Why does FF have so many blond main characters?

[LIGHTNING_71013]

they were about to make Lightning with blond hair but they changed their original idea made it pink. i think pink hair is more unique cause no one had it in previous FF? rite? or did i missed out on someone...anyway.. so i see they've decided to make serah, and vanille have pink hair too.

here check it out.Lightning (Final Fantasy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was Lenna from FFV. Rosa from FFIV had slightly pinkish blonde hair in the DS-remake.

A funny thing about Amano's character designs back in the good ol' FFI-VI games is that he hardly ever drew characters with black or even brown hair. Pretty much all were white/gray/blonde. The only characters I remember having brown hair in his work are Palom and Porom. Rydia and Gau had green hair, but Gau's hair was turned blonde for his sprite while Terra had the exact opposite done to her.

But I wanted to say something.
I'm tired and bored of seeing characters with only blue/green eyes and blonde/pink hair. Why not black and Brown hair and eyed for a change? I only recall Tifa, Squall and Garnet having them. Also, big eyes aren't an 'American' trait. They are associated with Middle Eastern and Southern Asian people. I'm not bothered about skin colour either because some characters do have tan skin but what mostly bothers me is the eyes. Much rather see black, purple, red, yellow eyes more often. Blonde hair and blue eyes aren't 'unique'. Got nothing against them because if you go to the Middle East or Turkey you'll see plenty of different coloured eyes. No, I'm not from the Middle East.
I want to post this somewhere Tetsuya Nomura can see.
That's all.

Didn't Amano mention that he adored blonde hair ? If you look at most of his artwork all of the characters seem to be blonde; even characters like Squall and Rinoa.

He was blonde hair crazy.

Well that's just great isn't it? Even Kefka has blonde hair! I just realised that Squall has blue eyes too. But in actuality only Rinoa, Tifa, princess Garnet and Yuffie have black hair and brown eyes? Not enough diversity. I don't mind the silver hair though because no one actually has that in real life but now more and more characters have it.
