#1 You don't know that that isn't the Aribter, it could be. You can't say because they died, because we know that Sergeant Johnson survived.
#2 The list is fairly accurate. Although Dante is more metrosexual than gay and you could easily fill a top ten list with nothing but Final Fantasy characters.
#3 It is absurd that Ryo is not on the list considering he spent the entire first game looking for sailors in bars and most of the second game handcuffed to his shirtless boyfriend.
