    BAHAHAHA, yes like that is totally comparable. Also if you want to bring IRL into this, there actually is an International Men's Day (as there is Women's), mainly celebrated in South America.

    they have one may 5th called Feast of banners but in recent years it was changed to a more including "childrens day" title. It is a holiday where you decorate your home with armor and samurai dolls rather than the porcelain dolls and decorations of Girls Day

    In Japan on May the 5th there is a holiday for boys it's called こどもの日 (Children's Day) - This national holiday was established in 1948, as a day on which to esteem the personalities of children and plan for their happiness. It is on this day that the Japanese equivalent of the Dragon Boat Festival (端午の節句 Tango no Sekku?) is held. On this day, and for some time before it, families who have a boy in their home may fly koinobori and decorate their homes with armor or samurai dolls. Children's Day marks the end of Golden Week.

    Yeap that's correct I live in Japan I thinks it's cool that V day is two different days in Japan. Also Japan is one of the main country's that has a lot of national holidays. The Fact is this game is made by a Japanese company they are always gonna make sure that they cater to the Japanese market. Since that is like the main country that they want this game to be successful in. Once they have that market down then they will make sure that they cater two there second market which is the western market. No matter what FF game it is this thought process in Japan will never change.

    I think men are sexualized in a feminine-ish manner far more often in this game than other games we may be used to (western). We're used to men being subjected to the physical hulk powerhouse or amalgamation average joe (Shepard, Nathan) - imo. My wife who does not play any video games, generally, has noticed this as well. Not that it lacks in options for the classic stereotype either, they just have both instead :P.

    Luckily there is glamour if you're really bothered by it, unless it is the visual aspect altogether - then you're SOL and have to deal with it (Bikini and seasonal armor still annoys me, though not because they exist but that they are functional as dungeon gear lol).

    As mentioned already though, Little Ladies Day is just a holiday for females unrelated to gear variety (imo).

    Too feminine? Look at the player base there a lot of female characters which a lot are played by males. I would agree with some other post that your nephews have some masculinity issues.

    Basically your nephews need to get over themselves and not base their opinions on an entire game on a single yearly event.
