I'll start.

Favourite Guy
I liked the design of the younger pirate. Don't really know why. I guess he just invokes the idea of "PIRATE!" for me more than the cliched eyepatch dude: you know, a dashing dandy that steals ropes, treasures and hearts alike.

Favourite Girl
Probably the mysterious looking purple haired zodiac. If you can't tell from my sig, I have a thing for girls with odd hair colouration. She makes me think 'this is a myserious angel that you don't want to piss off'. LOL. (oh, and the above artist makes her CUTE!)

Favourite Class
Liked the idea of Zodiacs in general. The whole mechanical angel wing caster with light sword and everything was nice, I thought. Certainly trendier than the old Alchemist with their silly gauntlets.

Lulwuts
Didn't like the pose of the Male Phalanxes. Their designs was mediocre, and would have been acceptable, but that pose was awful. LOL. Similarly, the female warriors were a bit facepalm worthy, simply because they were like 'LOOK AT MY CHEST!'.

Favorite Guy: What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets.
...maybe..uh...the little shota shinobi guy? He'd be good for yaoi at least.

Favorite Woman: Female Shogun(D), then female Shogun (B), then Princess (D)

Favorite Class: Shogun times 1000.

Lolwuts: Female warriors. What were they thinking?
Second Lolwut: The hexer and ronin cameo. I want more of them.

Favorite Guy
One side of me has a tie between Afro Ballista and older Shogun (oh man so badass ) and the other side of me picks the older Prince, especially if he has a nice voice...

Favorite Girl
I love the red-haired Monk, but purple-haired Zodiac is maximum cute, especially drawn by that artist you linked >_>

Favorite Class
I do love the visual idea of the Zodiac, and all of the portraits are nice. However, I think the same about Shogun, and THEY have different expressions for the alt colors

>Female warrior underboob
>Phalanx wtf poses
>Female android designs are lame. Also, their pose looks like they are about to t-t-take it

Are we talking about the official artwork (like in-game) or this site that is linked above?

Also, why no Shogun or Android in the poll?

My guild is always girls only, with one exception for the two token yaoi guys.

Which is great since Etrian III has many wonderful female artworks, except female warriors. I didn't mind the Sarashi in ronin, since they had paper armor, but...warriors...NO.


Also love that group picture.

I think most regulars are avoiding spoilers and not reading much in this forum section.

I voted for the Monks. They're the best-looking class overall.

Maybe it's just the long anticipation of this game making us examine the designs more closely than before, but I think the character designer(s) didn't make them different enough. Many classes have really just two basic designs.

Best Male: Eh, I'm not really the right person to ask about male character designs, as I won't be using them. Best would be the taller Prince of course, since I can pretend she's a woman.

Best Female: The red-haired monk looks pretty badass. The masked Shinobi and the purple Zodiac are cute, as is Rena/Heidi the Farmer.

Best Class: Like I said above, the Monks look best as a group, probably because they're the most differentiated. The Ballistas are second because the male designs are ugly.

WTFs: Female Warriors. The barely covered breasts might be forgiveable (although mostly because such outfits are so common in games), but the 'look at my crotch' pose is just plain stupid. Overall, the designs need to be more differentiated, and have actual feet.

As for the Makita designs, I like
the blond Princess (commanding),
the dark Shinobi (mysterious),
the shy-looking Phalanx (her haircut reminds me of Claymore),
and the red-haired Ballista (even more badass than before).
The Warriors are a lot better, although I still wouldn't choose them.
Not so good are
the masked Shinobi (stupid ass pose, and no self-respecting shinobi would wear geta),
the Pirates (stupid tits pose, and silly toy guns),
the Beastqueens (their near-nakedness is more noticeable, and stupid ass pose),
and Rena the Farmer (not Rena-like enough).

'Kureha'? Shouldn't that be 'Kurea'? That's how it's spelled in both the manga and anime.
