Final Fantasy 12 new jump scan

IF ONLY AKIHIKO YOSHIDA WOULD GO BACK TO DRAWING BUTCH MEN!

I still can't believe how good the character models look. It really is VS all over again.

Nope,no boobies,it's the only element that differs male from females at SquareEnix :lol :lol :lol :lol

Well it looks like it's a kid though.
I'm pretty sure it's a male given its name is Ramone.

Yep, that's the upside to Yoshida's slightly uninspired designs. They look great in the actual game. And now they animate well too.
 
This thread is hilarious.

Nice job covering your bases, even though you're sure, by still referring to "Ramone" as "its"... :lol

We'll have to agree to disagree on the uninspired part, I guess - I've yet to see anyone do medieval high fashion like him.
 
They should have went with Hideo Honda for the designs

14 year old boys should have muscles like Hulk Hogan. It's the American way

Making them look like boys would be better
 
Oh come on people can we seriously get over it. So you dont like how feminine Akihiko Yoshida's artwork is. I can understand that point of view but I'm really sick of hearing about it.

I like to see a little variety. I'm not all that excited with Vaan and Ashe's desings but I really like the appearance of Basch, Balthier and Fran. Couple these with the different races and you are looking at a pretty rich game world.

All we know about these characters is some vague background information and their appearance. We have no idea about the personalities each character will carry. Who cares if a character looks badass if he's a total douche bag?
 
What is up with Vaans costume, what kind of fucking jacket is that!? i dont get why RPG games always have to have a teenage boy who looks like a girl and has no father as a main character. Can we please have someone like Auron a s a main character?
 
Ehm. Ramone isn't nessecarily (what a stupid word to type!! :p) a boys name in the world of FFXII... I mean, who would call their child Vaan, or Ashe, or Balflear... Come on, we all know by now that everything is possible... She has two earrings and everything about Ramone screams 'Young girl'.. I'd say she's about 11 or 12 years old, not fully developed in that region...

Vaan and Ashe are technically still kids, Ramone is not only smaller but looks way younger... Anyone got info on her age though?

I actually like Vaan's design. :lol Brasch or whatever his name is looks really dull though. Balthier is also cool, but I don't know if I can agree that he's a fashionista. OK, now that I think of it, it's really only Brasch and this new character that I actively dislike. :lol

VS is still his best work though.
 
They should delay the game again and put a few male characters in. I'm all for females running the world but it's unrealistic to not have any males around (at least as slaves or something).

it SAYS it's a boy, so it's a boy, so deal with it

"He's too young!"
"He looks like a girl!"
"Snake is too old!"

I don't know what people REALLY want. Maybe something starring a 40-ish woman?

Ok, now I don't understand the earrings.. Ok, 1 is okay.. But in both ears? Ah well, it's a fantasy world, anything can happen... I mean, they got Chocobo's!!!! And Moogles! And Airships! And Magic!.... So why not effeminate men? :D

Also, his age isn't mentioned anywhere right? :(

Since so many people here are MGS3 fanboys, I think you're on the right track.
 
While I did laugh at all of the complaints regarding Dante, Ocelot, and old Snake looking too ugly, I agree with everyone here who thinks that these FFXII characters are too girly. The name "Ramone" is the only reason to think that this character is not a young girl, and even then I'm almost convinced that whoever came up with that name simply didn't know that Ramone is a dude's name.

The text next to his picture that says "A young upper-class boy full of mystery!!" is a possible second reason you may wish to add to your evidence pile.
 
"A young upper-class boy full of mystery!!" - Haha, they should go ahead and add a "sexual preference" stat to each of the characters for this game. Why beat around the bush.

The day Final Fantasy has a main character like Auron, is the day I stop playing Final Fantasy.

There are already enough games on the market to satisfy your obvious need for machismo.

Atlus' all-women RPG, Magna Carta: Tears of Blood looks better. Artistically and techincally.

Hmm, the main character - long, white hair, with thighs showing is a guy from what I remembered when I played the game...
 
Ramon is a guy. The first line under his blurb says "the boy that joins Vaan and friends on their adventure"...
 
old man snake needs to sneak into vanadiel and snap some necks. he can bring ugly dante with him. for backup.
 
Could easilly be a girl pretending to be a guy so people don't assume she is weak.... Happens a lot with characters without parents. :-/


As for the complaints about guys looking like girls in Final Fantasy....... What's the problem? You scared you're gunna get confused mid game, get a bit excited and start worrying about your own sexual preference or something? Damn. -_-

That's true...

"His" origin and age are unknown...so you never know. :\

By golly I think you got it! We're all afraid of turning gay!

It's hard to accept a guy who looks like a 108 pound, 15 year old girl as a heroic figure who's going to save the world with his sword arm? Square's main character has the same design every fucking time (except with clones, now)?
