all of the character costumes are whack (Except Balthier). note - this game really likes exposed navels

-Penelo, with her form fitting clothes that seem more like maybe something you'd wear under a spacesuit

-Asche, who has a top that makes her boobs look really weird but also a tight red miniskirt/shorts combo?

-Basch, who has relatively normal clothes except that the part that should be covering his stomach is buttoned weird, exposing abs that you could shred cheese on

-Fran, who is a Viera, a race of rabbit-women who live in the jungle. Every single member of her species goes about their business in lingerie. Fran's ass makes a prominent appearance in the game.

-Balthier, who is dressed normally and somehow the hottest one here.

To be fair to Basch, if you could shred cheese on my abs, my shirts would always accidentally be buttoned weird. OH NO 😦 My killer abs are on display AGAIN! How embarrassing 🙈

FF XII has some of the dumbest character and armour designs and I love it for that. Everything you described is exactly why I love that game.

Same. I agree with that entire list and I love ever part of it. Absolutely love the way all of FFXII looks.

He is the leading man, after all.

I always figured Balthier had a different design due to him being an Archadian

I had never noticed how tacky Ashe's skirt was, the rest seemed fine, and in the actual game her face looks like serious and fancy
