Considering that 100% of the Japanese male gaming population are metrosexual or emo. It does not surprise me at all. Anyway female gamers cry at everything.

Yeah...that's why Dragon Quest IX is the best selling title of the year.

Final Fantasy stereotype much?

Since when are Dragon Quest characters manly? I mean, I don't see how DQ is a opposite of FF.

He's not saying they are, he's saying the game has a diverse audience.  Kids play it, otaku play it, salarymen play it, housewives play it, seniors play it... Dragon Quest is an "everyone" game, like Super Mario.

I know Final Fantasy doesn't have as wide appeal as Dragon Quest in Japan, but it's still a monumental game.

Final Fantasy is widely popular in Japan, the #2 most popular RPG there.  And we're not picking on it.  We were just using Dragon Quest as an example to prove someone elses stupid (stereotypical) statement wrong.
