Final Fantasy XV will feature an all-male cast, at least as far as main characters are concerned. This is apparently because it will make the game more approachable.

In an interview with GameSpot, Director Hajime Tabata said:

"Speaking honestly, an all-male party feels almost more approachable for players. Even the presence of one female in the group will change their behaviour, so that they'll act differently. So to give the most natural feeling, to make them feel sincere and honest, having them all the same gender made sense in that way"

He went on to say that the game will still feature some intimacy (such as the cast sharing tents), and that the team is trying to get a "boys will be boys" vibe, lifting the lid on what guys do when girls aren't around:

"The world might be ready to see the curtain lifted on what boys do when girls aren't around, when they come out of the tent all prim and proper. That's kind of the idea behind it… we think, male or female player, that everyone will feel a certain connection and bond with the four characters."
