I always appreciate the girls who go to conventions cosplaying as PS1 era Lara. It's not a difficult costume to source, you need a pale blue tank top, brown shorts, brown boots, fingerless gloves, a little backpack, the pistol belt with the huge square buckle, and half a shoebox.

This was my favourite game as a kid.

I was full on obsessed (with the gameplay!)

I re-visit it once in a while and always have a good time.

Yeah she’s thicc, but she shows it off with how powerful her legs are, so it actually fits her in more than just a sexual manner. The fact she could crush a watermelon with her thighs is just a perk.

I would pay $5 to see Chun Li in Mortal Kombat with a fatality using her thighs.

There was a PS1 Fighting game where you, in the menu, could turn "boob movement" on and off to a very little change ingame.

Which one is this?

Don’t quite remember if it was high school or college for me….

This screenshot just clawed a memory from the depths of my brain. I don’t even remember playing this game as a kid, but I vividly remember this character and art style.

4

It was made by Don Bluth. You might have seen his other game Space Ace, and you've definitely seen some of his movies, like An American Tale (Fievel), All Dogs Go To Heaven, Secret of NIMH, or Rock-a-doodle.

It's on Steam if you want to relive the experience.

Last time it was mentioned here on Lemmy I was surprised how many other people also thought they were the only one who played it.

I actually have it on gog, but I've had a few issues running it on Linux. I haven't tried it a while, and I didn't troubleshoot much at all. I should give it another try.

10

I used Steam's Proton to run it and it's great. You can even add the installer as a non-steam game to set it up, then add the game executable into Steam that same way once it's installed.

4

For me, maybe Razor from Maniac Mansion, even though I never made it more than ~30 mins into that game. My kid brain didn't understand the funny tingly feeling but years later I realized, "oh duh, hot punk babe".

There was also Princess What's-Her-Name, though she wasn't much of a character.

In terms of characters with actual detailed personality, the first big one was probably Rinoa from FF VIII. I was the same age as her when I played it.

Congrats, you may have learned something new about yourself today! That doesn’t happen every day.

Jean Grey was a big influence on me as a kid; redheads in spandex… I get it.

I thought I saw elsewhere in the thread that you're also on Team Quistis. She's great too 😄

oh i am a trepie but rinoa is one of my favourite ff characters ever (rinoa, yunie, aerith, lightning, and clive) :)

I was convinced, until the end of the game, there had to be some way to bring her back.

31

There was actually a method discovered relatively recently, which allows you to skip her death sequence entirely. Or rather, you force the death sequence to happen out of order, so she isn’t actually removed from your party when she should be. It’s obviously not intended, but it is possible to keep her alive. She doesn’t have any dialogue or cutscenes for the rest of the game, but it’s interesting that it’s possible.

11

I'm a little embarased to say--I mean I was a preteen boy at the time--but I spent way too many hours fantasizing and lusting over the picture of the Rogue class in the Diablo 1 manual.

Those pixelated succubus titties in the Hell stages were really something too. Kids today just don't know how desperate we were for even a hint of nudity.

See also, the other love of my young life, Samus Aran.

30

I recently did a single player story playthrough of the four numbered Diablo games, and I noticed that the succubi alternate between naked and clothed in each game.

  1. Naked
  2. Clothed
  3. Naked
  4. Clothed

So my prediction is that they will be naked again in D5, whenever that comes out.

Nah. I was squarely in that audience but my heart went more toward princess Marle and weirdly attractive blonde cavewoman Ayla. Luca was a cool pal though. And you can't deny those crits.

Yes, the game's art was done by Akira Toriyama.

Yes, his style was very unique, though almost all the women he drew have the same face lol.

Golden Axe was how I learned at the age of six that I was attracted to women. Used to squint at the CRT a lot to get a better view of that low res ass in that red and silver thong.

There are good movies. There are bad movies. Further down are movies that are so bad that they're good. And then ... There's Uwe Boll.

Ah i didn't know that Boll is responsible for those movies lol - his movies are trash, but sometimes fun to watch while sneering about the film.

2

Viconia (and to a lesser extent Jaheira) is the reason I always go for the snarky, jaded and cynical character whenever it's an option. She's the "I can fix her" meme except you actually can and it's amazing.

Innate spell resistance is hot.

Still mad about ::: spoiler spoiler Her appearance in bg3. I fixed her! She wasn't evil anymore in my game! :::

11

Yeah I was pretty upset about Larian for that one. One of the best and most nuanced characters in BG2 reduced to a brainless cartoon caricature. Same goes for

::: spoiler spoiler Sarevok, whose entire Throne of Bhaal arc is ignored along with his character. Honestly I hated the whole murder tribunal. :::

::: spoiler spoiler I'm still mad she freaking dies in the epilogue of BG2 if you romanced and redeemed her. Who thought that was a good idea for the ending to a hundred-hour character redemption arc? And how the hell does an epic-level cleric die to poison? :::

Viconia! Definitely my archetype. Strong and evil, but somehow vulnerable as well.

Like, I kinda get it based on her in game model, but not from that rendition.

Hell yeah!

TBH, Guybrush was kinda cute too, if you like complete fucking dorks.

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.

15

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 😊

15

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.

3

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.

5

Lt. Eva Lee from Red Alert 2. Yeah Tanya was hot too, but something about how Eva talked just made me swoon lol.

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.

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 - 😻

23

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

3

Shiva - You want to be stepped on

Funnily enough (though this may be what you're referring to) in FFXIV instead of shattering the ice by snapping her fingers, she steps on the head of one of the frozen players.

2

She was your first? God damn I’m getting old…

But also yeah, valid. The devs knew exactly what they were doing when they gave the main companion a traumatic past and daddy issues.

Zangief, there's just something about a guy with full bush on his shins.

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.

12

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…

2

same, always thought the animation kinda looked like Renee Zellweger too

The girl with the guitar from FLCL. I stayed up late to catch those episodes on adult swim back in the aughts.. Haruharu Haruko or something I think? Take me now. Though Rikku as above and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts came later on up there

Iris from Megaman X4, I legit got sad when Zero had to fight her, then that awful eng dub came on and I started laughing.

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.

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

I'm still kind of sad that we didn't get a heavy metal 2020. We got one in 1980, we got one in 2000. They should have released one in 2020. As a backup, they should have released one this year. As a backup, they should release one sometime. Come on, heavy metal people. Release another fucking movie.

5

I guess there were plans for one that turned into the Netflix show Love, Death, and Robots. Which I mean, has some great episodes, but it's no Heavy Metal. Not nearly enough titties and zero Loc-nar.

Tails, when I was maybe six? I had very confusing feelings about him.

Shameen from Quest for Glory.

Brandywine from Kyrandia.

Renamon.

I didn’t learn what a “furry” was until I was a young in the early 00s, many many years later.

Did she always have spiral pupils and a weird scar on her cheek?

3

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?

11

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.

Dustin Broke from The Sims 2. He tried to help his family while her stay-at-home mum is pregnant and her husband drown from a pool. I was rooting for him, even if he was a getaway driver.
