Tangentially related: How poor representation of women damages gameplay 101:

1) Women usually get shoved into the 'healer' role.
2) The women usually get kidnapped by the bad guy.
3) You spend big chunks of a game without a healer!! fffffuuu

I'm playing one of the Tales games at the moment where that happened. It's very frustrating. Then of course in FFIX you effectively lose Dagger for a chunk of it (and no Eiko is not an acceptable replacement). FFX, same thing with Yuna. Pretty sure at least one Star Ocean game pulled the same.

I guess one upside of the bro-fest that is FFXV means we won't have to worry about that.

Properly on topic: So I had my attention drawn to a shot of one of Noctis's swords and it was pointed out to me that it had a freaking motorcycle engine on it. This is, of course, ridiculous. But I guess they're taking the 'road trip' theme very seriously. If they are actually engines for some reason, and given that Cidney's a mechanic... perhaps an armourer as well?
