Different Races
I'd kinda wish they'd have more of a variety in races within the FF games. lol.
When was the last time we seen a black guy in an FF game...in the main party? Kiros (FFVIII) and Barrett (FFVII). That's about it.
I mean, yeah, they have things like the Viera and the Ronso...but I've never seen an Asian or a Hispanic in these games. lmao. Just saying...
What do you think?

Reddas in FFXII was black ... wasn't he? :\ But I agree. More racial diversity would be a nice touch in future games.
EDIT:
Does Fran class as Black? That may sound stupid, but minus the ears and she's pretty much human, so I think she should somewhat count.

Lol Asian and Hispanic would be a cool addition. It would certainly be interesting to see what they can come up with as far as CG styles.

Well, Tidus, Yuna and Rikku all look Asian enough in FMVs, but yes, more racial diversaty would be nice, especially since the world in each game is meant to be huge and all that...

Well previously the animation was kind of too cartoonish to matter. Now that they've decided to make people look all realistic-like though, yeah they should probably throw in a few extra races to add to the realism. It's not something I usually think about when playing a game though.

I don't think about it either while playing the game, but, after awhile I start to realize there are not many different races in the game. Not even the NPC's. =/.

So now you want politically correct diversity in FF games? Well for one, they're Japanese games, they're not gonna try to slap in a bunch of ethnicities. And X did have azns in it, Tidus, Yuna and Rikku were definitely Japanese. IX had plenty of fantasy races, too. Aside from the moogles and Bermucians, there were all the furries in Alexandria, like Hippaul.
And while it wasn't a FF, Chrono Cross has a Mexican wrestler in it who kicked ass

No. He was a white crazy dude with mutton chops. I don't think a black man would be caught with those.

Kinda? If she is, she's only about as black as Beyonce.

I remember there being a few more races of NPCs in FFX, though my memory seems to be leaving me. Wasn't Gatta hispanic-looking? He kind of was to me, although his hair is bluish...
Tidus and Yuna definitely looked Asian in the FMVs, as well as Wakka. Their hair and skin tone didn't clue us off if they were actually Asian though, but I loved their looks. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more races, but really, it doesn't bother me that much. I guess in the Fantasy world, they have a different scheme of races than us in the world of Reality. 
Mmm, sexy username for this conversation.
