I'm still a bit weirded out by the style in general, but yeah, that's a good point.

It's the same thing when you have tons of male actors with acne scarred skin but God beware if a woman has anything more than a few beauty marks, freckles or a decorative, cute little scar. I hate it.

I notice this in so many things. Men have creases on their foreheads, wrinkles, scars, blemishes, all kinds of signs that they are older than 15, while the women all have perfect, porcelain-doll skin. So annoying.

That being a general media thing bugs me. I want some older ladies, and also characters who aren't so generically pretty either :U

... oh crap. hadn't noticed. uuuuuugggggghhhh.

Could the women be wearing make-up to cover any hypothetical blemishes and wrinkles...?

this is what i was thinking

While that could be an excuse makeup still only covers so much and not all women wear makeup (especially if we're talking a fantasy/fighting setting) so I'm inclined to agree with OP that it's bothersome.

The animated Beowulf had much the same thing going on: the men were hyper-realistic, which only accentuated the way they'd chosen to make the women flawless plastic dolls. It was extremely jarring.

Did I make this in my sleep?
I thought the exact same thing when I saw that picture the first time

Yeah...I mean they don't even have pores, everyone has fucking pores ok WE ARE NOT PLASTIC

I find it ridiculous that there are only two women. Even for Final Fantasy, that's an impressive amount of pretty boys.

[Picture is the cast from the upcoming videogame "Final Fantasy XV" (formerly known as "Final Fantasy Versus XIII").]

I hate how the women have perfect skin [arrow pointing at a green-eyed and black-haired woman] but everyone gets blemishes and stuff. What the fuck?

whoa I hadn't seen them all lined up like that before. The women stick out like sore thumbs.

Ugh that is a problem. I just hate the style too, it's very uncanny valley.

That tends to be the case for female characters, unfortunately.

This is probably out of place, but I just want to say that this is why I love Fang from FF13. While the scars on her arm aren't very noticeable and she should have way more, the fact that they're there at all is a huge thing. I wish FF13 starred Fang and Vanille instead and took place during the war.

Sliightly offtopic but I hear a lot of people commenting on and not liking FFXV's style so far. I don't think it's terrible, but I'm willing to forgive it because the gameplay looks fun.

Unashamedly this is why I'm so excited to get a PS4, moreso than Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 etc.

While I really appreciate how rugged the males look, I get the problems with the female characters. You can have maybe one woman who is super-flawless, but only if she's somehow supernatural. Otherwise, while I have no problem with women who fight in make-up and high heels, the super-perfection is too much.

That said, am I the only one who thinks the whole cast looks incredibly bland? Of course everyone is white, but that's typical of Final Fantasy (never mind that it's made by a Japanese company! And even Japanese gamers are complaining about that!) I'm more annoyed that everyone is human (again) and that they're wearing all black or drab colors. The whole world of the game looks bland and colorless. That's not what I want to see in a Final Fantasy game. I hope they come up with something better.

My first thought looking at this image (whatever it is) is, why aren't any of the women middle-aged or older, when many of the men are?

Holy shit, agreed so hard. That was the first thing I noticed when I saw that picture. It's depressing.

It looks like someone took a belt sander to the ladies' faces to make them porcelain smooth. Ick.

And I hate how the young ones are all the typical FF Eurasian barbie doll style. Granted I'm a longtime hater of that "beauty trend". Looks like a bunch of asians who got nose jobs, chin implants, eyelid tucks, big color contacts...etc etc. It's always been disturbing so to me because it screams racial inferiority complex. I swear I'm not a troll. That's how I honestly feel about that.

That aside, I'll still probably play the game though.

Because women always find the time to exfoliate, even while saving the world.
