Belts on everything need to stop

[SassyAssassin]

You add belts on too many basic non fighting clothing pieces and it seems to have become an unbreakable and uninspired norm.
There’s plenty of decorative things you could add that aren’t belts. Create an embroidery, add some small jewel or simply nothing at all. There’s nothing wrong in some simplicity from time to time, not everything needs a belt, tattoo or purse attached especially when we can’t even colour them.

We would have more pairing options if it wouldn’t be for both pants and shirts having a belt each.

I mean, considering this is Final Fantasy, we don't have nearly as many belts as I'd expect, or plaid for that matter.

OMG, everything in that picture makes me think "WTF, mate?" Why do his pants have a zipper on the side? Why does the zipper need help being held together by three mini-belts? What is up with the weird length of the fingers on his left hand? Why is one of his belts hanging WAY too low, wrapping around his groin? How can he even walk, with that on?

WHY IS HE HOLDING THE GUNBLADE LIKE THAT!!!??? And look how the gunblade, and even the chain and little lion face decoration, are all in perfectly flat side-view, as if he's holding a 2D cardboard cut-out of a weapon.

I need a belt to hold my belt

Lulu's dress still takes the cake for me. They removed belts but still have many belts. #belted

I agree with OP. Belt and zipper memes work on standalone characters from the mainline series because they just wear the same shit and rarely change it or have to care about mixing and matching, but OP's own post demonstrates how the harsh belt divisions create tension when you try to mix different sets.
Probably the oddest thing was despite the belt fetishism, the actual belt accessories (when we had them) didn't even show.
