When discussing what Square might do with Barret in the FFVII Remake on another site, I posted a picture of Sazh as proof that Square probably won't be toning down any of the....uh...you know. The stereotyping.
A poster, in response, made this observation I had never realized:
"You know, it's funny, but both Barret and Sazh are single fathers, and it's a pretty significant part of their characters too."
That's a neat little detail and I wonder if it's a coincidence? These two are the only black party members I can recall and to have them both largely defined by that trait is...well, not worrisome, but intriguing.
