Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Look at that. Now you ask, what's so great about those designs? My answer: it's the perfect representation of Final Fantasy. It has the heavily stylized flair made popular by Nomura's designs blended with the high fantasy aesthetic of Amano's art. The designs are fantastical, but not over the top. Their hair is spiky and very "anime," but not overtly ridiculous in design. Their outfits have the buckles that Nomura loves, but are still relatively simple in design.
If Kingsglaive represents an overly westernized version of Final Fantasy...
And FFXV represents a modern aesthetic that's almost too stylized...
I feel as if Exvius is the perfect marriage of styles used throughout the FF series. It helps that the models were based off of Amano's art. Dissidia had designs based off of Amano's art, too, but the designs in Dissidia were even more heavily stylized than in mainline FFs.
Agree/disagree? What makes good JRPG character design? What separates it from western design - should it make an attempt to close the gap, as seen in Kingsglaive, or should it retain its very Japanesey flair? Discuss.
