...I also want to know how you avoided Highlander Samefaces 1 and 2. =D
Yeah, I have absolutely no fucking clue why my character's face isn't more common; when I step back and try to be objective, it seems fine. I knew going in I wanted to play a realistic tough male, and that face spoke to me as the most down-to-earth (yeah I probably shouldn't be playing a Final Fantasy game). The one that 99% of Highlander males have (that's Sameface 1 I'm guessing? I don't actually know Sameface 2...) looks way way way too caricature for my strictly personal tastes. If I wanted to play an action figure I'd pick it, it just...tbqh it looks bloody terrible to me lol. How Westerners define traditional "masculine"* men does not seem to be a thing in Japanese aesthetic. Or rather, it's either Bishonen Male or Overcompensating Male in anime design. Pick one.
