    Eh, like I said (or tried to say, I don't know) it's all in good fun. Vaan can go ahead and be feminine, as long as he's a well-developed and interesting guy, who I come to care about.

    I won't even start talking about the Squall/Gackt thing. *shudder* Gackt....there are many fangirls at my school. =D Huh.

    Your welcome. He actually reminds me a bit of an FFT archer. BTW, do you think anyone would be arguing about this if Vaan just put a shirt on?

    I think he is feminine indeed, but I also think that those japanese boys who are really beautiful may look feminine to the western eye as well.
    To me it's not a problem at all. I like that. Also I think he looks like that because he' very young. If you want to know, I also find Cloud from Advent Children pretty feminine indeed. Would anyone say he's not hot because of that?

    Squall was indeed modeled after Gackt. It's been written in press releases and everything, and the developers have even mentioned it.



    Tidus was also modeled after Gackt from what I hear, but I never heard that stated by developers, like Squall. I think it's true though, because I remember reading in a magazine before they were talking about Squall and Tidus structure simularities. Then there's this picture from a site I saw long ago that discussed it:



    Anyway, pretty boys aren't really my taste, but Ashley is correct. Pretty boys (or "Bishonen") are preferable and looked at as most attractive in Japanese socitey. If you watch anime, you'll notice that most of the guys that are popular or whatever will have the bishi complex. In just about every case I can think of in anime where all the girls were swooning over some 'hunk', he had the bishi complex (Motoki, Mamoru, The Three Lights, every other guy in Sailor Moon). Of course, you do have you're manly men (reffered to as "Bara" as pretty boys are "Bishonen"), like say, Jet Black, but they never end up being the ones all the chicks are after...it's always the bishis.

    So it makes perfect sense that FF main heroes tend to have that prettyness to them. As graphics grow more and more superior, the look gets closer to life, thus they get more idealy pretty I guess. That's not to say all FF guys are like this though. There's always the non bishi heroes (Barret, Cid, Amarant, Wakka, Auron, the brown haired guy in this game, ect.), they just never seen to be the main character.

    Personally though, I don't care how the main character looks (like Necro stated, he doesn't even begin to rival Kuja in girliness). Especially when there's that masculine brown-haired dude to make up for it.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Well said. Your name now stands for Dude May Kiss Ashley. Huzzah! xD

    I'd like to find a picture of the girl they modeled Rinoa after. I've seen it before, and the similarities are very striking. As for Tidus, I never heard of the Gackt thing, but he does resemble him, save for his smile and all (Gackt doesnt seem to smile much). I do remember reading something about the character models, but I cant remember.

    And, as for the bishonen thing, that's all very true. Pretty much every anime I've even seen has a bishonen guy, usually as the lead male. Slim, attractive, and often feminine (and really, does it get any more feminine than the Three Lights xD?).

    How is Vaan "another Tidus"? Or anything like Tidus for that matter?

    (Just for everyone who didn't know, Tidus is not blonde, he just bleaches....seriously, go back and watch the scenes of him as a child, and in certain cinematics, mainly "The Last Chapter", look closely...you can see that it's about time for him to do his roots.)
