[Preferred Character Designs Contest: 2 way match-up]

Ike's design evolves much like his personality over the course of the two games. As he matures, so does his look. At first, he's pretty young and inexperienced, charged with leading the Greil Mercenaries suddenly after an unfortunate event. Then he eventually gets the Ragnell which sort of changes his original design. After years pass, Ike looks a lot like his father in the sequel. His overall character design is nice and simple, but it shows both innocence and maturity as he grows.

Choice # 1: Ike
From: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Choice # 2: Ike
From: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Since Ike's design varies, I'm going to include some additional pictures. The first is Path of Radiance Ike, but with the Ragnell. The second is a front view of Radiant Dawn Ike since he has his back turned in the above picture.

Discussion on which design you prefer is strongly encouraged. It doesn't have to be an in depth analysis, just let everyone know why you like the design you picked over the other one.

Ike 1 looks cool, I'll give it that, but he also looks like your typical JRPG hero. Ike #2 looks a lot older, a lot more manly, and a lot more like the leader of a mercenary crew. It's nice to finally see a rugged war hero in an RPG actually look the part a little more than the rest of his anime-pretty comrades.

Radiant Dawn by far. Pretty much what Enrei said.

RD Ike, for the same reasons Enrei stated. He looks a lot more general-like.

Radiant Dawn, this one was easy for me. I agree with the reasons above.

I'm gonna go with the Path of Radiance Ike design. I do like the Radiant Dawn design a lot, his general look suits him nicely. But I've always been a fan of the "young hero" type of character, and his mercenary outfit looks awesome on him, especially after obtaining the Ragnell.

The design of Ike in Brawl is what I think of when I imagine Ike. he fights for his friends, after all.

His lord design in PoR.

I don't really have a preference. Generally, though, in the two FE games themselves (aka, excluding Brawl), I prefer most characters' PoR design. Some of them just look kinda... odd in RD, like their face is too long or something...
