Thread: Final Fantasy male characters: facial stubble

  1. #1

    Default Final Fantasy male characters: facial stubble

    I happen to notice that all of the male FF characters are clean-shaven all the time. I never see any facial hair on them, except for perhaps Auron from FFX, who had a fully-grown beard. After you shave, after several hours, you're supposed to have stubble: regrown hair that is too short to be shaved again. How come all the guys are clean-shaven all the time and never have stubble?
    Is that your final answer?

    they're all about 14 and only have to shave once a week. Then the events in the game only happen over a few days.

    There's just a few characters off the top of my head who have facial hair. Couldn't think of any from VIII though.

    Are their beards fully grown or just stubble?

    Not to mention that almost every guy in XII (except maybe Vaan - Baltheir counts as he has sideburns) has facial hair. Though every main character has top be clean-shaven... It would be interesting to have an unshaven hero every once in a while...

    Well wasnt Basch originally going to be the main character but they changed this before finalizing the game? In that case we would have had a main chara that wasnt clean shaven.

    Oh yeah - as far as facial stubble goes - Wakka! I can't believe no one noticed that yet... And since when did Auron have a full-grown beard? He always looked just a bit scruffy to me...

    Very few of the characters in FFVIII were old enough to shave, so no surprise there.

    Nonetheless, despite the fact that it's hard to get details of stubble, there are stubbly or bearded characters in every game.

    Moreso than if you walk the streets of Japan, where the games were made!

    One can easily assume that even in these worlds, the guys knew how to use a straight razor or knife to shave.

    Auron's stubble is often hidden by his collar, but he's definitely got a bit of stubble-mustache and stubble-beard.

    Well, yeah, I know, but I wouldn't consider that a fully-grown beard, which is what the OP called it.
