[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"] The newest FF game (the PSP one) is full of guys like that.SparkyProtocol

Blame Square Enix with this fail attempt at Bishonen.

I don't think it's smart to ever stereotype an art sty1e because there are so many variants one type of art sty1e.

It's just a difference in culture. Japan has a broader view of what can make a male attractive.

But most Final Fantasy males are'nt effeminate. Squall wasn't. Cloud wasn't. Zidane wasn't.

[QUOTE="Yandere"]

Oh wow, I've never seen any JRPG haters using that one character as an example.

I'm just going to use this image from a manga, because the guy is feminine.

Yandere

ok. but doesn't change the fact that he's effeminate. that was the point i was trying to make. japanese games are full of effeminate males, girls with massive alien eyes, and generally weird eccentric crap.

Those are all stereotypes, once you've played more then 50 JRPGs and watched/read over 50 anime/manga you might have a right to say that.

But now, you don't know anything about the genre/art sty1e.

i can't even play one jrpg or read one manga, what the hell makes you think i'm interested in trying 50 of each. btw, all stereotypes are based on reailty.

If you can't then don't act like you have enough knowledge to talk about about it.

And stereotypes are, but to what extent matters..

There are Bishonen characters, there are light hearted comedy JRPGs/Manga/Anime, there are 'big' eyed characters. But none of those things can be taken to such an extreme as a stereotype if you actually know the genre.. I can show a image from a manga to debunk every stereotype you have brought up.

wtf?

Bishōnen is a Japanese term literally meaning "beautiful youth (boy)"WikiPedia

so now they're effeminate pedophiles??? seriously, japanese people are messed up.

Do you know what a pedophile is? :roll: Bishounen are characters Japanese girls fantasize about lol.

I'm not going to look up 10, but here are 3. Maybe I'll post another 3 later.

They look like guys ... ._.; They act like guys. They are guys.

If you want to see a guy that looks feminine see the main character of End of Eternity by Tri-Ace. He looks like a porcelain doll.

Companies? :?

Anyway I don't have a prefrence as all are perfectly capable of making great games in a distinctly diffrent and creative way from the others. I can just as easily enjoy a well madeFPS asI could a well designedJRPG. My taste in games is far too varied to actually have a prefrence of where the game is made.

But Final Fantasy characters aren't really good examples. The FF artstyle is more realistic than that of a lot of JRPGs, so it has more obvious sexual dimorphism in its character designs.

Japanese Developers make most of my favorite games, my vote goes to them.AgentA-Mi6

Well my favorite games are American so I chose the latter. But I still love European games its techincially a tie for me. As for Japanese games MEH all of their characters are wierd looking (just like anime) very generic stories (most of them anyway). Although I will give them credit for certain games (Mario etc..)

european, because of a little company called Rare that just so happened to have made some of the greatest classics ever known to the industry.

AMERICAN FTW! No doubt about it then again im not a big RPG fan and japan has the best stuff for that overall.

Since many people say the Japanese characters look the same and effeminite... So much of Western variation too. XDdouble_heist

Don't forget:

Last generation possibly Japan. The FF's, Marios, Zelda's and MGS's were so increadible

This generation is America. Most of my game library is American games, and my pc game ... duh. Itouch games are also american.

I guess it's due to the fact that for me Japanese Developers this generation, haven't really hit with Truley original, unique and epic new I.P's

For me, Right now it would be:

1) European

2) American

3) No love for the japanese games and developers

I don't actually care really.

At any given time I'm playing any genre of game from any of those three territories.

I can't even name a single great game from Europe.... most games come from the USA

Doesn't matter to me as long as the game is good I'm happy.

Some of Sony's big hitters this gen have been European. Killzone 2 and LBP. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is from the UK and you could argue between this and LBP Europe has released the most creative titles this generation. When you add on GTA IV, Burnout Paradise, Fable II, Project gotham series, Crysis and the Dice, Battlefield games you can see that Europe generally caters for a very wide audience.

There is some variation;

[QUOTE="OPuniverse"]Wheres Britannian on that list? anyways, i prefer all of them as long as they are willing to dish out the games i want to play.herzalot

It is indeed, my friend, it is indeed.

That's tough. My favorite developer is Canadian(Bioware), but Japan has Capcom, and America makes most of the FPSs I like(excluding Ubisoft Montreal which is also Canadian. Canada should really be on that poll.

I like great games so i dont care from which region they're coming from...

I like devs (games)from all regions...
