to us, us being of european descent, the main characters seem to be caucasian, but they are probably asian to asians and look asian.
i admit that they look white, but this could be SE making sure that the games sell outside of japan, as white people would have a lot more difficulty realting to asians as they would to white characters.
its just a theory though

I always figured it was a tan, since, you know...he was a pirate. And lived in the port town Balfonheim. Doubt he was black, at any rate. Latino, maybe, or islander.

This is kind of a "who cares" topic for me.
FF, and all other Square Enix games are Japanese. The Japs don't really have a multi-cultural country, so I bet that's why you don't see blacks, arabs or hispanics in there.
Anyway, putting something politically correct in there just for the sake of it is retarded, full stop.

It's a rather silly thing to ask of SE. The Japanese are pretty racist and view themselves as teh best race evar (their bizarre fetishes would say otherwise, though).
And personally, if I was black I wouldn't want to be put in a videogame, I'd probably end up being put in blackface. Just look to DBZ for how Japanese see black people:
I'm surprised he wasn't Kami's pancake bitch or something.

Yep only 4 black characters in FF-games: Barret,Kiros, Fran and Reddas. Fran is bunny-girl but she is so human looking that she can be counted as black. If she looked like this rabbit  then she wouldnīt be counted as black.
I really donīt care what race people in FF-games look like, I would like to see more fantasy races like lizardmen and cat-humanoids, although we had these both in FFXII but not as playable. |

i would like to see a more variety of races in the games as it would make the games more interesting, i started a thread to this similar the other in the FFXII section as the game has 5 races and you only have 2 in your party. it doesnt bother me too much but it would be more interesting to see a wider range of races and the races be included in the party as it could have an effect and variety of strengths, weaknesses, speeds between the characters in your party.

FFXII has more than 5 races. Humans, Viera,Seeq,Bangaa,Moogle,Nu Mou, those cat-looking guys around that Marquis Ondore guy, some other lizards and well technically all monsters, at least those in Necrohol of Nabudis and those little desert fish-dudes.
