People are constantly hating on Nomura's designs. Popular things tend to be hated a lot. And it's okay when people are hating on Nomura for using so many belts and zippers, for his style. I like Nomura's style but I can see how other people can not. However this character is absolutely different for Nomura, and probably for the whole jRPG genre. He is clearly a guy (you cant mistake him with a female no matter how hard you try), he lacks zippers and only has a few belts. He is an adult, not a 16 year-old pretty boy. And he is black, dammit! A normal looking black dude, in a japanese RPG game! And he looks absolutely nothing like Balthier, Irvine or Barret. That's what is so cool about him. He looks so different from everything else Nomura and other jRPGs have produced recently. And that's why he is destined to be hated by many. That's a shame really. |
Why is there always someone crying race for petes sake. This is getting really old, if you haven't notice there has been alot of hate for that White Snow guy. Like as if you are trying to convince me that I really like that design, but I cant admit it because I am a racist.... Absurd.
He is not a normal looking Black dude either, and also, since when are Jrpg charaters normal looking? That should not be. I actually though Barret was cool, but of course I am sure he was somehow racist to you.
