It's gonna feel really different to have a protagonist with such a different kind of design. Just look at his armor!

Look at his sword here, such a cool design too

He looks like a more dapper version of Guts in Berserk

Looks like this guy honestly:

similar color scheme and all! Not feeling Clive so far but I'll enjoy it seeing who's making the game.

He looks like a Devil May Cry character to me. Not sure if I dig it but I've never been a fan of modern FF so my opinion doesn't count for much here.

Hmm reminds me of Velvet from Berseria, almost exactly.

Same. Both in terms of design and backstory (so far) he seems like a higher budget but less interesting version of Velvet. Velvet's awesome though so even an inferior copy still has potential to be a good protagonist.

Outside of the red and black version, it thankfully doesn't remind me of Velvet from Berseria. She looks like she fell off a cliff and never bothered to get new clothes

Honestly, my biggest issue with FFXVI is the concept art is so amazing but the actual game just does not translate it very well.

Why do people say he looks like geralt or the game itself looks like a Witcher clone? Just because he uses a sword and is seen throwing fireballs one part in trailer. He does looks rough I'll say that lol.

Looks like an edgier version of the dragon age 2 protagonist.
Definitely see the lords of Shadow comparisons though lol

We still have a lot to see from XVI but if I'm going to be honest about my initial impressions the game seems very derivative of XIV and it seems like it's aiming to be a very "safe" game and I hope I'm wrong

plz note that these are just initial impressions and I know that this could completely change

I just cannot express enough how unimpressed I was with that first trailer

I also ROLLED my eyes at the "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do" line

Haha, thought the same thing. Not just the design, but they even have the same hunched-over, top-heavy stance, lol.

It's a pretty generic design, but it's still effective at looking badass.

It's honestly even more safe than FFXIV. FFXIV has you piloting giant mechs, steampunk mechs, futuristic mechs, huge colorful zones, pixies, etc.

Of course things can change as we see more of this game.

Definitely reminds me of a mix of Gabriel from Castlevania and Hawke from Dragon Age.

It speaks to my edgy sensibility as a 16 year old. So I like it, nothing wrong with a little bit of edgyness. Don't agree that the design is anything special tough.

And that's pretty much why I'm liking him. Between that and his Resident Evil-ass name, "Clive Rosfield" really is giving off of a definite Capcom aesthetic for a SE char, which I actually find quite enthralling.
I really like that descriptor lol. Dude is very Capcom
