Barret is not black!
so i was checking my characters in the game menu and i noticed barrets in-game portrait, and he actually looks like a dark skinned asian guy, not black.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/a/ac/Barret_PortraitNB.png/revision/latest?cb=20130203032221

notice how he has straight hair, slanted eyes, a small-ish pointed nose, and his head shape looks more asian-ish.

it makes sense that he would actually be asian instead of black, since the game is japanese. but i wonder why they straight up made him a black guy in the every other portrayal of him after ff7? what do you think?

I'm not salty, I just think that you're really dumb for thinking that much into it.
there's a reason why they made him black in every game/movie/whatever he's been in after ff7

it's because he's black
put two and two together man, it's literally fucking canon
man I can't tell if this is a troll post or not. I really hope it is because I would hate to see someone be this much of a retard

cause that's my job

See it for yourself the dialog between Barret and Cloud ;-)

The dialog between Yuffie and Cloud was also very good slap in the face

Why not both? Blackasian?
since when did the nationality of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video game character become important anyway

At the time the team was highly influenced by the A-Team. Barrett is pretty much designed after Mr.T.

its not nationality , its their skin color/race.
its not fair to have a character, who is originally a certain race, be changed to a completely different one, due to ignorance or some other insidious marketing scheme.
its obvious that the original barrett for ff7 is a dark skinned asian.
