Final Fantasy XV is 55% complete, will have absolutely no female playable characters

[A Black Falcon]

Oh, I was thinking of Final Fantasy III (NES). The remake on the DS made one of the characters female, but in the original Famicom game all four are male.

As for the new guy... Hard to say. I like Kingdom Hearts, but it's a fact that newer FF games have kinda... been very shallow in just about every sense (except that they think they're deep). This guy... Well I did love the story of Crisis Core. I think it was accomplished very well, but the gameplay... Well I didn't really feel like I was actually "in" the world.

Frankly, I think Squeenix needs bigger upsets than this to fix what's wrong with Final Fantasy. I feel like Bravely Default is where it's at now.

This game is definitely supposed to be different in gameplay from the FF13 trilogy, but will it be better or not? Who knows.
