| DerNebel said: There is no diversity in FF games characters, all of them are walking cookie cutter cliches that have persisted for over 10 years now and that's from someone that actually likes the games, you're building this link between race/gender and diversity here that simply doesn't exist in a FF game, that is diversity in nothing but the visual aspect, the character cliches used are still all the same. Example: Yuffie-Selfie-Rikku-Vanille are all essentially the same character, Cloud and Lighting are also the same freaking character, the gender change added no diversity at all. Also this whole melding together as a team thing is done in such a shallow way in past FF games that it's actually ridiculous to even try and make a point about it for this specific FF, that is even disregarding the very real possibility of there being more playable characters joining at later points in the game. |
What link between gender and diversity? When did I say the other characters would have to all be female? And what's wrong with physical diversity?
I'm going have to disagree with you. I look at FF9 and I see characters who are far different from one another. That creates contrast and conflict between characters. They have different backgrounds that shape how they interact with the world. Even FF10 had a good amount of diversity between characters. Are those character similar to characters from other games? Absolutely. Who cares, though, as those are different games.
