Tifa should have used her breasts instead of her boxing gloves. Seriously, did that appeal to anyone? I go both ways myself and it did nothing for me except give me the giggles.

I think the bodies are as realistic as they're going to get for video games. We're a shallow society-- people want to play good-looking heros and heroines. Some of us (like me) would probably have more respect for an average-looking character (Heather from Silent Hill 3, for example), but it's not gonna happen.

As for the men in FF's, there are way more unnattractive (fat, scrawny, old, etc.) males than females. It seems the character designers slacked off with male looks after they injected all the attractiveness into the leading man (with the exception of FF8).

It goes along with my theory that there are more attractive women in the world than attractive men, though-- that's another story and will be told another time.
