Balthier's Final Fantasy Tactics Art

ZeldaGirl · 05-24-2007, 05:14 PM

I'm doing my best to repress the urge to make a dirty joke about the size of his gun...

**Valigarmander** · 05-24-2007, 06:34 PM

I can do that for you, if you want.

Wyborn · 05-24-2007, 06:36 PM

Good translation into the style. Captures him pretty well.

***Ace Mercury*** · 05-24-2007, 07:23 PM

Nice. Balthier's got hips.

Hey! I posted that originally!

The Final Fantasy Tactics Art always seems to make the characters seem a lot younger than they really are...But then again, how old ARE the Characters in Final Fantasy Tactics in the first place? Ramza and Delita are, what, 15 during Chapter one?

I wonder if he'll be any better than Mustadio...

I think it's because there are no noses in the FFT artwork. It's a well-known fact that young people do not have noses.

I'm waiting for Jay's comments on this.

Close. But please, you know I always use a lower-case j.

Anyway, yeah, I just don't like the FFT art at all. It makes everyone look exactly the same. And the no noses bothers me.

However, that is a very big gun.

I kind of looks like those 19th century biological field notes.

***The Doctor*** · 05-25-2007, 12:02 PM

Question is how does he smell?

The Willful Wanderer · 06-01-2007, 11:15 AM

And leather oil.

Also: Some of the FFT art is decent, but I find it odd that ALL the FFT arts of people involve minimal shoulderage and hugebroadwowomfg hips on the men. It's like..... borderline-androgyny.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-01-2007, 01:58 PM

...You took the punchline

Anyways, yeah, pretty androgynous. Kind of worked well in FFT:A, since it eliminated the need for face sprites for each gender.

ZeldaGirl · 06-01-2007, 11:46 PM

I actually do like the style of artwork. Can't explain why, I just do.

Sim Kid · 06-02-2007, 03:34 PM

I personally like the style of the artwork because it's not trying to be "zomg we'RE realistic!!111". Hand-drawn sprites have just as much character as a model of Gman having a wonderful time.
