shitty. Deal with it, knthnx.

Expecting realistic clothing design from a fantasy race in a fantasy world is silly.

Who said realism?

You can have fantasy-styled clothing that doesn't look stupid.

It fits the world and species that wears it, they all look goofy or whatever. Sure Seymour looks stupid, but I'm not going to get butthurt about someone looking weird in a game full of weird looking shit.

Wanting character designs that are easier on the eyes = butthurt


Good to know.

The excuse of it being a fantasy game only goes so far. That's like saying Jar-Jar Binks isn't a bad character because he fits in the universe he was designed for. I don't visciously attack every questionable aspect of every game, I do decide "just go with it" a lot because yes, it is a fantasy game with its own rules and science and the like. Like the Gunblade, it doesn't bug me, I don't mind it. You do have to just accept some stuff and not question it or else it'll drive you mad like Spoony acts like he is.

But you can't just handwave everything like that and pretend its fine, sooner or later you have to draw the line and admit "okay this is getting a little *too* outrageous." That doesn't mean yell and scream that it is stupid, but the suspension of disbelief *can* stretch too far and thats when the questioning begins. Like the hair. Cloud, Squall, strange but acceptable, Ultimecia, a bit further out there but okay. But Seymour with his blue horn antlers? That's where my suspension of disbelief stretches too far and snaps. Yes, Seymour is a guado. But if the concept art of guado is an indication, Seymour's hair is still strange even by their standards.

No one gives a shit about Jar Jar because of his looks. Its his annoying voice, attitude, and him being a stereotype.

Not being harshed by something that's fantasy in a fantasy game > handwaving.

Seymour looks stupid, but not so much so that he's out of place in the game.

I don't care about Seymour's design or people attacking it. i just wish people would lay off his voice-actor. He did a nice job IMO.

Also, if anything in FFX needs to be insulted for how it looks, it's Auron's Ultimate (and Retarded) Weapon.

Not only does it look utterly and completely stupid, I've talked to people who know about weapons and they assure me that it's Not Cool and Impractical.

This thread is turning into a fucking twilight convention.

Honestly you people are acting like Spoony insulted your mothers or kicked your dog.

I don't get the big deal over making fun of Seymour's looks. Even by FF standards the dude looks ridiculous.
