Action Girl/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** Freya Crescent from ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''. To put it in [http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff09 the words of one reviewer]:

{{quote| "Let me see if I'm understanding this. Freya is one of the main heroines of a JRPG -- and she ''doesn't'' at any point have the hots for the hero, ''never'' needs to be rescued by the hero, and in fact shows up the hero in a monster-slaying competition? (Unless the player really knows what he's doing during the Festival of the Hunt sequence, that is.) And wait -- does Freya really offer ''zero'' fanservice? Not even the slightest effort is made to cater to ''[[Secret of NIMH]]'' fanboy furries? (..) And am I really not imagining the game, when Freya ends up with the guy she has the hots for -- a guy who, again, isn't the game's male main character? Whoa. Not only might Freya be the best Dragoon in ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', the best female party member in the whole series (at least from a feminist perspective)."}}

** Beatrix, of the same game, gets the opportunity to play a game of [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]] with the party ''three times'', and then she joins as a [[Guest Star Party Member]] and gets to clean house.

** Lulu from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' is a really [[Badass]] [[Black Magician Girl]] who fights alongside the guys to protect [[The Messiah|Yuna.]] Her powerful magic makes her one of the most valuable fighters in the game. Rikku, the [[Lovable Rogue|Lovable]] [[Genki Girl]] [[Lovable Rogue|Rogue]], is no slouch either.
