Never knew you were blind SSj12

no seriously even if he did the characters for that, they sucked big time ass, the only decent one IMO was balthier, even he could of been alot cooler. He lost all his bad ass muscle etc for being imprisioned and he just didnt look the part =(

@Lost tears of Kain:

I hate to rain on your parade, but as I mentioned previously, Nomura did not work on XII in any capacity and thus was not the designer for Balthier. Akihiko Yoshida did the design work for XII.

 .. he wasnt apart of the character dev team, he was lead dev. 

lol thats why i said EVEN if he did, which means he didnt O.o

guess my wordings bad

im just stating that even if he DID do them, they suck monkey balls pretty much (IMO)

@ssj12:

Seriously, what are you talking about? The only games Nomura has had a real hand in development on have been the Kingdom Hearts games and the far-off Final Fantasy Versus XIII. He did NOTHING on Final Fantasy IX or XII, and did only character and visual design on other games he was involved in.

@grandmaster192:

You have to choose two different developers for each negative vote, thus a maximum of three votes per developer per day applies.
