New awesome character. A black guy. And a screenshot of Tifa touching Cloud's shoulder.

Holy crap, he has a chick... and that's not an orange afro :monster:

And I get the feeling that Lightning probably beats the living daylights out of her party members whenever possible.

Nice find, Purple. :)

lolz, token black guy. Couldn't they even try to not make him conform to the funky 70's disco negro with homosexual tendencies?

Also, if he's the only black dude in the game, it'll be FFVII all over again, :monster:.

Lolz, a baby chocobo who lives in his afro hair.

To post something of substance :monster:

Sazh Kalzroy (? Is that what it says?)
One of the characters who will be in the demo included with ACC this March. A gentle and sentimental middle-aged man, with a good sense of judgement and social responsibility. A 'nice guy'. He uses two guns in battle.

And lets baby chocobo live in his hair :monster:

Wow...Nomura certainly is full of surprises when he wants to be. That's fucking hilarious and awesome. He looks like Richard Pryor before he got MS and minus his huge ass mustache.

I like how different and non-bishounen this guy is. He sounds interesting.

@Yop

Hey, afro =/= 70's or disco. There are some people who wear their hair like that.

@hitoshura

What's that ACC scene with Cloud and Tifa about? I'm dying to know.

Although I'm sure a certain segment of fandom won't be pleased with it :monster:
 
Black guy FTW.

Hmm, maybe it is the low quality but Tifa's smile looks...freaky. Especially with those eyebrows situated like that she looks evil!
My immediate guess would be that it is from when they are about to engage Bahamut. Doesn't seem like anything special really.

*freaks out anyway* YAY, NEW FOOTAGE!

Indeed, what's wrong with baby chocobos?

:monster:

It is nice to see a more surprising character. Nomura's designs can get very...similar to one another.
And don't get me started on the Agito costumes. I know they are supposed to be in an academy, but a game attracts more attention if the characters are colourful in more ways than their hair colour.

GAH! The IRL baby chocobo is so adorable. Though, the one with this new character is pretty cute too. ;) Speaking of him, I'm finding his attractive for some reason. It's scaring me. D;

At first, I thought he may be from a different game, hahaha. Oh, I like Tifa's smile. I think it's cute. XP

There's the 'fro and the suit itself, which is very disco, imho. The chick (which I didn't notice before btw) breaks that however, :/.

No it's not, and this design is painfully stereotypical, and I find it a little offending to be honest.

His personality better be a stark contrast to his appearance.

God FFXIII looks shit so far.

What the fuck is stereotypical about it? Cause he has an afro?

I doubt he'd play into such a stereotype, to be honest.

Let's see, the face, the hair, the clothes, he looks like a fucking pimp man.

Dude, people do have afros, what the hell is wrong with that? And clearly he can fight and kick some ass, judging by the other screenshots.

I mean, seriously, if a black guy isn't a bishounen he's a stereotype? And Nomura is probably the last designer who'd pull stupid shit like that. He knows how to design a dark skinned character without making them look like something out of Amos and Andy.

The guy just looks like a friendly black guy with an afro and a baby chocobo. I'm more refreshed about him being different. I can see the Richard Pryor/Disco connection but honestly that's not stereotypical, that's just funny.

There's only a stereotype if you look for one and try to put him in one.

No, he looks like the stereotypical black male from the 70s whose all "Hey whacth yall cats doin". Just another goofy black man like you see in movies. The token black guy.
Dude, people do have afros, what the hell is wrong with that?

Hardly an afro, and that's not the issue.
that's not stereotypical, that's just funny.

No it's not. The one black guy in the game so far looks like a fucking joke. Wonderful.
There's only a stereotype if you look for one and try to put him in one.

I could just as easily say you'd think he's not because you're not trying to see him that way. That's a bullshit argument and you can stuff it in your fanboy craw.

Also, Reddas wasn't a bishounen and he didn't turn out to look or act stereotypical. So that's bullshit too.

Fanboy craw...? Is that like...my mouth?

I don't see him as looking that goofy dude, but okay. Whatevs. I can't change your opinion. We'll see the truth once the game comes out. He looks funny in his render but pretty cool in the actual *in game* scenes.

And how can he be the token black guy if we don't know if there will be any others? It's kinda premature to give him that title :monster:

He's the only black guy in the game so far, and there's a high chance it's going to stay that way.

You just don't like calling bullshit on anything SE does nigger.

Doesn't look cool to me at all. He looks like a complete joke, and it's more than likely going to be hard to take him seriously in the game.

Liar, I've called out stupid stuff I didn't like before. Don't make me have to defend myself on that point again, fuck face.

Like I said we'll see. If he does end up a joke, I'll naturally be highly offended but to this day, I haven't been faced with such stupidity in Final Fantasy so I'm not worried. Nomura's had some pretty awesome dark skinned character designs and they've been all pretty cool in their respective games. I have no real fear of it suddenly changing.

Now hurry up and answer my questions in that Batman thread you made. I'm honestly more worried over that than this :monster:
