What makes him cross that line for you?
I think he could easily pass for a woman as well as a man.

If anything, he looks less feminine in Dissidia. Don't you remember the waist and hips he has on his original Tactics artwork? C'mon.
He could pass as a young lad before, conveyed through a soft minimal aesthetic. Now he can't as a detailed and fully fledged out human figure. It's not hard to understand.

I disagree but ok.
I have a really awful hangover, in my mild defense.

What I really want, is to see Yoshida draw Ramza in a FFXII or Vagrant Story style.

Lol people over exaggerating. I love it, looks awesome! Can someone translate his move list? I wonder what bgm hell get.
Ha ha, another gold star for effort!

No more custom dialog boxes based on the game the character's from? That sucks.
I think Ramza looks fine, though I can definitely see the confusion. I can only imagine the even greater confusion if they brought back his War of the Lions VA
So long as Ramza isn't from Balfonheim, an FFXII render would be great.
Balfonheim:
There was voice acting in War of the Lions? Thats bizzare. How was War of the Lions, there were two new classes in it right? It made Blood Knight a proper class and there was Onion Knight in it too, right?
Whats the Rom Hacking scene for FFT looking like these days? Any interesting total conversions or are they all difficulty patches?

Balfonheim:
Takes a bold man to pull off the bald head/beard/pink pants look. Respect!
I absolutely love War of the Lions, but opinions on it are very mixed due to a retranslation that has as many detractors as it does fans (hell, perhaps more detractors) and the PSP version containing egregious lag in battle animations.
Can't speak in detail on the ROM scene, but I've heard there's a hard mode conversion of some kind that's the bee's knees.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I personally think this is a fantastic design and that the negative reactions in this thread are baffling.
War of the Lions has some lag problems without a patch. The translation is objectively better than the PSX translation, but they didn't just fix it up - they totally revamped it into faux-Shakespeare and made it heavily stylized, which seems to get praised a lot but was totally unnecessary.

Please don't hate on Reddas' fabulous pink pants.
Actually upon closer inspection those are shorts.
Really tight shorts.

People saying that Ramza looked feminine in Tactics are forgetting that all men had a soft look to them. Nearly all men had a waist and hips like Ramza. In fact for some reason men had nearly identical waistlines to the female characters making most look like they had huge hips.
Ramza doesn't need to be all buffed up but the makeup is overkill.

Indeed, he looks like a JoJo character, which isn't a bad thing at all, but it is bizarre.
Yoshida designs some really weird ass outfits.
To be honest it looks exactly like he did in FFT, only in a different art style.

Looks.... awful.
It's sad because I'm a fan of Dissidia games and of FFT, but this is just a really poor adaptation of the character.
whats so bad about it
Edit: Wait... ramza is a dude? i never played FFT... I thought it looked alirght as female character LOL

What a babe.
The negative reaction to Ramza seems rather exaggerated. I honestly don't see the big deal as it is a relatively accurate translation of the FFT design.
Also, I sincerely hope they pare down the HUD elements all over the screen for the console version though. I know there'll be differences between the console and arcade versions, so crossing my fingers that that's what it includes.

Yeah, take a look at Ramza's older brother, for example. He had that soft look about him even with a beard.
The "makeup" is just a way of portraying how pasty faced the FFT characters were.

So you think the dissidia face could pass as a male more so than the original face?

I think both art styles can equally portray a man or a woman.
I hope not, I love these super busy, silvery UIs that Square always makes. It was my favorite part of The Last Remnant
The more I see him the more hype I'm getting. Finally, my favorite FF character in Dissidia! Does anyone have a translation for his move list and how he plays?

Who should I blame for this
Just glancing over it he has access to Ultima.
Also it looks like his EX skills are Accumulate, Cheer and Shout, so theyre all his Squire skills.
But Nomura can do no wrong.

If people were to play FF Tactics, they would know that he has always looked like a girl.

Oh shit, I haven't played Tactics yet, but from all the conversations I've had with fans that have, I thought Ramza was a man.
I know right? Pretty faithful to his first appearance!

I don't think people remember just how many people mistook Ramza for a girl in the beginning.
He's using Iaido(draw out) in one of the pictures so I'm guessing he'll have a variety of job abilities.

Didn't people always confuse him for a girl? Isn't that the whole point of him being this androgynous/pretty?

Yoshida didn't design Elza and Reddas. That was Nao Ikeda, of Team NORA fame.

Perfection.
