Thread: Top 10 Female Chars (Woman's Day)

Most game covers have a stereotype dude on the front and the few games with a woman on the cover didn't 'sell that well'? I mean, Ellie actually had to be put more into the background according to ND's marketing peoplez. Thats why this has always been a point I'm curious about. Who are your favorite female game characters? Do it for woman's day, do it for me. Don't let the topic dissapear ^^

As a warm-up I put mine together

*NPC = Non playable character

1. Commander Viola Shepard (Mass Effec)


2. Krystal (StarFox) NPC


3. Liara T’Soni NPC (Mass Effect)


4. Lightning Farron (Final Fantasy XIII)


5. Elena Fisher NPC (Uncharted)


6. Tali’Zorah NPC (Mass Effect)


7. Talwyn Apogee NPC (Ratchet & Clank)


8. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)


9. Juno Eclipse NPC (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed


10. Oerba Yun Fang (Final Fantasy XIII)

I think Coco Bandicoot should have an honourable mention.

#1: Terra (Final Fantasy III/VI)


#2: Raiden Para-Medic (MGS 3)


#3: Riley (The Last of Us: Left Behind)


#4: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider '13)


#5: Chloe Frazer (Uncharted 2, just 2 tough)


#6: Mags the Mechanic (LBP)


Those were the only ones that came to mind, so no Top 10 ^^'

Happy Women's Day! If these are in terms of just "favorites" and regardless of how they were handled in their respective games, I think I can come up with a list. In descending order:


10: Natalia (Tales of the Abyss)




9: Mitsuru (Persona 3)




8: Princess Peach (Super Mario Bros.)




7: Prishe (Final Fantasy XI)




6: Aika (Skies of Arcadia)




5: Bayonetta (Bayonetta)




4: The Boss (Metal Gear Solid 3)




3: KOS-MOS (Xenosaga)




2: Shion Uzuki (Xenosaga)




1: Chie Satonaka (Persona 4)

Nobody is going for



or

#1: Terra (Final Fantasy III/VI)


#2: Raiden Para-Medic (MGS 3)


#3: Riley (The Last of Us: Left Behind)


#4: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider '13)


#5: Chloe Frazer (Uncharted 2, just 2 tough)


#6: Mags the Mechanic (LBP)


Those were the only ones that came to mind, so no Top 10 ^^'

Riley, Not Ellie?

I like Riley better, Ellie's just kind of a prick for most of the game.

I'm not a big Ellie fan either… too much swearing, didn't expect her to be like that.

I loved Ellie, she felt like a real kid to me. I knew a lot of people like that when I was her age. The great thing about her is that she felt like a genuine person and didn't easily fall into an archtype like most female characters do. Its just sad in general how hard it was to come up with a Top 10 Females list compared to how much easier it would have been to do a Top 10 Males list. Would love to see more of a balance in the future of games, in terms of quantity AND quality.

Nobody mentioned


or



Both main characters in their Respective games. Notbad

I assumed the point was basing ranks on personal favorites rather than significance. I like both Samus and Chell plenty but they aren't necessarily my top favorite characters.

Eh, honorable mentions.

But i'd prolly have her on my list:

Nobody mentioned

She lost my respect with her latest game.

Her voice actor wasn't the best choice.. they should have kept J. Hale. Or throw the dialogue out of the window. Though I loved the game itself, prefer the 3rd person 3D Super Metroid of Prime.

And idd, it harder to come up with a top 10 females, something that should change asap

It's just as hard to do a Top 10 men aswell.
If I'm not given a specific role (like Top 10 Female Healers or Top 10 *insert game here* female characters) I'll try to think of everything at once, which results in nothing most of the time.
