I'm wondering whose doing the designs for FFXIII, becasuse they are quite different and I have to say I'm loving them. They aern't very Nomura-ish is he responsible?
First of all, while I am a huge fan of androgenous charecters, Mr 33cm is a welcome stylistic change, facial hair! Also i'm not sure why people keep saying he's got blue eyes:
Clearly brown! The design of the new girl is pretty cool too. Shes not Europanease for once! Neither is Mr 33cm for that matter. If anything I'd say shes got a Jewish-type look about her.
So anyway, yes I love the new charecters looks. Thoughts? Comments? Opinions? Kittens?
It looks like some sort of strange new imagining of a staff. If there were to have anything resembling job classes I'd hazard a guess that she'd be the white mage-esque charecter.
I love the new designs of the character, I have to say that Mr 33cm actually looks more masculine than I thought he would which is good. Don't want too many bishi-men in Final Fantasy do we. ^^;
The girl is very interesting, something about her just makes her very interesting methinks, oh and let's not forget Lightning. Probablly the most intriguing character yet for me.
Wikipedia said it was a bow that Pigtails girl is holding.
Anywho..I personally love the designs.It`s finally good to see not that much belts,and zippers in some of Nomura`s designs.By looking at Pigtails girl,I say that Nomura wanted to go a bit primative with her design(god,did I say that right? D: ).By looking at the top image at scan 3 I can say Pulse is a more primative world,not medieval-ish type of world,but an Stone Age-ish world and Nomura wanted Pigtails girl to fit in with Pulse.I mean I never saw cave people wearing belts and zippers.If Pulse is a world based on the Stone age wouldn`t it be weird to see people who live in Pulse wear lots of belts?
Sorry,I may just gone a bit off topic.

see looks like shes holding a large branch with metal bits on it lol. nah i dont think there will be job classes, well i hope.
I think the FFXIII characters are more "classic" FF character designs... Versus feels very AC/KH2 era. I think Nomura knows how to do both, but he's just been doing a whole lot of black clothing and zippers AC/KH2 now for some reason @_@; I think the "Europanese" thing is part of that too, somewhat ~_~
It is nice to see color and dramatic clothing again~ But I like the Versus characters too XD
The thing in her hand is a bow. XD See scan of Game Informer that I haven't posted yet. >___>;

The designs on XIII are indeed way better than VersusXIII or many other Nomura FFs (on par with FF8 so far). They look more creative overall, and just to emphasize what everyone has said before: Mr 33cm actually looks manly!
I was talking about that just one or two days ago with Blankie, coincidently X)
Really, but its so not his style. I mean I see no belts and the guys look like guys. Well I guess it proves he's not a one-trick pony at least.
Either the higher ups told him to limit his style or secretly Naora or Arita took over. The first one is totally possible if you see the art Parasite Eve or Final Fantasy XI (not current).
Hmmm... I don't really like the beard... e.e
And the girl has bow?! I don't want to use a damn bow. >.> I want to use some guns and daggers, I'm pretty sure they'll have those weapons in the game too of course but I don't really like the whole idea of each character being able to be different things, lol I want to know exactly who the mage is, who the sword person is and who the gunner is, I don't want them to be all mixed up like FFXII. e.e
I don't mind using a bow...I mean it's something not used very often in FF except for Tactics and that's like a choice or certain class....
I mean come on, daggers/swords and guns are used so much in Final Fantasies...I think a bow would be cool...so long as it's good...and it has range aswell.....and FFXII was a license thing you could choose to use or not use certain weapons....
I like the pigtail girl's look, and I'm digging the beard for blondie...overall I'd say these character designs have more to offer then versus in my personal opinion...Versus has this Advent Children thing goin on I think.....
In response to your first post Dream, I have to agree with you about the Jewish/Hebrew look for the girl....the diversity should be good in this game...
Sniper man looks either Greek or German, in my opinion
