I like how some people are attacking those who have a different opinion about what they prefer with Final Fantasy games.  Most of it is just contrived rationalizations, too.

"I like more diversity with the cast and a larger pool of party members."
"No!  How dare you?  You're wrong to want that!"

What in the name of all things furry and soft gives you the right to decide what I like in a videogame?  Climb down off your high horse.

The cast for this game leaves me uninterested.  Why that hurts of the feelings of anyone to the point that they feel the need to lash out, I don't understand.

You're keen on these guys?  Good for you.

Truuuuuuu dat xD

I think the bigger issue here is that FFX-2 was shit...

I'm just glad the devs weren't forced to shoe horn some women in the game just to appease a certain group of people.

To me I don't ever care about the cast of characters in a game just by looks. It's juding a book by it's cover which has always been dumb IMO. I want devs to make games the way they feel they should and I dont' want anyone interrupting or changing their visions for their game. They're the artist and should be the ones in full control of how it's made. Imagine if Da Vinci had a group of board memebers telling him how to paint his paitnings so that more people will like it? All I care about is that when I play the game I enjoy it. If I enjoy it with a cast of all men/women/a mix of both then great really doesn't matter to me either way.

I imagine they'll blast it for getting good reviews across the board. Except for Polygon which will dock massive points because of the all male cast.

Good for you.  It's awesome that you don't care about the cast and that you've never looked at the characters in a game and decided that they do or do not interest you.  That's amazing.  I don't actually believe you, of course, about not judging books by their covers, as everyone has done that when deciding what media to buy, but that's neither here nor there.

The point is, characters are important to me.  You don't have to like that.  Honestly, I don't even know why you care.

Also, where did I say anything about changing the game?  Developers have a right to make the game they want and I have the right to be interested or not interested.  Don't you think?

Well, Fran can walk in front of me all day....opps I meant get in my way all she wants. 

Both of those could be interpreted the same way...

The only reason I'm saying anything at all in this thread is because people are attacking anyone who doesn't care for the direction of the game.  If it was a group of five females in matching hipster clothes, I'd say the same.
