All Main Protagonist in Final Fantasy Games are Sword users

[Sharon]

It is a tradition, they should never break the tradition. The main protagonist should always be a swordsman/woman. Swords looks cool, imposing and empowering. It is the Final Fantasy signature that should continue for generations to come. I don't think Cloud Strife will be as popular if he is a boxer like Tifa or gun user like Barret. Do not try to fix what is not broken.

I want a double sword wielder as the next protagonist! All of them use a single sword only so a double sword user will be interesting because it's a refreshing combat mechanic. I am not really a fan of the oversized swords we are having the last few games.


Or maybe we can go futuristic and have a lightsaber. The neon light swords will look very flashy in modern graphics.

And now we have Joshua who looks like the rejected 6th member of Final Fantasy XV boyband.

As it should be because every single game have a signature sword to represent the hero.

Also most of them are young from teenage years to early 20s. I never seen a main character over 30.

It is just tradition that they want to follow, I mean Yuna is not a sword user in Final Fantasy 10 but in 10-2 she is.

Sword Users have this leader aura and they look cool

 

[Matt Williams]

Its a JRPG thing

Clive is a Swordsman too.

Its weird that even in the games with futuristic settings, they chose sword.
