Aight okay, before some of you start going "ooh, this thread gonna be racist" or some shit like that, stop! Seriously, stop!
I just felt the need to point out that black guy in the game, and that this is the most revolutionary thing to happen to Final Fantasy, or any SE title for that matter. Real authentic dark black guy, afro and facial hair, not some tan guy with braids. And who said that this is a JRPG. | |

Didn't the creator say that this game WASN'T a JRPG? Maybe he was saying that because there's a black dude in it. Harhar.

Sazh is an awesome character.
According to an interview, they crafted him with Eddie Murphy in mind... Family-movie Eddie Murphy, not Eddie-Murphy-when-he-was-funny Eddie Murphy. -------------------  How to snag a lady: With sleepy drink. | |

Squeenix picked the wrong Eddie Murphy. A character based off Eddie-Murphy-when-he-was-funny Eddie Murphy would be awesome <3
There have been black guys in Final Fantasy though. It's not exactly new. XP ------------------- | |

Sahz is fairly cool. I wish his voice actor was a little... higher though. The deep black voice doesn't suit him.

Oh come now. I think the Japanese have taken a big step with the black people of a game. At least he doesn't look like this.

Yeah, that's taking things too far. Black people ain't actually black--I guess some are slow on the uptake.

quote DarknetLol, that made me giggle... I use to watch DBZ all the time and never realized he was suppose to be "the black person" of DBZ (I grew up in a very non-racial home) -------------------

I'm just sorta glad they decided to give Sazh a serious voice rather than a goofy voice, even if he does sound a little too gangster.

Hah, the Cole Train of FF. I've never played FFVII, but I have seen AC and played Dirge of Cerberus, so I haven't seen much of him. And as far as I can remember, he was light skinned and had corn rolls.

To share our love for Sazh. For even though he has an afro, he's actually a pretty cool black dude.
See, I'm Australian. Our black people are completely different. And not as cool. ------------------- How to snag a lady: With sleepy drink. | |
