I said male due to my own being male, as I generally enjoy playing characters of the same gender as myself. Hardly a requisite though.

i only gave one vote each on this poll so i dont know how anyone could vote twice.
i generally want a character to be good before i get choosy over gender, but i do prefer taking on a female role, hey what can i say, i like girls :)
I love both heroes and heroines, but I completely agree with you about the females being held back. Thank goodness they're getting better respect though (i.e. FFXII-Ashe uses a sword ^_^).Quote:

Imperia, i think it's a cultural thing (japanese), while the western world is more willing to not only accept but embrace a strong female lead who can kick butt. It's nothing new, the damsel in distress was a victorian invention while Celtic tribes were lead by warrior women.
I saw that some or most female characters are weaker than the males, or are used for background magics, such as the white mage in earlier FFs to be female. Female characters tend to be weaker, but faster :rolleyes2 Well, the only femmes I've seen strong are Orlha and maybe Tifa and sometimes a few others, but I would like to see some stronger femmes in games that aren't just there becuase of magic and such *Rinoa, Selphie, Quistis, Aerith, Garnet, Yuna, Eiko* or have weak physical attacks *Rikku*
Sorry in advanced if that made no sense
i get ya, you wanna see more female characters who are pyscially strong rather than relying on magic all the time, i agree
yeah, basically, gunblades
I prefer females because I am one. But I like any character who is well-developed. (and that includes villans.)
would you prefer to see a female whos dominated by magic or is skilled with blades and unarmed combat?
blades, simply to put it. Like the dark knight and knights in X-2...if more of then were running around, then i'd be more happy with games
i agree compleatly, i loved the DarkKnights in X2, even the chocobo knights who showed their butts off in X.
we all love ff here right?? so perhaps square knows their stuff, in every game (minus X-2 which i consider an emarrousment to the series) the hero was male. so i think males are the way to go.
now i do believe woman have their role in the stories.. strong roles not "whimpering madens"
That's debatable. Game 6 revolved around Terra and her connection between humans and espers, and Celes' quest to find everyone, in particular, Locke. Terra and Celes seem to have the main roles, but one could also make a case for Locke as the MC.Quote:

well you could assume Mcdonalds knows it's stuff because it's a massive dominating chain, but it's actually destroying the enviroment as well as cultures not to mention it's animal cruelty and detremental effect on peoples health. Just because Square has made lots of successful video games doesnt mean they have the right formula. i want a strong heroine and im not getting one.
