So I have been playing Final Fantasy XVI on my PS5 which will be coming out on PC in about 6 months or so and I must say, the game has some of the worst human character designs I have seen in history.

I'll post two pictures, one of them is an NPC character from Final Fantasy XV on a PS4 and the other is a main character from Final Fantasy XVI from PS5. Guess which one is which?

That's right, the one on the left is from PS4 while the one in the right is from PS5. Like hello? And this is the problem with basically every character in XVI other than the main character. They all look generic and uninspired. Now the monsters and boss monster designs are epic. And I am loving the story so far. But with characters so generic and unforgettable looking, it's really hard to care about any of them despite the crazy stuff and brutal stuff that happens in the game.

Yeah, ngl, but it looks like XV aged better than what we're seeing with XVI.

Also you can tell it's the XIV team due to the pursed style of lips they go for (during my time playing XIV, I saw plenty of NPC's with those pursed lip styles and it always looked like they wanted to take a dump).

What makes me wonder, is how long did this game spend in the oven compared to XV, because know XV took donkey's years to finally come out.

Yea I will say that story and characterization wise, XVI is a lot better than XVs "Gotta watch the movie, play all the DLCs, watch the anime, read the manga, etc" to figure out what the shit in going on. XVI is a lot more straight forward and you really do feel for the characters and their backstories and such. It's just because they don't look all that memorable and can really look yikes at times, it just doesn't give the proper shock as the game should be giving.

I am sure XV took a really long time to come out but like, I am not even asking generic NPCs to have the character models of XV. Just have the main characters and villains that you interact with frequently have interesting character designs. SE has always been one of the leaders of this. Even with XIII which is a game I did not like, the character models were excellent. Just feels like a big let down because of how long the game is and how otherwise excellent it is.
