I never actually played Illusion of Gaia past the Incan Ruins in the beginning, but IIRC I thought Freedan was supposed to be older (I also thought he was pretty badass compared to Will, a kid wearing a tunic and using a...flute). Don't get me wrong; the sprite looks good and you've been making great progress, but I think it would be a little more true to the character if you made the face a little older looking. Right now the facial features seem a little soft compared to the rest of the body structure.
I'm also not sure what you're going for here (you might be wanting a younger Freedan, in which case my point is moot), so if I'm completely off base just ignore me.
