I well understand the argument as to why the remade Final Fantasy characters seem so much more... feminine, I guess. I don't recall coming across the Final Fantasy IV concept artwork back in the day, but it was included in the "official strategy guide" or whatever for Final Fantasy VI. I thought it was bizarre back then, and it still seems strange now.
Put me in agreement with ItsaMii and mrstickball on this one. This is NOT at all how I imagined the characters in Final Fantasy IV looking. I have very fond memories of playing the game when it came out; I think it was in 1992. That's actually one of the great advantages of older games; the sprites weren't all that detailed, so you had to fill in the rest of the details with your imagination. I understand that Amano's vision of these characters doesn't reflect my own. But still... ugh. Next thing you'll tell me that we'll get a different translation, with no "spoony bard" references! :p
