"Blobs of indistinguishable features" is certainly how you can describe pretty much every FF main character prior to PS1 hardware.

FFVI's cast was all clearly distinguishable from one another on the SNES. In fact, all of the characters in FFs on the SNES are clearly distinguishable from one another. Try again.
