Design-wise, I liked the following characters.
Suikoden I: Pesmerga, with the dark armor and almost commanding structure. Though I wish he could ditch the yellow cape for something darker, like navy blue or a deep green because it clashes against his black armor. This applies to his Suikoden II appearance as well.
Suikoden II: Seed, since the design of his coat is unique. The red crosses don't blend with his red hair, and the white manages to separate them enough so they don't clash. Luca Blight also ranks up there with his wolfish facial features and silver armor. I don't know how Konami gave Luca a blue cape, since he doesn't wear blue anywhere else, but somehow it works.
Suikoden III: Albert, again with the coat thing but it's very neutral-looking with the white and gray, adding to his objective personality. I was quite perplexed by the raspberry color of his hair, though most fanart I have stored in my HD has him with red hair like Caesar's.
Suikoden IV: -Kika. Her hair is a nice sandy brown that's rare to achieve, and I liked how her black pants were just low enough to make her sexy AND decent at the same time. The tattoo on her lower back is interesting, topped with the bone-like necklace she has. I was surprised by how deep her voice was, though. _________________ "Luca Blight, patron saint of population decrease." -- Benit, MST149

I'm gonna go with Flik from Suiko 2. His whole outfit was awesome.
But the absolute coolest character design in SUikoden goes to Luc in Suiko 3. That outfit was just a hodge podge of things and he somehow pulled it off. I've never seen someone look so cool while wearing a goofy mask and forest green.
(Granted I've never seen someone else wear a goofy mask and forest green, but just the same, they wouldn't look as cool as Luc did.) _________________

Suikoden IV: Jeane, she had a nice outfit. It looked like she had good character development in looks. Probably one of the best female character designs in all of the Suikoden series, if not the best. |

Suikoden II:
Meg and Viktor.
Meg is so cute, like a child in a lady's body, and I love her hair and skirt.
Viktor just looks like a beast. Flik looks pretty good too, but too 'pretty' when compared to Viktor.
Suikoden III:
Albert, Hugo and Sarah
Albert because as someone mentioned, that coat is D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S, and he remains very mysterious and neutral throughout the game, unlike any of his friends.
What can't you like about Hugo? bright colors, a dagger, dark skin with blue eyes (?) and...and, MC Hammer parachute pants. I love it, and I played his chapters in SIII first because he was the coolest looking of the three mains.
What I like about Sarah is that she gives beatings, and gets beatings, but she never has any dirt on her nice blue and white dress, and there is never a hair out of place on her head. |

Name the last time you saw a video game that modified the character's costumes based on how much damage they gave or received. :)
In fact, name the last time you saw a Japanese RPG that actually involved basic things like changing the visual appearance of a character's armour or something like that. The best I can think of is games that allow you to unlock secret costumes.
I don't believe the PS2 is powerful enough to model hairs being out of place, or ripped sleeves, or notches in a sword that increase as you get into more battles. The other problem of course is that someone has to DRAW all of these things, and it's difficult to fake it all the time.
Back to topic.
I do have this little crush on Sarah. Oh man what a babe Err, Sarah looks nice. And her pale hair and fair skin... it's just... so... really reallyhot extremely fascinating.
In general, the Suikoden art took a nice upturn going from Suikoden I to Suikoden II/III. However I know that many people found the art in II and III to be much cleaner and more detailed, but also more... well, it kind of went from this weird stylish watercolour art to a very generic CG-ed anime cell look. I personally prefer the generic CG-ed Anime cell look myself. However I also haven't played S4 yet and cannot comment on how those characters look; I believe the S1 artist and the S4 artist are the same.

Um, Confirmed, at least i'm 99% sure it's the same artist. I have played Suikoden IV and the art is better than 1, but still not as good.
I think it was a big mistake going back to that artist, I too prefer the 'CG-ed Anime cell look' much much better. _________________

I got quite a few...
Kage from suikode one... he was an AWESOME looking ninja... I like the colour mix using purple and black... he looks great in the game... but looked wierd when I saw his entire portrait... but anyway, yeah Kage looked like a bad ass ninja in suikoden one...
Hanzo from suikoden one... even though you don't get to use or recruit Hanzo the leader of the ninjas... you still get to see his portrait and him... he, like Kage, has an awesome mix of colours... though his colours are a bit too bright, he still had an awesome portrait, and looked great in suikoden one...
Yuber from suikoden two... of course this guy was going to be mentioned... he is the greatest character design I have ever seen... or that's what I like to think anyway, even though I have seen thousands of designs but meh... he has that greatly designed black armour smooth in most parts with a single spike coming out of his pauldrens, his leg guard shields are simple and smooth, black and well designde, his boots are not too bad, sharp and knight like... his helmet was a great design, covering the top half for mysteriousness, also with devil like horns coming out of the top... his helmet is not fully on, cause if he were to pull down the part covering his eyes, you would see that he has a medievel helmet... the colours are a great... no the greatest mix... black and red, with small hints of dark green on his clothings underneath... his long hair was rather anime like.... okay I think I have said enough...
Pesmerga from suikoden two... he looked good also, black armour,black hair... I thought everything or almost everything about his deisng was good... until I saw his yellow cape... but aside from the colour, he was overall a great design...
Luca Blight from suikoden two... Luca blight was the second greatest character design to me... he had an evil face, a anime vilain face... he also reminds me of bradon heat from gungrave... his great armour, his great colours... a great design...
there are more... but I will post them after... I am a little bit tired right now hehehe...

Suikoden
Tir *of course* and Gremio
Suikoden II
Sierra, Filk, Futch, Meg, Viki and Luc
Suikoden III
Nash, Luc, Yuber! and Hugo. I like the hair~
Suikoden IV
Hero *yes, I like the cute shorts and badana*, Troy, Kika, Rita and the mermaids.
I liked the artwork from Suikoden IV. Well yup, that's it. I didn't quite like Yuber with so much armor so the swtich in wardrobe was a good move, in my opinion. |

Okay, as I said, I am back to post some more in my mind hehehe.... let me egin...
Pahn from suikoden one... who DOESN'T like this guy... sure he has his faults and does bad things which I will not say as it is a spoiler... but he's a cool character, strong and all... not thye best but still... his rune makse me laugh the way he boars people up... also, he looks almost exactly like evil Ryu from the street Fighter series... yeah a red version hahaha... he also takes on a strong person in a duel, to save your life... oh wait, his head band is common, his armour o body clothing isn't bad, still looks good, he has some ok medium baggy pants... yeah everythin seems fine... or is it? NO his portrait is not fine... what happened to his jaw? lol other than that he is a great design...
Camus from suikoden two is another great design... what I am about to say also goes for Miklotov, Alen and Grenseal from suikoden one and suikoden two... they all look the part when it comes to strength and loyalty, they all have a sort of colour code as well... like ones a blue knight, he's a red knight, green knight and so on... their faces don't seem messed up that much in their portraits... and overall... they look decent in design wise...
Seed from suikoden two is a great design... his cloths are unique and rather cool hahaha, his hari style is great, like an anime style hair... also making it red, looking like a small blaze of fire hehehe, his face reminds me of Luca Blight, and overal, his design is good...
Flik from suikoden two... Flik in suikoden two looks like a main character... he is in complete blue and some brown and yellow parts may show... his bandana is cool... notice that in quite a few games the main hero wears a bandana... Tir in suikoden one, Serge in Chrono Cross... anyway, Flik wears one and it looks good hahaha... his armour and all looks fine, his cape was a fine addition... overall fine... no wait, overall good design...
Tir Mcdohl from suikoden two... yeah, I am trying to avoid the suikoden one Tir Mcdohl simply because of the ugly portrait lol anyway, the rebelious design works fine the colours match well instead of making him look like a fairy or a gypsy or something, his face here does seem a little wierd... but still overall he is a well designed character... yeah...
that's another few from me today... maybe I will return with more later...

Here are a few others...
Kwanda from suikoden one, his armour is rather cool and looks like a big mans armour... the type that uses a greatsword or a giant halbard or something... asically, his armour makes him look rather stronge even though size does not judge strength and all... a greta character design...
Another good character deign is Joshua of the dragon knights... his portrait don't look as bad as most others... and his armour looks cool and all... not too big and not too small... strong and fast... that's the looks it gives out hahaha...
Crowley from suikoden one... I don't know why this simply design is in my good side, but it just is... he is a simplistic and effective character design that gives off the mysterious message very well, his portrait too shows some signs of great power and secrecy... enough said, great character design here...
Teo Mcdohl... I think that the reasons have already been mentioned somewhere...

Let's see...
Suikoden I -
-Kraze...well I just find that the design and potrait was hilariously funny, and he remind me of some typical villain from Disney cartoon.
-Ted...his smile in his S1 design is bright... I like it a lot than his potrait in S4, where he had a sad expression. He looks like a nice boy next door...he had standard design though....
Suikoden II -
-Luca Blight of course, the artist really suceed in making his expression. The set of armor is nice too, made him look very superior.
-Culgan, I like his winged coat, even though some people told me that culgan's coat design is a bit corny. Bah, I think it's cool and the color fit him well.
-Plus Seed and Pesmerga for the same cliche reason, they look cool.
Suikoden III-
-Sarah, while I remember falling in love with her the first time I see her, her design is also pretty nice. I really like the dress design, and the blue-white combination for it comes out really good.
-Yuber, the chinese-style coat really fit him I think, as he comes out very exotic (well, at least to me) plus the hat, he remind me of actor from old hongkong movie that took place in early Shanghai.
-I also like Albert. His coat design is pretty unique and it's very cool looking. Combined with Albert's expressionless face, make the result very awesome.
-Nash is also better than he was in Suikogaiden. The coat remains the same, but his expression become a lot mature, he doen't look anymore like a bishounen
Suikogaiden-
-Sierra, the dress is just adorable, not to mention that this pale vampiress is very beautiful. The blue scarf make them a very nice combination. My brother told me that her dress is just like a sleeping dress, but hell with that.
-Elza, for the combination of beauty and brutality (the brutal part come from her scar) but still she's a very beautiful woman and her dress is very nice (the one after she open her coat)
Suikoden 4-
Haven't really look for it but I like Kika and Flare. Their design is pretty standard but it comes out very well. I also like Amaria (do I spell it right? the kogal girl)design, comes out a little erotic but not disgusting, and Mizuki's minimalist's clothes really fit her well.
Enjoy. _________________
