why do japanese videogames have Feminine"pretty boy" main characters?

[GaryPaytonLA]

take for example, SOLID snake and squall leonheart side by side

both are of caucasian descent

the difference?!

one is a feminine deuchebag who acts like a girl.


other is the badass(i dont give a crap attitude while keeping his cool and be the hero)

and the look..

Squall-->clean shaven, with long hair, TIGHT jeans

snake-->messy hair, messy facial hair, the look of a killer.

it just doesn't compare... japanese these days really need to make GUY maiin characters instead of "pretty boy" main characters. END OF RANT. DOnt believe me? look at most of the japanese made games today, i guarantee you that the main character will be

1. skinny
2. clean shaven
3. has spiny or long hair
4. acts like a wimp

[rand0m]

There Japanise ?!?!?!?

You don't ask questions ...

They have soiled girls underwear venders ...

They're Japanise

[Nickster]

Because they want to go at extreme lengths to piss me off.

Couldnt stand squall in FF8, he made me want to punch my T.V. screen, over and over again.

We need more characters like Mattias Nilsson from mercenaries, or HK-47 from KOTOR or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

[ThaiTanium22]

Auron from Final Fantasy 10 was pretty bad ass. Tidus...was not.

[Kimkalisto]

I fucking hated titus in FFX. Fuck japanese and there games.

[JesusTheJedi]

LoL, the Japanese created Snake you dipshit.

[Sleek]

The guy from Shadow of the Colossus is the girliest of the girls. Link isnt too wussy, he shows moments of badassness in Twilight Princess.

[Cee]

Differences in culture. New York and LA hip hop central........ Go anywhere in Utah and you'll find it'll be different.

Nigga you dun taken dem pills again?

[Daucus Karota]

because they don't like ugly people?


I prefer the ugly robust warrior types when I play video games

Dwarves>Elves



looks does not define a killer!

Snake just looks like raging alcoholic

[Wu-tang]

LoL, the Japanese created Snake you dipshit.

haha yeah. When I read the OP i was like "wtf?"

[Daucus Karota]

this is badass

[18C]

Japanese love cute cuddly things.

[Zantutsuken]

They call it Bishonen/Biseinen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishonen), it's an old part of Japanese culture.

[Lividum]

Auron from Final Fantasy 10 was pretty bad ass. Tidus...was not.

Indeed. Auron is the most badass character next to Sin in that game. More games need something like him. I didn't hate Tidus, but that whiny voice got a bit annoying and his general appearance was too clean all throughout the game.

[Nickster]

WHAT?! Its actually part of their culture to piss me off?!!?!?



FUCK!!!

Tidus was a bitch. Jecht was tight too.

You know how everyone hated Raiden? (mgs) Well apparently everyone in Japan loved him.

[Electrify]

MGS is Japanese... :dunce:

[The_Canadian]

Yes I agree, japs are weird shits. If I' m making a video game character I would make him look real manly, not some transexual. Meh, its japan, they draw girls with dicks.

[psychotic n00b]

1. skinny
2. clean shaven
3. has spiny or long hair
4. acts like a wimp

except for number 4, thats cloud.

and that makes me sad.

[Quick_Draw21]

this is badass

haha you played baldurs gate?

[Anti Flag]

FUCK!!!

that doesn't mean japanese men dress like that, retard.

why the fuck does our society worship whores like anna nichole smith, why is it cool for dude's asses to hang out?

[Nickster]

Maybe you should read what the fuck I quoted before you start flinging insults.

They call it Bishonen/Biseinen, it's an old part of Japanese culture

Now what the hell did I say about people actually dressing like that?

Men worship Anna Smith becuase she had huge tits and was rich.

And kids dont let their pants hang low because they think it's cool, they let them hang below their asses because most of the kids this generation are too dumb to comprehend how to put on a belt.

[nirvana]

No. Actually, they think it's cool.

[HBK4L]

because thats what they are like in japan. why are american videogame characters so badass? same reason.

[The_Canadian]

No, kids wear thier pants below thier ass because thier jeans are supposed to fit them intill thier 50

[gatorpatric0]

Auron from Final Fantasy 10 was pretty bad ass. Tidus...was not.

Agreed.

Auron, Kimahri and Wakka were awesome. Tidus was a big pussy fag. Lulu was more manly than Tidus.

[Slick37c]

LoL, the Japanese created Snake you dipshit.

Yea, he's retarded. Don't mind Gary though, he likes Carlos Mencia.

[Daucus Karota]

haha you played baldurs gate?
of course I did

both games and the expansions



I am a freak for rpg games:D



when I search for Tidus,I find pictures of that Gackt fellow
what a beautiful man,you uglies should not talk bad about such a beauty


badass characters:

Reverent Ray(Call of Juarez )
Smilin Jack(Vampire The Masqurade:Bloodlines

[Al Paccioli]

Who the fuck is Tidus? I thought FFX's protagonist was Meg Ryan...

[Pajman]

I don't see why any of this matters; you wouldn't have your precious PS3 if it weren't for the Japanese.

[Nocturnal]

Japanese people are going to find it more difficult to identify with a rough guy with stubble everywhere.

[Daucus Karota]

Japanese people are going to find it more difficult to identify with a rough guy with stubble everywhere. Japs identify with pretty boys with big soft blue eyes and fluffy blonde hair?(proto Scandinavian Boy)
:err:


Smilin Jack(Voiced By John Dimaggio/Bender) this thread/

[psychomonkey62]

HK-47 from KOTOR or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

That is the best fight in videogame history, methinks.

[Nocturnal]

Smilin Jack(Voiced By John Dimaggio/Bender) this thread/

All evidence suggests that this is the case.

[psychomonkey62]

You know how everyone hated Raiden? (mgs) Well apparently everyone in Japan loved him.

Well, in MGS4, he's apparently going to be the most bad-ass of all bad-asses in all of bad-ass land.

Fucking bad-ass.

[BraineateR]

We need more characters like Mattias Nilsson from mercenaries, or HK-47 from KOTOR or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

HK-47 was the kickass robot right? loved it when all the other party members would whine about bad things youre doing and he would always have your back. calling people meatbags or meatballs, wish there were more kickass
companions in KOTOR

[drone]

Well today i was shopping and i saw a asian guy, I duno if he was jap or not, he looked like a huge nerd! And he had two gay ass cute little pig ears clipped onto his hair. Fuck that was stupid!

[EvaMonkey]

The Bishi-Boy image is also to sell games to females, Girls like cute looking Metrosexual males in their games.

It's also a cultural thing, it works well in the east but not as well in the west... you guys could just not buy the game if it annoys you that much.

Side Note: The ultimate Bishi is Sephrioph... look at what a bad-ass he was.
