| Vikki said: So, I've read through the thread since I last posted and there have been many good arguments put forward. But one kinda bugs me, the one about cliches. I don't see how a feminine man running about with a huge sword is any less acceptable than a big ass muscley space marine in power arming cutting people up with his gun/chainsaw combo. But both have the right to exist. I just want people to get over the androgynous characters. |
There should be variety. But, what you describe sounds like Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines and Gears of War and not many other games really. Most first person games you rarely see the main character so it leaves a player to imagine almost anything they want. I do not have a problem with some androgeny it is just practically every JRPG really uses a lot of feminine males. I used to love JRPGs when the graphics did not give away the over abundance of feminine males (NES -PS1 era) , but after that the graphics make the andorgeny in almost every male super apperent, and I stopped buying. I suppose I care as I wiould like to play unique Japanese games, but not ones the constant banal anime look.
