Female Protagonists Anonymous 04/19/2025 (Sat) 01:20:48 Id: cc3cd3 No. 1140403
What are your favorite games that have a female protagonist (excluding ones with a character creator)? I’ve avoided them in the past but I’ve played a few recently. Here are the ones I’ve got in my Steam library, and I’d recommend pretty much any of them: >AI Limit >Alice: Madness Returns >Beyond Good & Evil >Crow Country >Okami >Portal >Resident Evil (Remake) >Tomb Raider I-III Remastered >Tomb Raider IV-VI
>Atelier Lulua In this alchemy/turn based rpg, play as the daughter of the great Rorona in this victory lap of the series. Does not include english voice acting. Rather ancient. >Crystar In this action rpg game, play as Rei, who ends up in purgatory, and fight to save your sister, as well as others. In this world, "idea" or emotions, give strength, and allow you to summon stands. Requires steam controller api. >Gurumin In this action platformer "kids game" by nihon falcom, play as the adventurous character Parin to save the monster world with your weapon. >Persona 3 Portable In this dating sim/turn based rpg, play as the female protagonist who favors the naginata and join the SEES to investigate the mysterious dark hour. Have hilarious moments with your butler, and experience a whole bunch of tracks made to suit the change in protagonist. Not available in Persona 3 Reload because segac. You get to have all the original voices in this version. Does not include The Answer expansion. >River City Girls In this beat em up game by wayforward games and arc system works, play at the protagonists kyoko and misako and fight your way through river city. >Rune Factory 4 In this dating sim/farm simulator/action rpg, play as the female protagonist who is adept at farming in this penultimate lap of the original series. >The Killing Antidote In this clone of 3D resident evil games, play as the protagonist in a more accessible resident evil like game without banking on the series. >Threads of Fate In this action rpg, play as the female protagonist mint who has access to chakrams and spell casting. >Vivid World In this upcoming roguelike adventure teambuild autobattler game that is a sequel, play as the protagonist who finds herself in the underworld where people have been turned into summoning stones. >Arcane Soul In this sidescrolling game, play as the female knight who has access to magic. Not readily available. >Defense Witches In this tower defense game, learn the witches strengths and use them to defend your towers. Not readily available. >Liberation Maiden Mobile In this shump and remastered 3DS port by level 5 and grasshopper manufacturer, you are Shoko, the newly elected president of New Japan following your fathers assassination. Pilot the mech Kamui and purify the land through a variety of scenarios. Ridiculous production values. Only got a visual novel sequel that went offrails. Not readily available. >Tentacle Kendo Girl Airu In this arcade game, play as the protagonist Airu who utilizes her kendo swinging skills along with tentacle appendages to defeat the enemy. Think more of the devour actions from God Eater. Not readily available. >Zenonia 2 In this action rpg, play as the ranged female protagonist Ecne on a quest to find your brother. Not readily available.

>>1161861 right looks like a front desk girl that cosplays (badly) on the weekend.
>>1140403 while LoU2 wasn't perfect, it was much better in terms of pacing and gameplay than LoU1. playing as both Ellie and abby was rewarding, and I'm glad they felt disctinctly different. I am fucking pissed they never shipped multiplayer with that game. Multiplayer LoU2 with the new movement and hiding mechanics would have been fucking sick. that was one of the major fumbles by naughty dog. Other than that, underrated game in terms of chud goggles.
>>1140403 Does Batgirl from Gotham Knights count?

Okami is my second favorite game of all time So it counts i guess
BB!
Satisfactory was chill about it, you could only tell from the character model. But once 1.0 came out they made it a bigger deal, with the coop/other player in the main menu twirling her wrench. She can't just be a representation of the multiplayer ability, she has to be a swaggy girlboss, of fucking course >>1140403 >(excluding ones with a character creator) no shit

>>1175678 Literally my dream girl...
<Yggdra Union <Recattear
>>1155555 >Quints Check 'em. I haven't played 2 or 3, but the issues I've heard surrounding them seem to be fairly noticeable. >2 - Wicked weave nerfs and enemy types made it stiff innings to play on harder difficulties. - Also a WiiU exclusive thanks to Platinum's troubles. - Generally just not as interesting as the first in terms of story. >3 - DMC4 syndrome. Introducing Viola wasn't exactly the best move, though the complaints about her are little from what I've seen. - Beast summoning mechanic wasn't as interesting or in-depth as it could have been. Possibly also ruined interactivity in fights? - Bayo's OG VA being a liar and trying to squeeze more money out of her contract. - Jumping for photorealism. Enough said. - Questionable story decisions Unceremoniously killing off Jeanne? Multiple timelines? - Stuck on the Switch primarily.

>>1154206 >Is it because it's harder to reduce a female character into a mindless objectified totem of shallow juvenile lust after you've been forced to step into her shoes and acknowledge her lived experienced? take a chill pill, bro on topic, for me it's Jill from RE3, Regina from Dino Crisis, Aya from Parasite Eve, Neptune from Neptunia, Joanna from Perfect Dark...all cool lasses.

Here's one you probably have never heard of.

>>1140403 Big fan of RE and NieR Automata here. They are not the protagonist but I want to mention Tifa and Aerith for the impact they had on my life
Had to get over my reluctance to play as a girl early, because the male character was goddamn useless in this game.

>>1145330 not that I dont think shes hot but the porn of her is too generic bimbo or too yucky
>>1248084 They should make more porno of Samus with the suit.

>>1248206 >samus riding cowgirl >activates speed booster
>>1248206 A man of culture.
>>1248206 There wasn't much porn of her until zero mission because artists are only good at drawing so they never saw her without the suit.
>>1248429 Was that the first game where you see her without the suit when you die?
>>1140403 Out of curiosity, what makes a female protagonist good, in you guys' opinion? Also, does it interact with an actual female power fantasy?
>>1336685 If it's a third person game she needs to have a cute butt and if it's a first person game you should be able to look down at your tits that also should be cute.
>>1258035 Nah that super metroid. every 2d metroid since then had the powersuit disapearring animation. Yes Metroid Dread still has it. Pics related. Which is still odd since you would think there would be porn in that bikini outfit piror to the zerosuit. This makes me think artists didn't play metroid games period. Now that I think about it was really Smash Bros Brawl that really kickstarted the samus porn. Since the 1st trailer in may 2006 showed her in the zero suit. Once again showing that artist are fucking secondaries casuals.

>>1336685 Generally: attractive, likeable, and relatable as a female. Strict action-girls might meet the first two criteria but fail the third. Yuna and Heather Mason meet all three. Not to say that < 3 == bad, but I think that's what separates "good pulp" from "bona fide classic." And of course, a good story can be told with 0/3, but then we're getting into the world of avant-garde art pieces with villain-protagonists and such. >Also, does it interact with an actual female power fantasy? The notion of the protagonist driving the story forward seems mostly orthogonal to whether a story is good or not: Yuna (FFX) and Terra (FF6) are protagonists of a sort that is acted upon by the force of circumstances until they aren't, very late in the story. In Terra's case, her powerlessness comes in part from her story arc being a metaphor for puberty.
