20. Every time someone thinks about FF7 characters without ever having played the game, Tetsuya Nomura gives someone another unnecessary belt.

Babies, please?

The best part is how he's added belts to the original FFVII designs. Nothing is sacred! Nothing is safe from his tyranny of belts that are holding nothing up!

I still think he's like Rob Liefeld, only Nomura knows anatomy better and instead of big guns and unnecessary pouches and shoulder pads, he adds big swords and unnecessary belts and zippers.

I actually like Nomura's art (now, that is - his old FFVII designs make Liefeld's anatomy look good xP), but his belts, zippers, chains, and giant sword fetish is pretty wtf to me. I don't know why he seems to think that good design requires the same sorts of accessories repeated in large numbers.

I actually do like some of Nomura's art, really. I loved his stuff for 'The Bouncer' -which I think is where this whole zipper/belt/chain fetish thing began- and 'Parasite Eve', but I question his constant reuse of designs.

But I will admit he can draw well. I just wish he'd expand his horizons and draw more characters like Barret (i.e. larger builds) and less near-androgynous men, but eh, whatever. XD

FWIW though, I did like his designs for Vivi and Setzer in KHII.
