i'd rather not use FF4-6 sprites as a reference, specially if you're just startiong into spriting. the reason is that these work under rather complex mechanics that you're suposed to understand when you already got some experience due they somehow "distorted" proportions.
now as the guy with the gay colored username said(i was about to say the gay guy above me) the main problem with these sprites is their overall lack of naturality and/or dinamism. right now they look really stiff, almost like lifeless dolls cut from paper. what i could recomend you to start drawing people is to first draw a stick figure who wou.d act as a skeleton, then gradually add a shape, then add colors over it(kinda like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwHZtYpxUEM)
dont be afraid to post again if you got any doubts.
