I'm completely unsure of how to react to the idea that FFXV was made an all male cast to make it a group of friends that're "more approachable" and act completely naturally around each other.

My first reaction was anger, at the implication that men and women inherently don't act naturally around each other... but then I realized Japanese culture is different and has very specific expectations for people and how you act around certain kinds of people. So I guess it could be a lost in translation issue, with differing cultural values.

Just... gweh.

I think it's just another merry band of guy pals hanging around.

Don't be mad cause you can't play as any waifu, Mew. :asia:

Yeah but why can't there be a girl or two with them who's being merry and jovial and... "natural"?

Dont get why people are complaining about stuff like that. Don't see how having a girl in the group would make the game any different. You're only going to control Noctis anyway.

*Obligatory "no one would truly care if it was a fully female cast"*

Although if it was a fully female cast with girls like FF15 Cid....well I certainly would not mind. :sly:
The important thing is that the FF15 male cast looks lame and has no worthy husbando.

"Cut for Zayn"

FFS it's not that serious. This is just offensive, stop that right now.

Can't stand these petty teenage girls.

Well they're obviously going for the narrative in the game as well, so they're focusing on the story and character development/interaction as much as they are gameplay. Thus who the characters are and such actually kinda matters here. Yeah you only play as Noctis, but he's still going to be around his "party"/group of pals the most, so who they are definitely matters.

Oh well, not the first time SE has fudged the party I guess. Lulu should've been in X-2, Larsa should've been permanent in XII, etc.

They didn't fudge anything. They're going for a certain narrative by having a male only party cast.

And that's fine.

Yes but that narrative doesn't make sense as you can easily have a girl be a "bro" just as much as any guy.

AGAIN, maybe this is because of differing cultural expectations, which in such a case I can respect it. But otherwise it just smells freakin' fishy.

Lulu went home to be a family man, don't see how she should of been in X-2. I agree with Larsa though.

Doesn't really matter, they decided to give us a story about a gang of guys. There's nothing wrong with that.

I just don't like LuluXWakka... probably because I don't like Wakka. :asia:

Don't like Wakka.. Racist!

If people want a merry party that isn't all guys, go play Chrono Trigger. You get 1 guy, 3 girls, a robot and a frog.
