Does anyone feel weird playing a girl as the main character. Not being sexist but traditionally they are usually male and the only way it could work is if the main character is a tom boy.

It doesn't bother me...
I think though..and this probably will be controversial, but I think that's why so many people seem to hate FF X-2..if X-2 had been a bunch of guys out trying to find a missing princess for example I feel it would have been much more popular...
One guy if I recall correctly told me on one of the forums how much he hated Paine..I didn't understand it..still don't.....
I wonder if they will like Lighning or if they will come up with some reason not to...Because some people say she will be like a female Cloud I guess they will be comforted by that and excuse the fact she's not a male...

I really don't care. As long as the gameplay isn't s***ty and the story is good, I'm fine.

good topic, this has actually been brought up in a couple discussion around the net, around my hometown, etc.

I am not sexist by any means, but I am a little curious, skeptical, hesitant to have a female as the lead of a FF game. You just do not see it very often and it brings a new twist to the game. She doesnt look all "girlie" from what we have seen, so I dont think I will feel like a pansy playing this game like I kinda did with FFX-2.

I. Don't. Mind.

At all, really. It's original, refreshing and nice to see a change like that, I'm eager to actually play with her.

Besides, it's not the first time you get a female lead in a videogame. Even in Final Fantasy we've had female protagonists, so I don't really see the point.

I don't mind, as long as she isn't anything like the girls from X-2.

I, huh, am looking forward to work and/or cooperate with her to save the world, whatever it is.

4 main characters, not one say good-bye

I'm glad we're playing as a female character this time around, rather than the same ol' typical whiny effeminate boys that have plagued the last few FF games (and movies).

I really don't mind playing as a girl.

it's not like it's the first rpg with a female protagonist, I had no problems playing as chicks before.

Eww, girls are icky. [/nineyearold]

But as GG said, I'm sick of the recent FF's whiny blond-haired protagonists. I mean come on, Vaan was like 100% recycled Tidus. It's nice to see a change.
