The game has JUST been announced. The whole argument seems pointless. NONE of us (cept the devs themselves perhaps) know Ezio well enough to make a decision between the two.

...Now if you wanna compare outfits, than Ezio is WAAAAY cooler than Altair

Exactly my point, I prefer the appeal that Ezio gives, the education, the charm. I can't help it, I prefer the Renaissance, it's the start of true civilization, imo.
And at History of Art classes the Arabic part wasn't that fun to study compared to the Renaissance.

I like Altair outfit better, and Ezio's switchblades seem really lame...

Hell yeah, and I'm real stoked to see that Ubi has placed the next chapter of the game in that time. All the little things I've seen so far look fascinating.

i much prefer altair's more plain look. ezio is too flashy and extravagant. seriously he has two popped collars thats just not cool. also altair's gauntlet is cooler looking and i prefer the single hidden blade.

I prefer altair more as well looks much more under stated and trying to keep attention away from him self more than Ezio.

I like Ezio better overall, i've always liked the guy who can talk his way out of anything. plus i think that he'll have much better battle banter than "Come down here!". I also have a love for the left armed cape thing of his, along with the two blades, which i think he should actually be able to fight with.

exactly cas.

Ezio is badass. full stop. His suit is awesome.

howgh.

that's not extravaganza, that's renaissance.
it was quite normal back then. everyone was wearing this kinda clothes, thus he's blending better with the crowd.

I also agree with whoever said that we can't really tell which character is better, as the game isn't even out yet. We'll just have to wait until we know Ezio better. >_>

I too will wait and see which one I like better after I play.

It's called speculation guys. Part of having forums AT ALL is discussing your ideas on things that ARE YET TO BE. Talking about things like " oh i wonder if youll be able to do this, that would be really cool " or " ill bet this character behaves like this " its part of the fun and part of the reason there are forums at all. If you don't see a point in discussing this then leave the thread, don't bash it.

and yeah, as others have pointed out, the flashy outfit that Ezio wears would have been common dress for a nobleman in that age. wih the exception maybe of the hood. so his outfit is actually much less conspicuous than altair's was. the bright red sash of his would have been very rare to come by in the middle ages. dyes were expensive luxuries.

EDIT: Also, kudos Widow for the Samurai Jack avatar

I personally like them both.

Altair was simple, and in a good way, he was a commoner that knew very little. He wasn't very emotional and it seems he had a troubled past. I think the way he dresses shows his personality, simple and normal, not extravagant.

Ezio seems cool too, I like the way he dresses. From what the devs had said about him, most sounds okay.... but i don't know about him being a "ladies-man"..... i think what will be more interesting in the second one is that we will see more character development. I think that he will become gruffer and more assassin-like through the game. He starts off as a noble man that is very cultured, (and by the way, i don't think many noble men would know the streets like that, they often kept away from the poorer people. so this already shows that he has changed from what he used to be...) and becomes a killer. that is a huge change... Ezio dresses with more class. more like a noble and better quality and more expensive. I think that it will show his personality just like Altair's clothes showed his.

I think that I will like them both equally for the most part and these two are hard to compare, as they are from different cultures and grew up in different classes and cities and countries! I just hope that they get a better voice actor for Ezio.... that was the only thing I disliked about Altair...

well said Amo. i pretty much agree with everything in your post. especially the part about altair's voice acting. that, i think, was the worst of all for me.

if your talkin about the clothes... i will keep to my argument. ezio is filthy rich so he can afford nice clothes whereas altair's clothes follow the function they are required to. and we dont even kno what ezio sounds like yet. probably the same voice acter as altair

Hopefully they keep Ezio's face hidden like with Altair. We never really knew what Altair looked like, tried picturing him without the hood? This leaves a sense of mystery to the character and feels like YOU'RE playing the game instead of controlling some other boring character.

@ xanatos: he has the same face model as desmond.
