[nightmare975]

Design: What the fuck was the designer smoking? Is this some way of appealing to furry-fans?

Combat: She wasn't worth the time to obtain, so I never used her.

Tilt: She has boobies, and her own weapon, but mostly boobies.

Con: She had nothing to do with the story what-so-ever.

Final Grade: D

[Radical_Dreamer]

Design: Absurd.

Combat: She wasn't worth the trouble to get.

Tilt: Why even bother existing?

[Kyronea]

Character Design: Being a furry--to the extent that I find humans with animal attributes quite attractive--I found her appearance appealing, but otherwise ridiculous, especially considering how her ears and tail are too large to be sensible. And what the FUCK is up with her hands?!

...

Okay, so I actually don't find her all that appealing at all. Maybe if her ears, hands, and tail were...you know...normally sized....

Combat Usefulness: She had a rather unique weapon...a carrot...but let's face it: I never used her.

Tilt: She's the kind of character who probably shouldn't have been created for the game...she's a complete throwaway. Her minor importance on the S.S. Zelbess could have been done without such an absurd character.

Final Grade: D

Design: She might be kind of cutesy if it weren't for those gigantic hands, tail, and ears.  If they were normally sized, it would be different.

Combat: She was all right, but I never used her.  There were many other characters who were more useful, so there just never was room for her in my party.

Tilt:  I sat here five minutes and tried to think of one good thing to say about her.  I still can't.  She wasn't interesting at all.  Just a character the staff probably thought up in five minutes and threw in there.

Final Grade: D

[ZeaLitY]

Design: She looks like a half Demi-human, or a semi-demi-human or something like that. It's a little out of place.

Combat: There are many in line before Janice becomes useful.

Tilt: She gets no development, though she does elicit a response from Spekkio. That's not nearly enough.

D

I wish whoever voted "B" would supply a reason. I'm genuinely interested.

[Romana]

Design: She'd be pretty hot with normal-sized hands, ears, tail...

Combat: Like nightmare said, not worth the time to obtain.

Tilt: I see she has no development, so she has nothing going for her. Too bad.

Final Grade: D

Janice fails.

Character Design - Well now...She's supposed to be a rabbit, eh? I don't understand how the gargantuan ape-hands or the freaky bat-ears fit into that, but I see a fuzzy, puff-ball tail! Otherwise she's just some girl...Her eyes should be pink, I think...well, there's a lot of her design that screams, "I'm totally not a rabbit at all!"

Combat Usefulness - Hmmm...She uses a Carrot...And all of her Techs involve her...drumming??? WTF? It's a shame she can't call on her various monsters from the Grand Slam...That almost would have been cool...

Tilt Factor - She's part of the Grand Slam, which is actually kind of a fun little mini-game...which could have been made much better if only they'd look to the thousand other RPGs with monster arenas...But whatever...We know next to nothing about her past or why she's on the Zelbess other than to fight in the Grand Slam. Another nothing character with no real redeeming qualities besides her furriness.

Final Grade - D

EDIT: Wow, I kinda wanna know who the lone furry-lover (not that there's anything wrong with that?) who gave her a B was...lol

I'm starting to think I accidentally did.
