* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series: ''any'' of the main male characters, at least once graphics became advanced enough to portray it; the official character art shows that the older ones actually were this, too, when not depicted with blocky, low-resolution sprites. Specifically:
** ''[[Final Fantasy I]]'': Warrior of Light, ''[[
** ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'': '''[[Draco in Leather Pants|Sephi]][[White-Haired Pretty Boy|roth]].''' In the original cut of the scene with Sephiroth frozen in crystalized Mako, he was to have feminine curves to allude back to Jenova. Things were scaled back there for the same reason Squall in ''VIII'' was made to look more masculine.
** Now, now, let's not forget our [[Memetic Sex God]] [http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7500000/Soldier-2nd-Class-Zack-zack-fair-7523031-1024-768.jpg Zack Fair].
Line 343:
** ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'': Penelo, in the in-game manual:

** ''[[
** If you look past the [[Half-Human Hybrid|non-human]] features, Seymour from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' can fit the bill as well.
** [[Tetsuya Nomura]], the designer for many of these characters, is a real-life Bishonen (see his page picture). A [[Older Than They Look|40-year old]] Bishonen.
Line 363:
* ''[[Magna Carta]]: Tears of Blood'' kicks the Bishonen up to 11, making its main lead, Calintz, and his apprentice, Azel, almost entirely unrecognizable as male. Chris Arcway manages to dodge the bullet with his open button-up shirt and cocky womanizing attitude, but even Raul, the tall, masculine, goateed swordsman who appears a few times in the game, gets a touch of Bishie thanks to the artstyle (no matter how impossible it seems to be Bishie with a goatee).
* A few characters in the ''[[Disgaea]]'', including (but not limited to) Mid-boss, Seraph Lamington, Fukubei, Lord Bigstar, and {{spoiler|Tink.}}
** During the intro narration of ''[[Disgaea 4:
* {{spoiler|Mitsumoto}} and Abyss in ''Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns''.
* Ramirez from ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'' seems to rock the "pretty but misunderstood" vibe as hard as he possibly can. Enrique is pretty much his good counterpart. A number of recruitable crew members further the bishounen appeal, particularly {{spoiler|Lawrence}} and {{spoiler|Ilchymis}}.
