I'm not playing a game to experience artistic form and beauty; I’m playing games to have fun. If said form and beauty interferes with my enjoyment of the game, then I can't say I approve.

Do I realistically think I think anything I say hear will affect SE in the least? Of course not. Where would you get that idea? I was asked for my wish list (see: opinion), and I gave it. Just because it's different than yours no need to get upset. You may well see a character as well rounded and developed, and I may regard the same character as a pansy. It's a mater of perspective, not right or wrong. (Hence me using pansy in quotation marks).

As for examples of why the heroes would be strong:
(SPOILER)I: Legendary Hero
IV: Son of Lunarian
V: Son of Warrior of Dawn
VI: Half Esper
VII: Subject to Janova and Mako experimentation
IX: Created as a genome with a soul to destroy Gaia
I would expect if a hero was amazingly strong for non lineage reasons they would most certainly have to have devoted most of their life to training, if they are just going to pick up a sword one day and be amazing there better be a good explanation behind it.


And on a side note, ultimately SE makes games to make money.
