Well, I believe there are a lot of jrpg-fans that like this type of chara-design (and I believe there is a certain name for it) but it is not for me. I liked the old FFs until 7, 8 started this crappy design and from then I knew i would never ever get lovely graphics again but some western-influenced gay-looking (no offense, my opinion) protagonists. 9 was just an exception to the rule. I had to stop the FF7-movie after 10 minutes, I coudln't stand it.

No offense confirmed. I like it, it looks gay IRL, in our culture. If I dressed like this it would be like social suicide, and I seriously would not like to (no offense here, just exageration). But in Otaku culture its normal to me, and there is a good chara design to me.

It's exagerrated because it was traditionnaly necessary to make characters easily recognizable; in games cause of bad resolution, and in manga so it's easier to draw.

It's not that I don't like japanese chara-design in general - back when I was young I watched a lot of japanese stuff (Gundam, Tenchi Muyo, EVA a thousand times, GITS and all that stuff) but nowadays it's not my taste anymore. When I look back and remember how much fun I had with classical rpgs... Breath of Fire, early FFs, Lufia, Grandia, Lunar, Suikoden (for those who are wondering: I started using emus very early :)) and then take a look at the "new" Final Fantasy games I feel sad for Squenix...
