Gongora (definitely NOT the Spanish poet)

Let's talk about character design for just a moment. There's Gongora, the antagonist in 'Lost Odyssey', the latest epic length turn-based RPG to suck the hours out of me. This game is a beast, 4 discs on the XBOX360 (the most exciting product on the planet). It looks great, I guess, but plays like your old Game Gear that has a sticky button because you barfed up Dr. Pepper and a Whatchamacallit on it once. That is, it's nothing you haven't played a million times before.

I'm still 'sort of' into it. Anyway, character design. The reason I tend to not play this game that often is not because it's boring or played out, it's because of how the main villain looks:



I mean, look at that guy! If they were going for 'loathsome', I think they nailed it. He looks like a total asshole. God, I hate that guy.
