Yeah like I said in my first post I try to think of this as Versus rather than FFXV and so it's just not going to have the traditional cornerstones one would expect from the main FF series. The most important thing about the characters is not their gender but their personalities so hopefully SE writes them to be engaging. Hopefully we don't get something like:

1. Rebellious and reckless rich kid
2. Fun loving best friend
3. Mysterious quiet guy
4. Serious older mentor guy
