Post some godawful video game character designs

Because she knows that Yuna's trip will soon take her across the world and she needs something warm. And a woman who fights with plushies and wears a belt-dress is obviously going to be practical to the extreme!
Well suntan is partially caused by cells dying due to sun exposure, It might be possible that if you cast a cure spell on someone everytime they get a sunburn then the body never develop a suntan.
I'm sure Tidus has some magic cast on him that prevents people from slapping the taste out of his mouth for dressing like that.
Yeah, I should have looked harder and put a touch of thought into that. There are some things one has to remember, respective to that game and its respective setting, from someone whose favorite D&D setting is Planescape: Planescape and Sigil are alien. It's supposed to be surreal, evocative, grotesque, and psychologically disorienting. If I had to think of a parallel in television, Farscape would be it by a long shot.
It's not tryhard, that's the entire point. We're talking about a D&D campaign setting that was inspired visually by Le Carceri, Brian Fould, M.C. Escher, Salvador Dali, and H.R. Giger. Unnecessary details, improbable features, and radicalism, are the design intent.
Now, are we picking on this aesthetic because we're ready to throw surrealism entirely out the window as an entire school of art, because the game's character design and costuming are surrealist and psychosexual, or because in this case the surrealist and psychosexual costuming happens to be on a female character? Because it seems to me like the last of those.
He's got a shitty "Devil Trigger" too. A simple palette swap with red veins all over his face and red/white glowing eyes. You know your game's super mode sucks when Oneechanbara puts way more effort and though into the design.

Rob Liefeld?
See, thank you for this point, not because I didn't understand Planescape Torment's art style, but because being specific about its influences lets me be a lot more specific about what the problem is. Annah's look is not Brian Fould, it is not Salvador Dali, it is not even H.R Giger. It is Image Comics. It is pure, unadulterated 90s bad girl comic.
I don't like the term psychosexual as a description of media. It's overused and used extremely inspecifically. I think it's a concept that can be legitimately applied to some media (like for example, the art of HR Gieger) but too often it's used to make basic horniness seem more interesting than it actually is. Liking big tits or leather outfits isn't some super deep statement. That doesn't mean it's something to be ashamed of but it doesn't deserve to be seen as anything more profound than basic horniness, and in this case I'm going to come down very hard on the side that this outfit fails the fetishwear test. It's less aesthetically pleasing than nudity.
Nah, their body proportions are physically possible and theres no huge crotch bulge so it can't be Liefeld.
Check the feet; it’s the only way to be sure.
The very idea that there is even as little as failed similarity between that nft crypto bullshit and my simian self is anathema.
Ah, well that certainly clears that up.
In a game where every male character is unrealistically proportioned, where one of them has multitudes of excessive pouches (Dak'kon), one is quite literally wearing nothing but bondage straps (Ignis), and TNO himself is an ur-example of Liefeldian male proportion, you chose to single out Annah despite the fact that by your own tacit admission her aesthetic is entirely consistent with the game's at large, because...bewbs.
Which is a 100%, certified, benevolently sexist double standard. "Big tits" is not cause for a character to have an outfit inconsistent with the setting and aesthetic direction. The costume is supposed to be grotesque, and it is. Grace being the exception, which you correctly pointed out, as her characterization subverts the tropes associated with what she is.
Seriously, what the hell is this? I don't even.I never played the game but this one lady from Star Ocean 5.
I have nothing against sexy designs but hmm. What is this.

Her design fails so hard at being a sexy mage/witch. Here's a better version of that.

What I want to know is, how does she put that outfit on in the morning?
