[Fun] Why do you use a female character?

[XzaviyrVL]

In any game that allows character creation I generally roll a male character that closely resembles myself in RL. I do this typically because in all the cartoons/anime/fantasy movies that I've ever watched, I've always wanted top be apart of those epic battles. So to kind of live out that nomadic hero lifestyle I fantasize about.. I create person similar to myself in these games.

But I usually role Female alt because in all of my favorite cartoons/animes/movies there is always that female character that you'd rip your own heart out for to show her how much you love her lol. Or the cool tomboy that you would love to have watching your back. I generally try to capture the essence of both in my female toons.

haha. It sounds to me as if the devs need to quit slacking on the male character designs, gear, and emotes! xD (Anyone else watched a male Elezen dance and said, "Oh... oh god... I'm so sorry!" XDDDD )

My current alt is a Femroe because hyur and mi'cats are super common, I dislike elezens proportions, and I just can't take lalas seriously lol(but I do think the lala WHM in the opening movie is the cutest thing). I also think Roes have some of the most mature, yet elegant facial structures. Despite their dominant physique you can sculpt a really beautiful femroe with the options presented.

EDITS: Oh and of course! MERLWYB

Cuz its something nice to look at


i don't want to look at some big hairy man all day. That would make me homosexual.

Reason: i play a lot and i don't want to stare at a Dudes ass for hours. Thats why i play female chars.

I read a lot of books when I was a kid, and thought it was pretty unfair that there were always male heros and female victims that needed to be rescued. When I eventually started to discover stories and games where it was the GIRL'S turn to do some heroing ("King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella" being a prime example), I thought it was AWESOME.

Ever since then, whenever presented with an option to play a male or female character in a game, I generally go with female. I like to think of it as a heroine addiction.

There is literally nothing better than an awesome, though as nails, yet ruggedly sexy female lead! Lol.

So... what does playing a Lalafell make you....?

So, THAT'S why people keep dying on Titan. Instead of zooming out, they stay in to stare at their PCs lady parts.

When I create a character in a game, I'm not creating a virtual representation of me, I'm creating a character I want to play as, so it doesn't have to be male. Since a lot of the games I play give me no choice but to play as a male character (e.g., GTAs, RDR, Uncharteds, Halos), one reason for creating a female character is for a chance of pace. Another reason is because I want a character that I will not grow tired of looking at for the dozens or hundreds of hours I'm playing the game (yes, eye candy is a factor in my decision, I won't deny that). Beyond the eye candy factor, however, the options for male characters generally do not appeal to me.

Because I'm a female! I picked elezen female because despise the weird proportions, they look strong and at the same time very womanly.

Its kind of ironic that I'm taking a hiatus from the game because of the way she looks in a way.. too many gross comments by one of my FC members sort of put me off playing meh.

Don't listen to 'em. I have an Elezen alt that I'm tempted to just abandon all together and use my Phial of Fantasia on my main to change to Elezen. Elezen are underrated, not weird.
