FF IV:The After cast of characters(part of the page is still under construction)

No, that's Giott's daughter, all right. Square has apparently decided that dwarves are just short black people now.

Short black AND fat. Anyone else think SE is trying to stick in some racial stereotypes into the games cast?

How was I supposed to know that's still the Dwarf Luca if they changed her character design so much?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The headpalming was in response to Square's ridiculous design change, not anything you did.

[Vermachtnis]

Wow. Yea that looks nothing like Luca. Where's the pointy helmet!?

[Takara]

Luca looks like a short, stocky, afro-american soccer mom on vacations in Disneyland with that pink jumpsuit, fanny pack, and sun visor?

Kawaii Ryûkishi, do you know if the original character design by Yoshitaka Amano was similar to that of the sprite? Is this a complete design change or were the dwarves always meant to be black people? I was under the impression that they were wearing very shrouding clothing and that their true nature was obscured from the player to draw an air of mystery.

I wonder why she changed so much? Does anyone think that they'll try to explain this in the game? Does anyone have a translation of the small description included with her character sprite?

The character sprite seems to hint at a job class identical or similar to Cid's — so, if I had to guess, I would say that she is a less physically powerful Cid with a new command to make up for it, like Mix, for example?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

This is correct. They were not unlike Black Mages.

[Roogle]

It is difficult for me to understand:



So they were really just short, black people all along! Huh. I never would have guessed. I wonder if they will address it in the game. I can see a scene like, "Oh, so that's what those dwarves really look like!"

[Vyk]

Man.. Just listening to the music on there gets me x_x; fond memories. They seem to be doing okay keeping the style. i.e. recycling sprites and such haha

[Evastio]

Looks like Ursula (some Martial Artist of sorts) has been updated on the site. I'm guessing she's Yang's daughter.

[Bahamut2000X]

Terrible name, decent character art.

[Roogle]

That Chinese traditional dress appears to be the attire of a female Monk in the Final Fantasy series, certainly. Lenna wore a similar costume in her Monk job class.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Ursula is a wonderful name.

[marysonnie]

Well, if Ursula is Yang's daughter she must take after her mother.
