I must be a total stick in the mud...I just don't find pixels to be "beautiful."
3D characters are the worst! They all look like animated corpses! And the prevailing practice seems to be to make everyone look exactly the same- sort of young and fashionable, with short hair or a pony tail (to avoid having to animate long hair movement), with text book "perfect" bodies and faces.
They're all paint-by-numbers, dead boring. Just like Barbie and Ken.
If I HAD to pick two game characters.... I'd have to say Robert Cath and Anna Wolff, both from the Last Express. My reasons? They had actual facial expressions and some depth. Anna was talented, classy, and mysterious. Cath was quirky, dry, and energetic. They both had style.
