Final Fantasy Cliches

[Firo Volondé]

repetitive blonde, male protagonists (at least in the Final Fantasy games i've played). not like i have a problem with it, but some aren't that good looking.

FFVIII...Cloud Strife
FFIX...Zidane Tribal
FFX...Tidus
FFXII...Vaan
FFT...Ramza
FFTA...Marche

Considering blonde is one of three natural hair colours (blonde, black and brown, excluding grey since that's an old person's hair colour and therefore unlikely to be featured on a young male protagonist), I think the examples you point out make up about a third of the FF series so I think it makes for a good statistical spread of hair colour . Besides, even if what I just said is complete bull, its just hair colour (By repetative, do you mean stupid? I would say that Could (in VII BTW, not VIII) and Tidus fit that pattern fairly well, but Zidane does not.)

FF1,6,X-2 - No male protagonist.
FF2 - Firion had blue hair (in two out of three versions) so we can discount him.
FF3 - In the DS version, Luneth is blond
FF4 - Paladin Cecil is blond
FF5 - Brown
FF7 - Blond
FF8 - Brown
FF9 - Blond
FF10 - Blond
FF12 - Blond
FFT - Blond
FFTA - Blond

Out of the 10 protagonists with 'normal' hair colour, 8 are blond. So you could say it's a cliche in FF games.
