This is my first attempt spriting in the FFT style.
It's got gauntlets with spikes.

It looks pretty good to me, except the spikes(!). At first I thought they were outstretched fingers.
Unfortunately I can't visualize any other way to keep the spikes and have it not not look awkward.
Something about the left leg and waist also looks a little funny.
Colors are puty good.

Yea. I agreed with Madmartigan.
Other than that, i guess it looks fine.

The design itself looks pretty good. I would take a look at chapter 2 Ramza's shoulder spikes to get a better idea of how to do them. Definitely don't have the spikes be white though because they will just always stick out like a soar thumb.

Very good advice. Thank you Cheetah.

Waist is paper thin, bangs too straight, spikes (as mentioned), that thick 2 pixel neck line thingy..
Otherwise fine.

The two pixel line was on the base i used for this character, which was Valmrafra... SO I assumed it belonged.

As hot as perfection can be, alot of those things are unoticable in actual game size. if your comfortable with it the way it is now, i suggest doing a few more frames like it is, and get a better feel for how you want it to look. if you wish to change it, go back and do so, but just one frame can kinda make a whole sprites impression seem less impacted.
The only thing on it i dont like is the spikes. a bit more depth and it should be fine. a bit grey and an extra shaded pixel under them might do nicely as well.
This is far better then my first attempt, and even some of the shit i put into SoR now xD
