Wow, I was paying so much attention to the shitty pixelated reptilian chest, that Geis went entirely unnoticed! That's undoubtedly him, isn't it?!

Sure looks like it - the weapon, the hair etc. They did say this was only set 6 months after Ys 6 so it does make sense.

Ugh. STILL not liking the character artwork.

I argue that the weapon's a tad different, but that's definately him and his garb -- perhaps slightly updated. Looks like he got himself a new cape!

Eeep. Come to think of it, I wonder what Geis' artwork looks like? I mean, Adol didn't look TOO bad -- infact, the new garb looks badass, and I kinda like the new chick.
Dogi looks awful, unfortunately.
// Ys I & II Chronicles' artwork also looks disgraceful, but at least you can allegedly switch between the old and the new stuff. I'd hope so, anyway. =\

Adol doesn't look too bad? Adol looks terrible. Definitely the worst new design.

Well, I mean if you count his armor, etc. -- he doesn't look half-bad. The new artist is terrible with heads and faces. // It's probably the same artist that's doing the god-awful artwork for Ys I & II Chronicles, but I'd say that comparatively, the Ys Seven artwork is somewhat acceptable.

It's definitely not. Chronicles character designs look miles better than 7's.

Aside from the poor facial profiles, the new art style is admittedly more simple, which is probably a turnoff to some people. I like it enough, though. Everything but the main profile shot of Adol looks decent. Like... the art of his face in the in-game screens is ok. Totally unrelated, but I just noticed how much HP one of the bosses in those screens had. 48427?! Holy damn.

Playable Geis? Awesome. Okay, you know that if he's here then lolicon-bait's got to be around somewhere too. Hoping she's playable too.

Yakra, he is in the pic with the big turtle boss. He is facing away, but you can make out his hair, his headband and his axe. O ye (all) of fair eyes! I am blind as a bat. All I can see is Adol and... Adol and.... Dogi? Hm.

If you can't find the right picture, it's the top-left one in the last set of four at the bottom. Geis is right next to Dogi on the left. The cape is a bit whiter and slightly less torn than his old one but it's definitely him.

I still think Ys Eternal Complete and OiF (Origin too) and the new Chronicles have the best artwork. The new Adol model in game looks awful IMO and the artwork, well ewww!!!

Oh! I SEE HIM NOW!!! Thanks. I feel greatly at peace having discovered him. (How'd I miss him? He's so obvious! I'm truly blind. ) Geis looks like he's wearing a fur cape. Or a bedsheet which has been ravaged by a camel.

Adol is like what at this point? 24 or 25? Considering the artstyle, they're trying to make Adol look young in concept rather than closing in on his 30's Adol. That's my take.

Adol is either 22 or 23, depending of which of the official timelines you choose. xD Also, now this game is leaving me a MUCH better impression!!

Geis looks like he's wearing a fur cape. :-/ Or a bedsheet which has been ravaged by a camel. How is that different from how his cape is in Ys VI? :o

And I imagine the analog nub WILL be the primary form of movement. I can't conceive of playing a game like this without it, to be honest. Primary or whatever, I don't mind so long as it's not required. You can play Gurumin using the D-Pad. Of course you can't conceive of it anyway, you like the damn thing
