And I agree with the comments that say that FFVII character design isn't inspired at all. You want good character design? Here's a couple:

to me uninspired is the ones you shown , ff7 and 8 are the best to me in character design .

it´s a matter of tastes i think

 

my HYPE for versus is almost ZERO , have the avatar and sign to reminde me :P

with the ff 13-2 BS they stop production in this one, they are always stoping production to focus on other titles and i fear that  the final product will not be great.

better have expectations very LOW in this.

You can say anything about pre-FF VII characters, but uninspired they're not. It takes more inspiration to come up with characters such as Dragoon Kain and their overall layout than characters such as Seifer or Squall, who could be pretty much palette swaps of one or another. I'm not talking about character development, just character design. Plus, Kefka is considered to be one of the best characters ever created in any video game, not just FF or RPGs, both in design and development, an honour that few other FF characters can share.

Plus, it's normal for almost everyone who started playing FF in the FFVII era to consider the post-Amano characters to be the better ones, just as it's normal for almost everyone who started in the pre-FVII era to consider the Amano ones to be the better ones. Just like the whole "pre and post Sakaguchi FF's" debacle, there's bound to be opinions on both sides.
