They're smurfing pigs over there.
Sorry for the wait, guys. Part IV is up!
I'm a bit slow to the game here, but got reading this after I looked at Part IV.
The thought that occurred to me was a bit similar to foa's point, and to some extent the 'all of FFVIII's characters were morons' argument.
While I agree with the general point about sexist portrayals, I do wonder to what extent all of the FFVIII cast are stereotypes or display debilitating weakness. All of them - certainly among the playable characters plus Seifer, demonstrate key weaknesses and advance stereotyped roles. I wonder if there is a wider point about the portrayals more generally in addition to the female characters. To a certain extent I think this could apply to VII as well.
