I can't for the life of me get legs right, ever. Since he looks like he's ever so awkwardly taking a giant step, there is a scribbled explanation to said giant step on the right, but since that's a cop-out I wanted to know how to fix it. He's just supposed to be walking with his hands jammed in his pockets and his headphones on like he does for pretty much the entire game... well, except when in Tartarus.

Also, any other proportional/facial feature placement/hair/anything critique is welcome. I've been feeling stuck in a rut lately and any help would be great.

I think the legs are too short in comparison to the long body.
In the game, it seems like they have shorter torsos and longer legs, so... And his enthusiastic large step probably doesn't help much either xD
But, yeah, I'd say lengthen the legs a bit as a start. Something feels off with his arms too. I think it's not bent enough. I mean, when I stuff my hand in my pocket my arm is bent a fair bit more than that. Not quite a 45 degree angle, but close-ish. But being where his picket is I guess it can't be helped much mad

Anyway, I really like the head in general and the way you've done the lines on his blazer and trousers~

Thanks for the feedback! =D

Hm. If anything I feel like I'd be more inclined to shorten his torso a bit and keep his legs the same length, but... I'll look at it from a few angles and see what I find.
His arm's not bent enough? Gotcha. I guess I'll go back and adjust the pocket position and his arm.

I'm glad you like the lines, I picked them up from various people I've seen do the same on pencil sketches. (However, most of them probably weren't anywhere near as artistically lazy as I am, lol. XD) I'm also glad the head's okay. Most of the time whenever I start a sketch and never finish it, it's always the head that's actually done, haha. XDD

It's an awesome video game for the PS2. There's also an expansion pack for it. 3nodding

Minato's legs are too short in that picture, I'd have to agree. D:
