East Asians have white skin color. Central Asians do as well. Besides, Yuffie and Rinoa have an undertone I associate with East Asians.Originally Posted by Spuuky
I mean, 99% of white people you asked would definitely say they are white. Probably due to their white skin color, mostly.Never knew Yuffie, Rinoa, and Yuna were white.

Some of them have light skin tones, but the skin color of FF characters in general is a lot closer to the European form of light skin than the Japanese form of it. Yuna and Yuffie are the most-Asian in features of any characters in any of the games, though, yes.
To be fair, Yuffie has a pale olive color. But really though all Asians(from Middle Easterners to South Asians to Northeast Asians) have always worshiped porcelain, ivory skin tone, even before they met white European people. It shows high value and high class. The workers had dark skin color. For instance, compare the upper class Indians to the lower caste ones and there is a huge difference in skin color.
Neil Nitin Mukesh is an example of an upper caste Indian.

And here is a lower caste Indian:

Of course their skin is going to be extremely pale. It's idealized in all of Asia. But I have seen many East Asian women with extremely fair skin. Many even whiter than Europeans.

Eh, I get the feeling Prompto is supposed to have stereotypically "white" features: blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, freckles, but it could just be me being a white guy so
You're a man Laddy? I always thought you were a woman? Mind blown!
I mostly assumed because of the Brotherhood episodes and then sometimes in games and anime they still claim people as 100% Japanese with those features like Naruto.
NOT the first time that's happened to you, eh?
That's literally the origin of the screen name; everyone thinks I'm a girl online. xD
It's not just you, Laddy. Apparently I get that a lot too XD
Why would anyone ever assume people are girls online? Obviously everyone online is a dude.

Prompto in Versus looked like a Korean pop dude with dyed blonde hair and colored contacts. He looks more westernized now but XV isn't really a good example to judge.

One thing I did notice about ethnicity is in FFX characters have notably more Asian features during FMVs than their in game models do.
Well, FMV's look more realistic.

I have been watching anime and reading manga for as I long as I can remember and I have personally never seen anime characters as white. Then again though, I am not white myself so I don't know.

I've seen this before and while there's some truth there, it's also pretty easy some flaws.
For instance, people think Marge is white because she, and her family who are the same color as her, live in a community with people who are not white (and are represented by other skin tones) and speak with an accent and lexicon associated with white people. This is an extremely justifiable belief and runs very counter to the example they want to present.
The "foreigners" are clearly marked in anime (sometimes) by blonde hair, long noses, etc - but they have the same skin tone as the "Japanese" characters. This is pretty compelling evidence to see the "Japanese" characters as also being white, or at least drawn to look like white people.
