Wandering Eruyt Village. If only I could mod; I'd start on something to give the playboy bunny fetish women some better clothes so I could stop cringing every time I see them.

It's a pity, Fran is so badass if only she wasn't so ridiculously dressed to wank at.

It kinda reminds me of that character from Metal Gear V who has a disease that means she can't wear a shirt or she'll die.

You don't remember boob lady with a small tie? The one whose majority of in game dialog is reducing her to a joke as she calls out increasingly ridiculous color-coded threat levels before having her own boss kill her with the weakest magic spell in the game despite the act of killing her directly breaking one the central contrivances the plot hinges on?

To be fair, it looks like he's using Baptism of Destruction, which isn't the weakest spell in the game and is decently strong. But yeah lol it doesn't make much sense why Bart can kill a human on purpose

It's a little tenuous but well within belief to figure he can fight and kill humans that are a danger to Cocoon since he is the executive falcie. So like he can order a drone strike but can't just set the nukes off at home.

It's a but arbitrary as to why Jihl would have needed killing but there's difference enough between killing a few people for being bad at their job compared to dropping Cocoon into pulse.

That isn't entirely correct. It's the loophole thing. Bart's plan involves a gigantic mass human sacrifice which requires enough people dying at once to cause a huge issue. Bart being able to kill someone individually doesn't go against the fact he can't enact the mass human sacrifice on his own. You could argue that he could go around killing a bunch of people himself but that wouldn't necessarily be enough considering the entire plan revolves around "All the loving death at once."

The major FFVIII yaoi pairing is Squall/Seifer, obviously. Zell dies alone, craving hotdogs.

There isn't a lot of boy love in the FF series though now I think on it. And I guess FFXV is fine since we already had X-2. Fair is fair.

Still have no idea why a majority of JRPGs have only three playable female characters. Doesn't matter how big the cast is; whether it's big like FFVI or if the ladies are half of the cast like FFVIII, it's only three. There are exceptions like Chrono Cross or Neptunia or other games that are pushing a combination of fanservice/girl power but when somebody pointed this fact out to me it blew my mind.

IV: Rydia, Rosa, Porom
V: Lenna, Faris, Krile
VI: Celes, Terra, Relm
VII: Aerith, Tifa, Yuffie
VIII: Rinoa, Quistis, Selphie
IX: Garnet, Eiko, Freya
X: Yuna, Rikku, Lulu
X-2: Yuna, Rikku, Paine
XII: Ashe, Fran, Penelo
XIII: Lightning, Vanille, Fang
Chrono Trigger: Marle, Lucca and Ayla,
Xenogears: Elly, Emeralda and Maria
Xenoblade Chronicles: Sharla, Melia and Fiora
Xenosaga: KOS-MOS, Shion and MOMO
Persona 2 Innocent Sin: Maya, Lisa, Yukino
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment: Maya, Ulala, Ellie
Persona 3-5 count too unless you think Fuuka, Rise and Futaba are in the party in some sense.



It cause most of these games have 4-6 party members and the ones that don't only have like 2-4 male members that are actually important to the story (See FF VI, FF X, etc.)

All of the FF games listed have five or more party members and if you're only counting those important to the story, the ratio is even worse.

Yeah, but none of them are 4. (Unless some of the non-FF ones are, in which case my mistake!)

Point is claiming things with massive male parties don't count because the males aren't important is kind of silly. The point remIns that no matter how big the party is, there can never be more female characters.

ZenMaster said most of these games had 4-6 party members. I said none of those games had only 4 party members (because 5 has 5). I also said I don't know the non-FF games in the list besides Chrono Trigger, so some of those could have only 4 party members.

ZenMaster said the games with larger casts had only 1-2 important male party members anyway. I said that doesn't explain why there are never more than 3 female party members, and also not all of the 3 female party members per game were important, so that point doesn't actually mean anything.
