    Final Fantasy XIII: Now With Rediculous Looking Black Man

    "Oh You Mad Cuz I'm Stylin' On Ya?"

    According to weekly Famitsu and thanks to Majed Athab (ps3fanboy), we have finally done it SquareEnix! I thought ridiculous looking black men created by japanese art designers reached their apex with Barrett Wallace. Tetsuya Nomura is known in the JRPG world for creating ridiculous looking white, asian and I guess even a Samoan character with funny looking hairdos. Meet Sazh Kalzroy...according to Majed:

    So far, we know a few things about Sazh. He likes the color green, wields two pistol-like weapons and has a soft spot for Chocobos.

    Hey...i know its video game, let alone an RPG, but shouldn't we have a games industry version of a Sidney Poitier? Someone to let designers know: "Hey...this isn't racist or anything it's just really ridiculous looking.  Why not give him a normal hairstyle and a big ass chain so us blacks can support a character we relate to more."

    Yeah...I'm pretty sure Sidney Poitier would say it just like that...

    word for word.

    First of all, spell ridiculous correctly in the title. And second? This black guy is totally awesome! He's way more awesome than the androgenous crap JRPG makers have been spewing out their ass for years.

    I refuse to correct errors. Everyone on the internet has 'a thing' and that's mine.

    Secondly, I take it you are a big fan of The Fifth Element?

    When did Black people start playing RPGs?

    wait a second...what are the great deal with the black men? are racist or what? it's true that looks ridiculous but that not a reason to call him like this, is a kind insulting, I don't like to want to use but is the best option in these cases, anyway please black is already denigrated in video games.
