You're over generallizing...

Tetsuya Nomura replaced Yoshitaka Amano, after Amano was either fired or quit... (Mostly likely quit, because he still serves as an outside contractor -> Logos and such)...

People who are over obsessed with Nomura games are usually knew to the series. And IMO FFVII still is a great game. And Don't blame the characters* for the reason the games bombed...

Tetsuya is just a character designer until recently... KH and FFXIII...
His style is so generic, details don't affect the over all look. ALSO...

FFVII, VIII, X... had a more "mature" style of his character designing career...

only Until KH first released did his style change... to a 5 year old cartoon-anime style... (Brave Fencer included)...

FFVIII, kinna let me down, so don't say people loved it... FFX was just a graphics whore... so don't blame new people to be awed... Argh...

FFIX,FFXII, were only successful because of their unique aspects not characters... IMO Zidane and the whole style of CC, IX, (chibi-esque) style is really lame... Yet, FFIX was an amazing story...

Tetsuya is still young, and he'll get better I hope...

I do agree that the 2nd character does look too much like Siefer... like an KHII -> tranposition....

Jam it back in, in the dark.
