I am mixed about the character designs. Edge, Reimi, red haired dude and the green robot/cyborg look good but I can't say the same thing for the others. The faces do move a little unnaturally but video games tend to have unnatural facial movements anyway so I'll get used to it. If any JRPG has a chance to be as technically flawless as a main FF game, SO4 would be it. I don't think character designs are going to affect the review scores much if at all. Gears of War 1/2's character designs just looked borderline ridiculous and those games got high review scores. If anything is going to knock down review scores for this game, it will have something to do with gameplay and to a lesser extent, story.
