How did I know that if a black character is announced people would hate on him and SE. Idiots.

It is great that they have put a character like this in the game. And he looks very interesting.

Is it so wrong to hate Nomura's designs, regardless of race, gender, or creed?

 

 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.

O rly?

Look at Irvine again and you'll notice he's an Irvine of lower quality.

 

 

Considering that FFVIII is my 2nd favourite FF game ever and that I have finished it at least 7 times I sure as hell know how Irvine looks. And he certainly looks nothing like this guy. The black dude's personality also seems to be completely different.

 

I finished it 4 times, and its enough for me to see that he's a splitting image of Irvine. I'm not the only one who thinks so either.

 

he will be nothing like irvine according to the character description he is very sensitive is a gentle hearted person easily moved to tears, possesses good judgment and a sense of social responsibility. thats nothing like irvine. opps already posted.

 

Did I ever say they have the same personality?

I just said they look very very alike. 

 

like physically?.

 

Dressing style. Incredibly identical.

 

what??? of course not they dressed diferently. maybe they look similar just a little bit because of the coat thing but even that is diferent.

Bascially, he's Irvine Kineas and Balthier with a little brown skin tossed in for political correctness... God I hope FF Versus XIII beats this one in character design...

It already has.

Troof.

Nomura sucks.

Nomura loves cash.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Nomura's career is more about money than it ever was about talent.

Versus XIII > XIII. Because Nomura is a fanboy too.

At least Nomura is cutting back on the beltanzipper shit. It was pretty bad in some of the games.

This makes me feel like rating games that haven't come out yet.

It's usually very hard to see what you DO like.

So glad that mature and racial/social tolerance is alive and well in the new year.



I'm just saying...
