Final Fantasy VII: Remake (Discussion and Speculation)

Long hair or not, Sephiroth still looked distinctively masculine. The same cannot be said for more recent *cough*Vaan*cough* characters.

Oh, you mean the old character designer for FFVII, who was... NOMURA (and if you mean Amano, then you have no reason to complain about blurring gender-lines)! And Vaan wasn't designed by Nomura, nor has any main FF character been since FFX.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hey, I wasn't knocking Amano; hell, the man's my favorite artist. It's just that I can't see how someone can accuse Nomura of drawing girly and then praise Amano for not doing so. As for Nomura, I'd worry less about the masculinity of his heroes and more about why in the hell he was allowed to get away with Nooj.

Edit: As well as why he gets away with retarded names like Nooj, but that might be the writer's fault.

How ya doing, buddy?
