Description All right, everyone: this is an official survey for YOUR opinions on the appearance of the character designs in my RPG Maker VX Project, "Contest of Heroes: The Final Fantasy". This means, I want your input. Faving is always appreciated, but comments are the most important thing here. I'd like honest opinions on my designs; I'm happy with the designs, but I want to make sure the player is also happy.

CoH:FF Character Design Survey 1 - Noah Rivera

The look for Noah branched from the idea that his character is intended to be your average schmo. Really, he lucked out getting the role of being one of the main protagonists in this game, 'cause he'd probably just be an NPC in any other game.

As such, I didn't want him to stand out with any extravagant "typical hero features" like spiky hair, an open shirt, a cool scar, etc. He's got a lazy fashion sense (purple shirt and black pants, ooh!) and is only wearing armor because it's frankly dangerous to NOT wear it. And while he's not a disorganized person, I really rather like the effect of the half-tucked shirt; I feel it portrays the realism that not everyone has the free time to keep themselves perfectly groomed when they're busy questing around the globe.

Noah's a skinny guy, but he's got some muscle. Although an unlikely hero, I DO feel it's necessary to show that it's entirely plausible he can become that "Level 99 powerhouse" that will be the one ultimately saving the world (or something like that...)

So there's my reasons, but how do you feel about it? Do you like the design or dislike? Do you feel there is anything that should be altered, whether it be a detail or a color? And no excuses! I don't wanna hear "Don't change it if you don't want to". I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't interested in your opinions. If you honestly think the design is perfect, let me know. If you think something is off, let me know. THIS IS IMPORTANT!

to do you justice, i will comment.

I really enjoy the unextraordinary quality of Noah, he really is like a cross between Bartz and Locke. Again I enjoy the normal person quality of your leads. about thin guys, i enjoy the megaman x selection (gauntlets, leg gaurds, chest plate and maybe a helmet exposing the face) it shows he's a thin guy and but still able to hold himself like a warrior.

but the best is to remember is wear and tear, since he is the type to run or get his ass handed to him. you can imagine him taking on a tonberry thinking its a pushover. The color palette works well though i can only imagine the alternate designs you had for Noah. Really hope for the best from him. Now for the other members

Hurray for comments!

Bartz was pretty much THE inspiration for the character. Sure, I could've led the story with yet another Cloud clone (not that I'd want to), but I feel that would've made for a far less believable character and a simultaneously harder one to make stand out. He's certainly all that tough, but he's not unskilled.

Being a clerk at a weapon shop, he is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to weapon quality, monsters, places and more... whether or not he can put all of his wisdom into practice though, is the real question.

know you would like.

he is a clerk, didn't expect that. Can't be anymore of an everyman than that. I guess that would be his greatest quality,even though it will always be different out in the real world.

And don't worry, its the heroes that are thrown into the unexpected that are the best. They stand out because they are led by there personality rather than emo motivations.

The arms are a bit too short. The end of the hand usually goes to the mid-thigh when the arm is fully extended.

The shin-guards/legs are too fat, especially compared to his arms.

The eyes are a bit too high up and seem slanted inward. Also try adjusting the height of the ears. The top of the ears should line up with the eyebrows.

I'd say probably only have one belt for the guy so it's not Kingdom Hearts ish. Since his sword is behind him, the 2nd belt's not for the scabbard.
