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

Final Fantasy's original character designer, Yoshitaka Amano, had a very unique art style which he likes to include little dragons and creatures along side his characters with a watercolor style. That type of design didn't translate exactly the same into a 2D NES game, so the Warrior of Light's sprite looks drastically different than the artwork. Over time, both versions became iconic for the series and Dissidia really focused on the numerous versions of character designs for each character.

Choice # 1: Warrior of Light (Amano's Design)
From: Final Fantasy, Dissidia

Choice # 2: Warrior of Light (Sprite Design)
From: Final Fantasy, Dissidia

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.

*REMEMBER TO VOTE AT THE TOP!!*

I'm pretty shocked by the outcome of this one, I figured the sprite design would win by a large margin. I guess it does sort of have that generic feel to it, but still a great design nonetheless.

This is interesting, I'm glad the contest is going so well so far. It's cool to see which design is more popular, I've got a few more Final Fantasy characters to do then we'll move on to the 3 way match-ups.

I know absolutely nothing of the character, so I can vote completely un-biased. The first one, by far. Second one's 2D sprite's hair doesn't even match the full drawing of him O_o; Also looks like a random myrmidon from FE, very low-key from what I've seen of other FF designs...

I like it when other people get to the topic before me, then I can say stuff like, "Armano, for the many reasons stated."
