Thread: Final Fantasy females: tomboy, girly-girl, or in-between?

    Default Final Fantasy females: tomboy, girly-girl, or in-between?

    Out of all the females in the Final Fantasy franchise, which ones do you consider to be tomboys, which ones are girly-girls, and which ones are in-between?
    Is that your final answer?

    it's pretty obvious in every installment isn't it
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    What's tomboyish about Quistis, Garnet, and Rikku?

    Garnet's a runaway rebel, and Rikku plays with hand grenades? Dunno about Quistis

    I tend not to use the term tomboy, 'cause I find it stupid, and a tad offensive. I mean, a soon as a girl does something tough and heroic, she's "acting like a boy"? Stereotype much?

    I don't know about all that Aerith's Knight was the first person I ever heard who thought Garnet was a tomboy. I don't think I would hear many people call Kitara one either and they've both done their share of heroics.

    I wouldn't call Selphie one either. She's just very energetic and expressive.

    To be honsest, I think the majority (if not all) of them where "in-between" (also known as, "a real girl"), they had their girly moments, because they are girls, but had more heroic moments as well. I still hesitate to use tomboy, because it is just not something I find correct, for reasons I explained above. But you get characters like Rinoa, who for most of the game was strong willed and independent, and basically an adventerous character who you could depend on. However, during the iguion scene, and the space scene, she's suddenly the damsel in a dress that needs saving, but I don't find that took over the whole character - in FFVIII practically every character needed saving at one point, including the men (Zell needed saving from the Warden for example), even Squall needed saving at some points, and he's the "hero" of the game. Basically FFVIII (and in a way, all FFs) was a team effort, and the characters, were basically allies, who helped eachother.
