Do you like your hero's

[Gunblades]

I prefer female heroins, but often they are severly held back, unable to be allowed to lash out with a blade or gun and reduced to whimpering maidens in need of help to endure a quest.

[Yuffie514]

male or female . though i'd like to see more female main characters .

[Flamethrower]

Either or. I guess I prefer male heros, since I'm male and it's easier for me to identify with them.

I don't want to vote because I think there are equal amounts of male and female characters in each FF. Going back to what Gunblades said I think there are female characters that are not 'reduced to whimpering maidens'. I'm going to start from FFVI because I havn't played the earlier ones (yet).

FFVI: Celes was pretty strong, as was Terra. They had their weak moments, but then so do all the characters.
FFVII: Tifa and especially Yuffie. Hardly whimpering while they were bringing down ShinRa Inc and defeating the second best villian (arguable) of all time.
FFVIII: Quistis stays strong throughout, as does Selphie (SPOILER)(except when the stage in the Quad gets destroyed). In fact, if Selphie did feel down then something is seriously wrong.
FFIX: Freya, Eiko and Quina (I think she's female) are all strong throughout and are more than capable of dealing some serious damage.
FFX: Rikku. Her hyperactivity is comparable only to Yuffie, and possibly Selphie (depends on her sugar level)
FFX-2: Rikku, again, and Paine. I don't think she ever says anything that suggests she is feeling in need of rescue. But then again I may be wrong, as someone will surely point out.

The most common gamers are males at 18 or 19 which is why so many heros are males or so Ive been told. I honestly dont care if they're malem or female as theyre actually likeable. If theyre females I dont want them to be at all X-2'ish. That would just put me off altogether.

I hardly consider celes an admirable heroine.

I suppose I prefer male heroes. I guess I'm used to thinking as them after so many games^_^

[Destination0]

I like male heros

[JseanjohnC]

i voted female because I would like to see another female heroine like Beatrix from ff9 and Kill Bill and Strom from X-men kick ass

[Gunblades]

i was talking about the MAIN character Forest owl.

exactly, KillBill is a great example of a strong female lead.

[Zante]

As long as they are well developed I don't realy mind.

[Gunblades]

[Xander]

I don't really care, as long as they are a good, interesting character.

[Chris]

I voted for both of 'em because:

(SPOILER)I'M IN LOVE WITH QUINA, SHE'S BRAVE AND HE'S ALWAYS HUNGRY.

[Dark Matter]

I want to vote for the 2 options too, but which one comes first? Lady first! Once I voted for female, I could no longer vote for male and i received this message, You have already voted on this poll. Too bad.

Hey, Chris's lying, how come he could vote for 2 of them.
