No need to get snide here. A Paladin is generally a Holy Knight or any variation of, which generally means a Knight that has White Magic [at least in Final Fantasy's case]. I don't really see what hair colour has to do with it. If you look at Beatrix for example, she has light brown hair.

Okay, well you can't even see his hair as a Dark Knight in-game since he always has his helmet on to begin with. One thing you learn in some art classes and novelty analysis is that sometimes doing mega-extreme changes aren't always necessary to get the point across. I'm not saying this is the case here, but I'm just throwing it out there. I don't think that white hair was absolutely necessary, but that's just my opinion. It's Amano's design which has already been created, so there's no need to have a heart attack over it. I say the same kinds of things about Sephiroth as well [not a fan of guys with woman-hair] but what's done is done.

Yes, the white hair wouldn't be a necessity, but given the size of the original sprite having dark hair would have made the sprite as a whole considerably darker, especially when viewed from behind. (as most people will have Cecil as the party leader for most, if not all, the game)

-to many cids, biggs, and wedges
I love this tradition, especially the biggs and wedge selling the farm part.

I guess you don't know much about paladins.
A joke, nothing more

I suppose in Edge's defence, he didn't know Rydia when she was a little girl like we and the rest of the party do and so she has aged physically when he meets her.

As for the shiny outfit - why, I like to think that the shininess aids agility and manoeuvrability.
