Funny that, because I quite literally didn't bother looking further into the game, because its main character looked like another run-of-the-mill meat-head. Most games with 'run-of-the-mill meat-heads' seem to irritate me, so I tend to avoid them like the plague.
Japanese Nier Hero was "Too Girly" for Americans

The entire cast of DRAGON AGE wants to speak to you.Dark Templar said:
Also, if you have to make an emotionally tortured character, James Sunderland or MGS4 Raiden
I actually felt for them. FF7 to FF-whatever, I hope they drop dead
Wow. when did gamers become so homophobic? 'He looks like a girl!'. Sheesh. Grow the heck up. And the irony is that these people only want the 'manly man' because of how big they imagine his **** to be.
Actually the attitude makes me laugh. Some slender long-hair weilding a giant sword is apparently 'gey', despite his penchant for girls that the critics cream over. Yet some muscle-bound meat head from a bullet bro-mance, with both hands on his (man)canon is 'AWWWWWWWESOME!'.

Basically it is them saying they aren't obsessed about gender by... being obsessed over gender. It is why I avoid these titles and studios altogether.archvile93 said:

OT: I think this could be perceived as rather patronising. I suppose their hearts are sort of in the right place, though it is a shame they went from one stereotype to another.
I'm not. I have the same problems with Marcus Fenix types. Even with females.UberNoodle said:
Once again, I want/need/demand more everyman types.
Regular people in amazing situations.
That doesn't surprise me. I don't like Anime games, most of the characters look like children and I would feel like I am 15 if I played them. No thanks.
I do like Animes..there are some really good ones out there. Keep the Animes on television not in games.

Don't bunch Anime's together. Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist looks pretty normal, as does Alucard from Hellsing (A stylized Steven Tyler?). It's the mainstream ones that have the girly types
It understandable in a commercial standpoint. We gave developer a hard time for each Girly man in video game. While Final Fantasy got a free pass because of the franchise or Metal Gear Solid 2 that is considered the HIGHLANDER THE QUICKENING of the franchise. I'm not the first one to say that, (and if you don't believe me ask MOVIEBOB.) Video Game come from (in majority) from Japan. There, women consider Raiden of Cloud more attractive than Solid Snake and Barret. We take video game for granted and don't really care about what it is, if we can't dream to be like the Hero. We WANT to be Snake and not Raiden! Well, Metal Gear is a special case, so that another thread all together.Andy Chalk said:
Raiden had a VERY VERY good reason for being angsty. He was being played with, a puppet
But Final Fantasy characters... urgh!
Personally, I'd love to be like Raiden, he's the ultimate survivor alongside SNAKE!

In this age of multiple costumes and models (not to mention systems with gobs of storage space) why not just give us the choice and save themselves the boring marketing meeting? For that matter, give us both genders, so you play as Yonah's buff mom/angsty big sister?
I don't know about anyone else, but I had a bigger problem with the costumes, and changed to the (very slightly more practical) samurai ones as soon as I unlocked them in the DLC...
