    FFII had Leon and Guy, FFIV Yang, Cid, Fusoya and Tellah and FFV Galuf (they do have the unfortunate trend of.. not being there at the end of the game, I'll give you that)

    In 7 only Cid and Barret are more "traditionally manly" looking.
    The rest are Cloud, Vincent, Cait Sith and Red XIII. One is a furry and even Cait Sith couldn't be said to be the standard androgynous pretty boy since his owner is Reeve.

    XV falls right back into the usual.
    Well, Gladio is just one exception still, but I wish FFXIV even had that.

    My point isn't that there shouldn't be more rugged men in XIV's main cast but that the current lack of variety is to be expected. I definitely got tired of the pretty boy tendecies of the series so the poster Warrior of Light and the dude from XVI are great examples of what would be welcome. Just want to set this straight before I'm lumped with anyone labeled as "white knight".
    Oh no worries, I get your point. I just think it's not all that bad and even when compared to the rest of the series, FFXIV could improve.
