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

Kain is probably the most well known dragoon in gaming history, and there's a good reason for that. We're going to be comparing his original design, with his sequel design. Kain goes through a lot in story and while he prefers to do things alone, in the end his friends comes through for him and that helps build on his character.

Since the wanderer design from TAY didn't stand a chance against the original, let's see how the Holy Dragoon stands against him. Basically Kain went from a Dark Dragoon, to a Holy one.

Choice # 1: Kain Highwind (Amano's Design)
From: Final Fantasy IV, Dissidia

Choice # 2: Kain Highwind (Holy Dragoon)
From: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Dissidia

Here's another pic of the Holy Dragoon for good measure.

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!!*

Armano, because Holy Dragoon seemingly had an accident in the aquamarine paint factory.

For this match-up, I'm gonna have to go with the Holy Dragoon. While the original "Dark" dragoon design is definitely awesome and is the definitive version of Kain, I really like the Holy Dragoon design. It symbolizes his freedom from the clutches of his former self, now instead of fighting for his own sake, he fights for his comrades. This is much like Cecil's transformation from Dark Knight to Paladin, but in Kain's sake it feels a lot more epic to me.

That and his Holy Dragoon is quite powerful, and I feel like this was captured in the design for him. Gotta love the hair!

Wait...what happened to the other thread?

I voted for Amano's design because he looks a lot more menacing.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's still there.

Amano. Too much stuff going on in the Holy Dragoon get-up. Also: Tiara?
