Your Favorite Low Poly Model

Might have to dust off an emulator to find out but I could see some of the finer details being harder to make out at the normal mid-match camera distance.
Get me high quality PSO character models while you're there my man!
Hah just saw this, thanks. Of course, being an unreleased game, and a build a long time before it would have been released, it is to be expected, but it made me laugh
These are awesome! Especially love Ifrit and Pupu.Sometime ago I became obsessed with Final Fantasy VIII.
I spend a few months taking photos of my favorite models, hope you don't mind me sharing some of them:

Thanks! First time sharing these in public, much appreciated!

I love the Bowser model. Don't know exactly why, but it's considerably better than the DS remake one
Hope Nintendo makes a low poly amiibo line.
He looks like a pug. I love him!
Kid Icarus is the only game I know of to feature SuperFX-style models as a throwback. (Wait, Starfox 0 has original model arwings as an amiibo bonus. Let me know if I've missed others.)
Depends on what you mean by "SuperFX-style", but if you just mean low-poly then VF4 is the first game that comes to mind:
Pic is from the "10th Anniversary" disc, but you can unlock these meshes in the actual game as well.
F1GP. I could go on about one of my favourite games but it's the car models I wanted to post about. At that time I don't think I'd seen poly F1 cars except for Winning Run in the arcades, so it was quite the revelation to see them on an Atari ST.
One thing I do like the DS over the PS1 models: No ugly texture warping. It makes me wonder what would a port of FFVII for DS would look like.
Cartridge size would not be an issue, due to the DS using MobiClip for video compression, which is significantly smaller that typical video sizes of the previous era.
Rare had some great models in their N64 daysHello were you looking for a great looking low poly model?
I had no idea what Wachenröder looked like and didn't expect it to have combat scenes that look so similar to Shining Force 3.
Ape Escape 1
Yes, I love those apes! They're still the best!
Came for that goofy Nathan Drake but where is he?
edit:
Oh there he is!
Yep, MGS1 and Vagrant Story are so good they turn the weakness into a strength. I love the way the models look.Like MGS1, Vagrant Story's models aren't easily separated from their extremely effective and economical texture work, but the result does allow for a lot of detail under very strict limitations.
The Harpy is probably my favourite individual enemy design from the game - it's a simple, sort of goofy design that works really well in context; managing to become oddly unsettling due to the way it's framed and its abilities. The mixture is slightly reminiscent of Kaneko's SMT demons.
