Look. I like pretty boys. I'll say this now. Not that I need to. 

This game cast is lopsided and different in enough ways that there is going to be contention. 

I think it should really be something we can laugh about before getting too angry about anything. Honestly, I'd be more upset about Cidney's questionable attire and gravity defying chest. 

We should also remember that someone on the internet decided to make this little photoshop gem.

In any case, I'm sorry for intruding on your thread. I won't do it again, so let's be in peace now.

Honestly, Clover is like one of the nicest people here, there was no need to get snippy at her for trying to explain cultural differences that explain why the boys in FF15 look like "dolls"

also can we talk about how hot Gladiolus is? Cuz...

Hey, you guys had your hot chicks game with FFX-2. Time for us girls to get our share of the sexy characters cake.

And as a shonen-ai fan, I more than welcome male-only groups. Give me bromance and I'll die happy!

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.

Noctis doesn't look THAT Effeminate to me.

Sure his face may be hairless and he's got gelled like hair but he looks like a regular Japanese to me.

And that's quite all right! Because we have Cid:

Apparently everyone else is too nice or nonconfrontational to say it, but I will:

You are coming across as an asshole. It IS possible to state your views without coming across as a total dick, you know, and I'd actually be far more inclined to take your posts seriously if you did.

You also seem to lack the self-awareness to realize that some of the things we're complaining about DID start with you, so good job there.

Do you have anger issues or something? Serious question. I get that impression from your posts. Hardly a bastion of logic and rationality.

I keep seeing this title and then I keep remembering ALL of the major male Japanese "Pop" Idols out there. Popular. Hip-hop.

It's not surprising that they go for that aesthetic. It's fucking normal and even commercialized. Lest we all forget their big Entertainment brands *cough* Johnny's. Idols are fucking Idols and most of all of them have the same aesthetic here. Hell Yoshi-P is pretty much like the aesthetic @_@;

These types of threads amuse me a bit.

Many, many people frequently bemoan how shallow and superficial humanity tends to be when it comes to what gets promoted as physical ideals and standards, all the while actively seeking out the same or similar things that match their own standards. I mean, look at the avatars people choose to use to represent their characters that they personally created here on the RPC! Pretty! Beautiful! Handsome! Hnng!

Yeah, the cast is pretty. All of them. Some I'd go so far as to call gorgeous. So what? It sells. Not only does it sell really damn well in Japan, they've proven time and time and again that their western audiences will also lap up that aesthetic with a most enthusiastic "may I have another?"

So, yup, until fashion standards change for men in Japan, until they decide their audience is older and past all that pop beauty nonsense, until they decide that the FF series is about more than beautiful people beating up other beautiful people for reasons: expect lots, and lots, and lots more beautiful men and women with weird ass costumes.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my bunk.

Wow, this thread is still going?

Here, let me help:

Red herring: something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting.
I was going to say this isn't applicable, but it actually is: You keep responding to people in a really angry, aggressive tone when nobody is actually addressing you that way. That's pretty misleading if you ain't even trippin, bruh
Also misleading is that you keep accusing people of trying to thought police you or silence you or whatever when they're just disagreeing with you and trying to have a discussion with you. If they're putting words in your mouth, you're putting a lot more into theirs, yourself.

Non sequitur: a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.
Not applicable. Just because you fail to (or refuse to) understand how an argument is related to your topic doesn't mean it's not.


Here's another logical fallacy for your vocabulary. It's one you've been using pretty well!

Ad hominem: (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

I remember when FF was about short, fat, pixelated people using ridiculous expressions and flailing arms to convey a nevertheless compelling story of overcoming impossible odds to bring peace to the world. Them wuz th' days..
