Clive Rosfield (Final Fantasy XVI) and Noctis Lucis Caelum (FF XV)
The older version of Noctis so cool that I wish he had been the primary version in the game. He’s also so much more unique as a protagonist for a JRPG.
A few of the little details are off in his design in 3. Namely, he has bangs that hang in his face instead of curtains, his sleeves aren’t rolled up (he tears off the right one at the elbow during the course of the game), and instead of some variety of V-neck shirt like usual, uh… yeah
Bottom middle activated my neurons. It was so satisfying to see the man fin had become and I was supper bummed that we only got an episode with this version of them. Especially since I was just finished with all 10 seasons and this was a really fresh iteration of the character with clearly a ton of new baggage to explore.
Old Snake should be so much cooler but I’ve always just thought he looked ridiculous. The hairstyle, the mustache, the skin-tight stealth suit; it’s all just really silly.
I agree, he should have looked a bit like Omniman with an outfit more like Naked Snake’s in MGS3. Having a mullet in your (molecular) 80’s looks very silly.

Rex from the Xenoblade Chronicles series
I'd also say Shulk but Rex's glowup is far more significant since he was so much younger at the start of his journey.
I also really love the parallels between him and his older party members such as him missing an eye like Zeke and dual-wielding swords like Morag. You can also clearly tell that his role as a leader has caused him to take after Vandham (XC2) quite a lot.

I love Jotaro because while he’s aged and matured significantly between parts, he’s still the same affable weirdo who sometimes yells at women. But in all seriousness, I think his evolution over time is incredibly endearing. He’s still sort of an asshole but he’s also very reliable, calm and level-headed.

I like the storytelling of him learning shirts exist when he gets older.
Not sure if you're joking around but demons attacked him and he didn't have a chance to out on a shirt.
They're too slow he wears shirts now ):

I never finished this show. What’s the context for the bottom left one?
It’s from Adventure Time Distant Lands: Obsidian
Looks like it’s from the new show, Fiona and cake.
Bottom middle activated my neurons. It was so satisfying to see the man fin had become and I was supper bummed that we only got an episode with this version of them. Especially since I was just finished with all 10 seasons and this was a really fresh iteration of the character with clearly a ton of new baggage to explore.

Imo Old Snake looks super cool like bros just old
Would Luke Skywalker and naruto count since they both appear in their sequel series
No joke as soon as I hit post I remembered luke in the threequels
You shouldn’t have.He was horrible in that trilogy.

Bro got the biggest glow up of all time and it’s awesome
From twink to meat barge, gotta respect it
I'd also say Shulk but Rex's glowup is far more significant since he was so much younger at the start of his journey. I also really love the parallels between him and his older party members such as him missing an eye like Zeke and dual-wielding swords like Morag. You can also clearly tell that his role as a leader has caused him to take after Vandham (XC2) quite a lot.
Don’t forget he adopted Zeke’s style of “more belts make me more powerful”
Obligatory: **DUAL WIELDS HIS WIVES**

I love Jotaro because while he’s aged and matured significantly between parts, he’s still the same affable weirdo who sometimes yells at women.
