I'm sure female gamers could care less. From what I understand, the average female doesn't like to see a man with a lot of skin exposed. The most they'd hope for is a tanned, toned, and hairless exposed torso. Possible Square qualifiers might be Sephiroth or Dauragon.

Speaking of ridiculously large swords, I just recently had a Freudmund discussion with my girlfriend about how I've grown-up hoping to be a superhero due to what psychiatrists would describe as "penis-envy." It's a personality trait you can expect to be shared by pretty much every heterosexual male. (I've never heard of a homosexual being jealous of another man's size.) It's proportionately spawned by gossip and media subterfuge and feeds on embers of inadequacy and powerlust.

Stripping Cloud and Siegfried to bear essentials and giving consideration to their respective personalities and origins, I'd have to immediately declare Cloud the winner. Siegfried grew up as a dumbass punk who accidentally killed his own father. Cloud was a MP is ShinRa's militia for five years before adopting Zack's ambition to become a mercenary. Hands down.
