Disagree with a book
I've been reading a book called Character Design: A Psychological Approach or someting like that, by... someone. The book seems like an intro to psychology book and introduces some social psychology and uses that to explain good character design, with examples from various games. That may not have made sense, but the point is this: in a section on female gamers, it mentions Lulu and Yuna as female "archetypes."
It also gives a brief description of the two girls. But the description seems totally wrong. For example, it describes Lulu as "sensuous, materialistic and hyperfeminine." No way. Sensuous, maybe (she does have a rather large chest) but she is not materialistic, and in no way is she feminine (except that she does get motherly in FFX-2). In a word, she is goth.
It also describes Yuna as "androgenous, understated and more focused on the spiritual." A little more accurate, I guess. While i wouldn't call her 'androgenous" she is understated (as in little personality) and as a summoner has to be spiritual.
But what I ask is, do you agree with the book?
