I was going to say that’s the stupid kid thing right? Played that for like 10 minutes, nope

if you look at the art for the humans in tactics, it’s very much largely the effeminate anime, which to be fair is also iconic to 7 and part of what made the franchise popular in the US (triggering anime weebo obsession), but its hard to back and look at the majority of soft looking men models, and not see that weird desire for a childlike little petite features aesthetic (no noses etc), as a opposed to something with rougher more rugged manly bravado. I’m not surprised they went in that kid direction

That's always been Amano's style, but you couldn't really see it in earlier games due to graphical limitations

Yeah and it’s on the lady boy/twink end of the “pretty boy” aesthetic, how many squared off jaws do you see in the average anime, yeah they’ll have 1 or 2 strongman types but its a sea of v chinned men. It’s like men staring into the mirror more than they should, as opposed to doing something physical and dangerous, comes with the T and the T has been on the wane, in the West and Japan, maybe it’s the soy, maybe the plastic, maybe civilization itself….anyway this is an indictment if anime itself more than just FFT, I did like the art when I was a kid
