Oh my god, fam! That’s such a deep cut! Love that game!! <3

<3 Have you heard that GOG is planing a remaster of that game? I don’t have any clue when it will be available though.

Why does the image look like it’s hallucinated by a LLM?
DahGangalang@infosec.pub 1 month ago
It appears to be a widely circulated fan art, appearing on her page of the Fandom Wiki (though Tetsuya Nomura may be an official artist for FFX).
Point is that its accredited to an artist, so it would seem the missing teeth was intentional?
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
For me, it’s the teeth, the hair spikes seem to be jutting in too many directions, and the basic layout and width of her face/head seem off.

I scrolled pretty far and didn’t see a single mention of Marle from Chrono Trigger (or I’m blind). Needles to say, she was mine. I’ve always had a thing for redheads 😊

It’s close, but the hue is just red enough for my book. I won’t argue with anyone calling it blonde though. The official box art (both JP and NTSC) shows her slightly more orange than the sprite too.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
When I was playing chrono trigger the first time, I associated all the characters with friends. About 15 years later I married the woman I associated with Marle/Nadia, so I think my subconscious was telling me something.

Babette from Cosmic Fantasy 2.
Cosmic Fantasy 2 is the only game in the Cosmic Fantasy series that ever saw a North America release. It was released on the Turbografx 16 CD, which is the game system my mom bought me when she bought my older brother and younger sister of Super NES and a Sega Genesis.
She figured buying each of us a different game system would mean that we would share and collaborate, but nobody wanted to play my role-playing game, and they didn’t want to let me play Sonic or Mario, so I sat down and played Cosmic Fantasy II from beginning to end.
It was the first role-playing game I ever beat, it was the first role-playing game I had ever seen with full-motion video, it was a really good story, and yeah, the introduction of Babette was a full-motion anime video of her taking a shower in a space ship, which was fantastic to preteen me.

wow. I would likely have listed her at the bottom of the playable characters. I mean I definitely have lulu at the top followed by yuna.
codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
FF10 is like a personality test for sexuality:
Lulu - goth dommy mommy
Yuna - good conservative religious girls
Rikku - young and playful girls
Tidus - fuckboys
Wakka - athletic twinks
Auron - yes daddy
Kimahri - 😻
HeartyOfGlass@piefed.social 1 month ago
And the answer to that test is “all of the above”

HubertManne@piefed.social 1 month ago

Ifrit - You have at least two Bad Dragons on display in your living room
Shiva - You want to be stepped on
Seymour - You made your therapist cry, and took it as a win
Dona - You’re constantly chasing women who want nothing to do with you
Barthello - You want a dude who can bench press you
Isaaru - Quiet bookish guys Cid - You like watching your partner work on their car a little too much

I remember when I played ff10 thinking “Rikku is kind of hot”, and then reading she’s 15 in the fiction. 17 in the sequel where she’s even more naked. Nope. Why? Unnecessary. Just make her an adult!
At least ff7 Tifa is 20, which is still a little young. I didn’t have a big crush on her, but I did think her suplexing building sized monsters was hot.

She’s also not real
ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I guess when you’re a kid yourself you don’t realise it’s a lot more creepy when the writers, animators etc. are 20s, 30s, 40s…

I think for me, the only female I remember in a video game was the princess in the arcade version (because consoles didn’t exist yet) of Donkey Kong. And she seemed kinda cute, for a blob of coloured pixels.
Much later, I do remember being quite entranced by Lara Croft’s walk in Tomb Raider… I think that was the first time I thought a computer generated female looked attractive. Honestly, the image quality was still horrible but they nailed that walk.
Maverick604@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
lol, found a short of all the Lara Croft walks… I was referencing the first one, obviously.

Pauline isn’t a princess, just a damsel in distress. Mario would get into the princess rescuing gig 4 years later.
