I think people are forgetting that for the past couple of generations some, if not most, of the human characters weren't really designed by Sugimori. He may have done the character art, sure. But he didn't design them.
Before now, the character designers were sticking really close to his style...
I actually thought Serena, Seline II, Elio I, Gloria, and Victor had pretty okay defaults. These protags are the first major screw ups if the, to paraphrase one of the many upset Japanese players, Oh Mikey-looking models don't change.
Like I don't care about the gender neutral school uniforms...

The diffrence between Gens 4 and 5 was obviously art style upgrade. It really wasn't as big as this in retrospect.
I mean it's pretty obvious that someone else other than Sugimori or the other usual character designers came up with the inital designs this time around.
