The new look of XSIII looks like a mixture of both games, a little bit of an anime feel from the very anime look of the firs game, and a little real mixed in from the more real looking character design of the second game. I loved the first games anime feel, but I thought for the story line the characters should have felt a little more real, but I really really love the new character design, it has a little bit of both, which is really awesome, since I liked them both, so mixing them could only turn out great, and they didn't change it so much that it altered the characters overall apperance. Its almost perfect. What do you think?

I like the new character designs alot better than the second. I dunno, XS is anime to me, and the second one's look just wasn't.....XS. Yeah, I'm weird, lol

New ones for me. Their faces are more soft and subtle. Especially KOS-MOS'. I like chaos' new look, but not Jr.'s. In my opinion, he needs a long coat, not a short one that cuts off at the waist.

I have only seen a couple of the new images but I also liked Jr's coat when it was long. I like chaos's look and KOS-MOS. :D

I didn't like that they gave him a shorter one, in my opinion, Jr. has to have a long one! its just his style... lol. But yeah, I know what you mean, and at least KOS-MOS looks normal again, I didn't like her look at all in the second one. I liked her look in the first a lot, but I kinda like her new look alittle more I think. I like the third one's character design, because its anime again, but their eyes are TOO large, like Shion's was sometimes in the first game. I kinda liked the second game, but yeah, it just wasn't XS. Though if you notice, they didn't change the look of a few people, like Allen, Albedo, Kevin, and a couple other not so main characters. But I kinda liked a few characters updates, like I liked Jr.'s look in the second one, and MOMO's was better. Ziggy looked the same I think, but was ALWAYS scowling, and had blue lips, lol, it was funny. And Kevin was scowling in all the flash backs too. There's one part that makes me laugh, Shion says something about Kevin looking like a child, and he turns to her and with his frown on his face says "I looked like a child?" so now me and all my friends do that just for no reason, because its really funny. Okay, so, I'm the weirdo here, lol. Try it though, its fun... hehehe. lol. I'm stopping now.

I like how they gave chaos back that part of his hair that sticks up. Thats chaos to me, lol. thats probably because I've overplayed XSI and never finished XSII.

I like how one of KOS-MOS' new look is similar to her first, which in my opinion, was the best. I like the grey blue outfit for her, it looks more.....KOS-MOS......I'm weird. I haven't really seen any pics of MOMO, but hopefully she doesn't have those shorts, lol :lol: Chaos looks cool, kind of a mixture of both games. With the yellow vest, and those pants are like gigantic versions of his short shorts, lol Shion looks kinda weird to me, but thats because I love her with glasses, lol. Jr. needs to give that coat back to the little kid he took it from, lol. Thats all, I'm done :)

Jr really should give it back to the poor little kid that had to wear it, I'd rather the little kid suffer rather then me seeing Jr. wear it, lol... And then the person who stole his coat from the last game should be captured and torchered, actually who ever stoled either of his long coats... lol.

It was me hahahahahehehehehehehehehe.....cough....cough...weeze.. weeze *pulls out trusty inhaler and uses it* ahem there that's better now where was oh I remember lol :P I liked him with the longer coats it made him seem older to me :D

I dislike that they kept MOMO's hat. At least they got rid of the weird shorts.

I love the new desing it keeps the anime feel from the first one but the realism of the second one...yeah i love kosmos new look xeno 1 looked really cool, xeno 2 looked good but this 2 version of kosmos look AMAZING!!! Chaos always rocks to me...Jr. looks really cool but the coat is true what u guys say it dosent work...it dosent affect Jr a lot but it does look weird hehe...Ziggy at last got a few things added to him...and momo looks cool too better than xeno 1 i didnt liked the way she looked there...Allen though has never changed from the uniform hehehe..i guess there are not many laundry stores or designers that want to work with him and revamp his style hehehe...at least shion got rid of the uniform on xeno2 and she looks awesome in this one...I just cant wait for this game!!! im sooooo impatient that i've decided i will get the import hehehe...

Maybe Allen should buy his own cloths instead of just rewashing his uniform, lol

yeah truly hehe...maybe they can't be handwashed...or washed at all lol

maybe since allen is finally a playable character, they'll give him a new outfit it could be one of those secret things they don't tell anyone about until the game is out, lol... wishful thinking I guess. I don't care for the vector uniforms. Though it brings up the question, does Allen stay at vector even though Shion and Miyuki left? That doesn't make sense, since Allen is so infatuated with Shion, which I feel sorry for Allen for, since (especially in the second one) she is always mean to him, and ignoring him, lol. Just realized that though... wonder why Allen is still at vector.... huh, one of those questions that will only be answered once it comes out I guess.

Maybe he's not and he doesn't get new cloths because no one will make him any and he is broke, lol

cool so he is a playable character or did you make that up lol :P

He is in deed a playable character. he wields a crossbow in battle.

alright can't wait to play it then :lol:

To be honest, when I saw the very first Famitsu scans of Episode III, I was really worried about the character designs. >>; It's been said many times before, but Shion looked like a cheap French hooker. Actually, pretty much every character has had crappy official artwork. HOWEVER, the in-game models are nothing short of beautiful; every last one. And that's where it counts. Shion looks MUCH better in game than in her official art, as do the rest of the characters. The only complaint I have for the models so far is KOS-MOS v4. If you ask me, her design looks a bit... 'crowded.' From the huge things on her wrists and hips, to the helmet. I don't particularly dislike KMv4, I just think v3 looks much better.

Ziggy is the same... again. ._. C'mon Monolith, give the guy a new freakin shirt.

chaos is a vast improvement over the previous two Episodes. Some may complain about his Aladin pants, but I love how he looks.

I was quite fond of Jr's duster coat too, but I don't think the short jacket looks too bad on him.

MOMO's the best she's ever looked as well. As long as there are not panty shots we'll be okay. -_-;

Those panty shots with MOMO was.........uncalled for. The game would have been better without them, lol. But she has a longer skirt now, so I don't think there will be any panty shots.

As for Ziggy, I think he has a new shirt. The texture on it is different even if it does look exactly the same, lol.

Jr's new coat looks similar to Sora's from KH2 but with long sleeves, lol.

yes uncalled for, but I must have been really dense since I had to have a friend point it out to me while I was playing it. lol. And lets just hope Shion keeps her new cloths on, if you recall, there was an incident in the first game where it showed Shion shirtless, it didn't show anything, but it was still gross. When will people learn we don't need that stupid stuff in games?! Anyway, yes the character design is awesome in XSIII! hehe...
