It's a Japanese game in an anime style. That's about all I need to say, I think.Souplex post=9.70852.706310 said:
Hm... female character... I like most of the female main characters in Final Fantasy VI. I could get into a whole thing about how they represent the classic roles that females play in their lifetime in an almost mythological way... but I won't. Suffice to say that none of them are too stereotypical in video game terms.
Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark
Alyx Vance would be second, but thats only because shes not a red head like Joanna
Does it ever bother any of you that if these ladies were real they probably kick our asses before we could even say "Hi, my name is..". That may be the reason why I'm glad there just video game characters.

I'd say Alyx Vance for sure but let me throw out Lara Croft as well, I know as the games went on she mutated into some late 90's horror story but the first iteration (tomb raider 1 & 2) she had just the right amount of sass while the sequels just turned her into a bimbo. Compare the promo shots for Tomb Raider 1 where the focus is on her dual wielded Browning pistols to Tomb Raider 3 where the focus is on her plunging neckline.
Toby Gard who invented Lara Croft got kicked off the Tomb Raider team half way through TR2 as he continually objected to the hyper sexual representation of Lara as it was destroying her image. He was right, and after Core design when bankrupt after the 6th TR game, the American team who took over hired Tomb Gard right away and has been creative director from Legends onwards.

Well, yeah, she was the main character and did some over the top action scenes, but if you remember, she was also sort of shy. She wasn't all like "yeah, we're gonna kick some ass! I'm gonna respond violently to the attention of every man because I'm a bad-ass, yeah!" But at the same time she wasn't a helpless, mindless moron like Zelda or Peach or every other female character who isn't a bad-ass action girl.Amnestic post=9.70852.706183 said:
Besides, she's hot, and that's enough for me.
Alyx, Half-life 2.
Her expressions were so human, i actually cared about what happened to her. Not on like a realistic level, but she easily takes the cake.

I know some of you are thinking, "But she's annoying as hell!" Give her time. You'll see why.

She talks in Brawl when she's in the Zero Suit, although she sounds a bit... well, you know.TheGreenManalishi post=9.70852.706261 said:
I'm fond of any female character that doesn't have breasts larger then her face and isn't A. A panty dropping whore or B. A pyschotic sadistic evil ball crushing hoe-beast thats the poster child for militant feminism or C. A complete ditz or loony
So:
Bastila Chan - Knights of the Old Republic
Alyx Vance - Halflife 2
Jade - Beyond Good and Evil
Amatsaru - Okami YES I MEAN THE DOG
Lara Croft - Tomb Raider: Legend, and in none of her other games. Ever.
Ginchiyo Tachibana - Samurai Warriors 2

I don't recall the name of that one girl in Hot Coffee... :V
But, to be serious, Samus Aran. Definitely.

I'm going to have to go with Terra Branford from FFVI. Not your typical girly-girl, has a deep story, is arguably a standout character in the cast.
