In hot weather you may pant and briefly fan yourself with your hand, maybe wiping your brow periodically. It gives flavor and makes your character and the world seem more alive, you don't have to worry about trying to render it properly, and you don't have to worry about it looking overly tacky which I'm sure would be the fate of any blood spatter effects they added.

As for the people arguing back and forth about blood and gore: the Final Fantasy series has never been known for a lot of blood and gore no matter how fantastic the battles get. There are a few occasions where they has been bits of blood or what one might consider to be gore, but those are exceptionally rare occurrences and it's highly unlikely that we'll ever see a FF game that showcases realistic violence.
