I wonder if we'll ever see robot protagonists

in rpgs (and don't say Xenosaga because Kos-Mos existed purely to have a female cyborg)

SPOILERZ (on an old ass PSX game).

And if you want to know who that is without clicking the url,

Code:

it's Rudy from Wild Arms 1.

Edit: Wait, this should've been obvious.



Yeah, guess where I stole it from. :P

OK, OK, I don't know every robot rpg character! But yeah, you have a point about there being robot characters. Though are any of them the main character?

Both in the last post are. Even if I never really thought of the former as THE main character when I played, despite the fact that developers obviously intended it.

Well, Final Fantasy XIII will have a heroine, so perhaps that will attract a large female fanbase. We need more heroines in RPGs, particularly.

Yeah, but 10-2 had female main characters to appeal to guys, and there seems to be an emphasis on her lack of clothes in the trailers for 13.

I was just thinking of Lara Croft...

As for marketing, it's completely subjective.  Not all girls LOVE TO SHOP ^___^;;; while not all guys love shit like Halo.  I in particular, hate Halo, but love shopping, so.  Demographics...  Away!

Sony Marketing AI: DOES NOT COMPUTE DOES NOT bzzzt... Kaboom!

Shows that games companies just need to make games that aren't aimed at any particular demographic, like say, pretty much every game made by Nintendo. And also pretty much every game that has been marketed by Nintendo. Well, except for Ocarina of Time anyway...
