Alexander Appreciation Thread

The concept art is gorgeous.

The implementation of that art in the game has been atrocious. Perhaps they're going to build him up over time and he'll actually look cool later, but right now we have a few pieces of junk in a lake, and the inside is uninspired, most especially when compared to the designs of Coil of Bahamut. I went back into T1 the other day for some glamour farming and had forgotten how awesome it looks inside there. The music also leaves a lot to be desired—the trippy, pop vibe to the music makes the battles feel like a light-hearted romp or something, much like the story does.

I can only hope Midas is cooler.

They've already shown what he's going to look like when entirely out of the water, Alexander still doesn't look threatening and pales to the concept art shown above.



It's a real shame, they've managed to capture the essence of their art so many times before, to the point that the world is almost a living painting, but it fell flat here.

Oh, yeah that's...that's just...I don't even care. They're already doing an awful job of conveying how much of a threat he's supposed to be in the narrative, and that doesn't look any more threatening than he does now.
