The Definition of "Handsome"

[aveyond-dreams]

I think male characters that look pretty, soft, or elegant are nice. I enjoy the kpop aesthetic personally. But I'm also down to see more masculine looking male characters as well. Variety is good.

That being said, there are plenty of masculine looking characters in the game already. Thancred, Hien, Cid, Ardbert, and Edmont to name a few.

Thank you for listing off a bunch of characters that have either been relegated to complete irrelevancy and no longer form a part of the main cast. The only men we have now are Estinien aka Alphinaud 2.0 complete with a ridiculous ponytail/preachy dialogue and Vrtra the uncanny KPOP idol. Neither of these two fill the niche that a Thancred or Hien do, though Hien is a better example of what I'd like to see given he doesn't have the weak neck most midlanders have.

As for Thancred - who was blessed with a nice looking goatee back in Heavensward, reverted to boy form upon being shaven. And for what? The dude is allegedly in his 30s yet the first time I saw him I immediately assumed he was a teenager. He looked more like his age with the facial hair, but now he's taken a step backwards.

So wait....did you Mentally Erase everything you knew about Thancred, all because he shaved?
My goodness, are you ok dude?

It beggars belief that you think that a person has to "look their age". I turn 61 this year and am still taken for a man in his 30's.

Seriously, mate, Ive met 80 year olds that look 40. Where HAVE you been?

I don't really think Cid has been relegated to complete irrelevancy. I think Thancred and Estinien are pretty masculine too, even though you disagree. Like I said, it's not like I'm against the addition of more masculine characters into the main cast.
