It is very possible that FF XV's "Cid" will be a woman. In following in the FF character's tradition (as stated) she fits all the categories. I read a lot of comments addressing the sexualization of this character. We're not the designer and we're unsure of the many possibilities of why she is portrayed in this way, but our minds will always tend to go on the offensive side. Our Western culture is vastly different from Eastern culture. If anything, Western culture allows for more sexualization in reality, meaning, how we live and breath, not what is in the movies, video games, etc. Eastern cultures have a much different outlook on things. If we specifically talk about Japan, couples rarely live together before marriage, don't have children without being married and even their law does not recognize father's of children born outside of wedlock. I've also read that mothers are not seen by their husbands as sexually desirable anymore. Once a child is born the mother becomes like a relative so to speak, which may be a reason why most families have one child. Nevertheless, I am not ignoring how offensive this character may be to some, but culturally the game is designed and coming out in a culture that see's things different. The bottomline is this: you have a choice. With a sure-fire M for Mature rating for this game, viewer/playing is advised. If you don't want to play for various ethical/moral reasons, then fine, but also respect those who decide to play regardless.
