I really don't think any way of doing it is better than the other, so I can't really offer applause for those who want rougher, dirtier characters, it's just another aspect of your character which leans closer to realism and further from Fantasy.
And let's face it, this is a Final Fantasy game... Looking back through the series, characters keep ridiculous hairstyles with ease, wear incredibly uncomfortable armor and do some rather exaggerated stunts... I'm not going to expect people to carry around hair product and fix up their hairstyle that the game gave them after every battle, and I'm not going to assume that it's messed up unless they say it is.Â
As for getting dirty, I think it's entirely possible some characters may be more self aware, light of foot, agile and careful about not getting dirty. Where as some characters will trudge right through the mud, some will be so observant that they walk around, hop across, or step over the mud.Â
This definitely is NOT Skyrim, but we do have to acknowledge that, to our characters, it's just as real, even if the art style and the background of the series allows for well kept characters taking on the biggest baddest enemies. It's just not up to anyone but ourselves to decide whether our pristine white robe is covered in muck after a battle in the woods.
