Ah JRPG women: stand the fuck up please

Playing Star Ocean 4. I loves me my JRPGs but FUCK! The women in JRPGs make me want to stick a pencil in my eyes and ears. Or rather in the eyes and ears of the designer and voice actress who came up with this crapola.

Srsly: the main female lead in Star Ocean talks to the guy by bending over, placing one hand on her hip, the other finger is waggling at him and head tilted to the side. She looks like a playful puppy that is going to piddle on the floor. Stand the fuck up. You are supposed ot be an officer.

It also bothers me that the main character is 18 and (SPOILER!) is Captain of his own future tech ship. Fuck off. 6 months earlier he wouldn't be able to enlist. Today he's running the whole show. I call bullshit. Older gamers unite! We won't stand for this ageism!!  Then again, I suppose it's just one of the rules of Anime: Never send a man to do a boy's job. We will get it done in half the time and twice the angst.  There is a kid who is supposed to be 6. Erica talks more intelligently than she does.

Ah Mass Effect. You have ruined me for RPGs. Now I expect quality story with decent mature characters. Sigh.  That being said it ain't all bad. If you like jrPGs it's worth a pick up. Stay tuned for the whole First Impressions thingie.

What else? Getting psyched for Lan, it's gonna be an odd state of affairs. So far LB has said that if my bewbs look like Charisma Carpenters' then expect to have him forceably removed from my hoobs by Sunday. Problem is I look EXACTLY like Ms Marvel... I think I'm screwed.  I need people to run interferance for me.  I plan to steal all of Caesar's Red Bull. He'll never suspect me. I'm FAR too innocent looking. Haha. It's a foolproof plan.
