My wife enjoyed playing Final Fantasy VI when I got her to play it. Granted she didn't play it before me, but still.. also I used to live with a girl who was a gamer of her own accord and she likes FF too. So I don't think it's quite the phenomenon that one may think.
Now when I met a girl who played Warhammer (NO BF/Husband) thats when I got scared.
