There were a lot of interesting designs in FF9. That's part of its charm, I think; great imagination in the character design! I just started playing it again the other night, and a couple that stuck out to me that haven't been mentioned yet are Cinna and the cymbals player (what is he, some kinda wolf man? Though he also kinda slouches and has kinda long arms, reminiscent of a monkey...) I totally agree on Queen Brahne, though. That woman was the first thing I thought of. Though I know there's a lot of really interesting monster designs, too. (Though all FF's have that, but this one in particular does, I think.) Anyhoo...
