Personally, I disagree that every character has to look rugged, dirty, and like they just got back from killing things for a living (even if they just did 
). My logic is that the setting for FF is largely filled with idealized, anime-styled characters that never get dirty and are always oozing with dramatic style. While we know that people get dirty and scarred while fighting, that just doesn't happen in FF games. That's not to say that there's not settings where that's appropriate (consider, say, EverQuest) or that "you're doing it wrong" if you prefer a grittier look; rather, I'm saying that it's entirely appropriate by virtue of the character art and the nature of the setting to be an anime-inspired paragon of beauty.
