Apparently Lara Croft is Non-Existent

MC's sex has nothing to do with the sales of the games. Heck, he could be a girl, just like Samus, and we'd never know it. He never talks or removes his armor, we only have other people's word for it.

Master Chief does talk, and the voice actor is Steve Downes. He is definitely male, this is written fact.

Downes said that his voicing for Master Chief was based entirely on Bungie's written character description provided, which specified a character similar to Clint Eastwood and of few words.

To be fair, though, BoB, Master Chief doesn't start talking until immediately into the first game. You could easily think he's a chick for a few minutes.

[Loony BoB]

You could say the same about Tidus despite him talking.

EDIT: Actually, that's probably a bit harsh. Tidus doesn't look that feminine so much as he acts like a two year old. Maybe Cloud in Advent Children, though... or Irvine in FFVIII.

[KentaRawr!]

Why would calling Tidus feminine be harsh?

Cloud's a guy?!

Sorry. Only Halo game I've played is Reach, so I was making an assumption based on what little experience I had. My most humble apologies.

So cross replace Halo with Halo Reach and Master Chief with the Rookie. Happy?

I don't actually see too much wrong with his appearance suiting his gender when you compare him to other FF characters (Cloud, Irvine, Squall, Zell, etc.)... what wouldn't be harsh is saying he's a stupid and annoying character that deserves every punch to the face that Snow ever got.
