I disagree. Centaurs are not outragious; they're in a whole number of video games and mythologies across the world. Salamanders are much less outragious that older designs, and the scuba toads are just toad-like blobs. Strangers initial design is not outrageous. He's a humaoid with slightly more gorrilla-like arms and a clint-eastwood lion-esque face. Munch is incredibly outrageous compared to these, an amphibion one legged strange faced creature. Glukkons are incredibly different, as are sligs.
These new designs are certainly not more original than older ones.
We're not getting disappointed with it because it's gameplay is different to the original games, but we are with some of the character designs. How are humaoid chickens more outrageous than a three legged, four armed, large headed alien-freak vykker?
But yes, I am personally disappointed by the 'goofy-ness'. This has nothing to do with me dictating what OI should put into their games, but more to do with my personal opinion on designing new and original characters.
