HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Okay that was good. Do me a favor and check out FF2's Firion in official art (as in the famicom original box art bruh). Or Cecil. Or Bartz.
Cecil wasn't the entire cast man, and Edge and Kain aren't depicted in anyway to be effeminate, and Cecil having long hair and purple lips when he goes Paladin didn't strike me as effeminate, but more so eccentric.
Bartz character concept art at release didn't depicted him as effeminate, but more so a wander, only since Dissidia did he become some what of a pretty boy.
Firion is a pretty boy, and their is nothing wrong with that, and his whole party wasn't some cast that fell out of a E-Hollywood pretty people only line up.
