Yea... they are ridiculously more attractive than previous FF characters. Maybe it's just Akihiko Yoshida's aesthetics (to make them all look like pretty girls with the only differentiating factor being the body). I mean that pic with Vaan, Fran, and Ashe - who'll agree with me when I say that if Vaan had a female body, he'd be the prettiest in the game? But I still love Yoshida's artwork! even his Tactics people who don't have noses XD He makes me want to devote endless hours drawing Fran and Balthier. *hmmm slightly off-topic - sorry*
