* In ''[[Disgaea]]'', the few characters with above small [[Gag Boobs|breasts]] ([[Catgirl|the Nekomata]], [[Horny Devils|Succubus]], and Jennifer) are significantly different looking because they were drawn by a different character designer (who did designs for earlier [[Nippon Ichi]] games).
** Kurtis is also significantly different looking from the other characters, his design being based heavily on [[Cyborg 009|Jet Link]]. The Prinny commentary in the DS version actually makes a point of repeatedly mocking his nose.
** Asagi was originally from [[Makai Kingdom]] before she started making appearances in the Disgaea series, so she had slightly different proportions than the rest of the cast. But this trope ''really'' came into play in [[Disgaea 4: aA Promise Unforgotten]], where every character gets nice looking HD sprites...and Asagi's still pixilated! If you speak to her, a few of her quotes [[Lampshade Hanging|draw attention to this fact]]. A high-res version of her is free DLC, however. And the new Asagi will even talk about how nice it feels to be HD.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', by virtue of being a crossover, features many different types of character designs in one universe. The toony [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] from the [[Classic Disney Shorts]], the less toony [[Disney Animated Canon]] characters, the cast of ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' who have more detailed textures due to their [[Stop Motion]] roots, the Anime-like [[Original Generation|Original]] and ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' characters, and the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' and ''[[Tron]]'' casts, who are as close to photo-realistic depictions of their actors as the game engine will allow. The first four groups mesh pretty well, but the addition of the last group makes things [[Roger Rabbit Effect|pretty]] [[Uncanny Valley|jarring]].
** In ''[[Birth By Sleep]]'', instead of getting a design in Nomura's normal style but with bigger feet and brighter colors, which is standard for the ''Final Fantasy'' cameos, [[Final Fantasy VII|Zack Fair]]'s design is heavily influenced by the style used in ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]'', while still retaining a ''Final Fantasy'' style face and hair.
