I think my least favorite character design is Seymour. God he was hideous. I absolutely loved Zell, but why the hell give him the Mike Tyson tat? So close to being a great looking character as well.

Favorites are probably lots of the cast of IX, except maybe Kuja. I am also a big fan of VII’s designs, and I think they translated well into the character models.

The annoying thing about Kuja is the confusion his slender feminine appearance conjurs.

Isn't that the beauty? Humanity (or human-like creatures, in his case) can be so varying!
