Support NeoGAF

[taizuke]

Whether it's a Japanese or a western game, what other games feature an attractive female protagonist like in Stellar Blade. Keyword being protagonist.

To me, Stellar Blade is rare in what it's doing, but maybe I'm not aware of other games. So, that's where you guys come in.

Criteria:

* Name a game or more that feature a hot/attractive Female Protagonist.

* Feel free to post a picture of the game cover or character (greatly appreciated).

* All platforms allowed except for mobile.

* Game must have been released in the last 5 years. 2019 and up.

P.S. Inb4 the Aloy memes. lol

Japanese equivalent to the Assassin's Creed series, but the art style is very cute.

No mobile kills this question pretty dead in its tracks. That's where all fanservice games have been pushed to, and now the western "modern audience" squad is aiming at them too. The male lead of Lies of P is a better looking female than 95% of western developed games.

Here's one, I guess:

Buy games made by Japanese, Korean, or some Chinese developers.
Sadly a lot of the games are lootbox GAaS these days. But there are still a few that aren't. As the Palworld developers said, they made their character creation have ugly options because Americans like that sort of thing. But Asians know fantasy is fantasy and they demand beauty, even for the male characters.

Skyrim is only popular in China when it is beautified first with mods. In Asia people want to see pretty things.

That's the sad part, I struggle to think of any. There has not been enough in recent years.

Every Yakuza game and spin off

Basically all Asian games

Granblue Fantasy Relink just came out...

Original vs. Sony'd version (not to mention the safety shorts they added in the 3D model)

Added black brastrap because that last half inch would have been TOO sexy.

And before all the staunch defenders start tapping on your keyboards to tell me "It's so little it doesn't MATTER!!!!" - That's exactly my point. It's so small of a change, a thing that nobody would have said a word if they hadn't done a thing, so why did they feel the need to do it? Also, before anyone chimes in with "they're doing it to comply with a specific age rating bla bla bla", both of these characters are "uncensored" for the original fighting game, which got the same exact age rating.

I just can't support wanton censorship like this. And don't get me started on the localization.

So this is why so many girls seem to dress up as waifus nowadays.

I agree that theses very small censorship is so unnecessary but I have been waiting for this game for a very long time, this not enough for me to skip the game.

But it also begs the question is Sony going to do the same with Stella Blade? Especially the fact Sony themselves is publishing the game.

I honestly hate Sony this gen.

 

[MikeM]

Not even one mention of the OG

I hope people take notice. We want ass.

Yep I get your point, and the game seems to be doing well, so my "not buy" is like removing a drop of water from the ocean. I guess there is just a point where I felt like it's just too much. The pantsu straw that broke the camel's back, as it were. Probably aggravated somewhat by a bunch of other recent Cygames decisions that rubbed me the wrong way, after being a big fan for years prior.

I know your frustration, I feel same frustration with Sony this gen, their first party game is no longer interest me and their selection has become boring as fuck….at this point the only reason I own PS5 because of 3rd party games.

that must've been an interesting wedding

 

[semiconscious]

hate's a strong word. but, yeah, there's absolutely been little to like this gen, imo. afa the graphics tweaking stuff? it definitely requires a certain kind of obsessive small minded 'concern', which sony currently seems to support/encourage for whatever reason...

I'm glad I waited on to buy this. I wonder if Persona 3 Reload has the same issues

I guess I'm going to have to wait 2 to 3 years till there are mods out and by than I can get these games for super cheap. I'm not buying this at full price

Not sure about outfits/designs, but localization? I'll let you be the judge:

Man these Fuckers are sneaky as hell

That's a discussion for a different topic though, a "black bra-strap" isn't going to make a hot female suddenly not be hot, which is the question of the OP/topic.

Fair, I did travel a bit far into a tangent.

That's still a turn off for me though

The fact that they had to censor the outfit in little ways is infuriating

This has what to do with Sony?

Nier Automata

I love 2B but the game came out in 2017.

Here's one, I guess:

What's the name of the game? Been trying that title in the bottom left corner and nothing.

My precious waifu.

I love Kat as well but Gravity Rush 2 was 2018 I think.

Not even one mention of the OG

It's not about the OGs. It's about trying to see how many hot female protagonists are in video games in the last 5 years.

Something tells me is going down because they are deemed "problematic".

 

[GymWolf]

Ada in the dlc of re4 remake

 

[mejin]

 

[AJUMP23]

Balders gate 3 has attractive characters.

 

[Pejo]

That's Miriam from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the kickstarted game from Castlevania's Koji Igarashi (guy behind for Symphony of the Night). Very worth a purchase.

Also Shantae and the Seven Sirens came out in 2019 as well, which barely makes your 5 year cutoff.

 

[Ferdimage]

 

[chlorate]

League of Legends can be counted on to deliver waifus on a regular basis.

Hades 2 seems to have one

Dead by Daylight has a lot of skins for the female characters, even if they’re not too revealing.

Then, of course, there’s Genshin Impact, that game is also packed full of waifus

 

[Shifty1897]

I bet that belt stinks.

[Vick]

Protagonist?
Not sure I've seen any as "hot" as that, especially when hot is usually equated with naked anime weirdness and I don't play those kind of games. Claire Redfield in RE2 Remake maybe?

I'll tell you I was extremely attracted to Forbidden West protagonist with the Tenakth Reaver armor, to the point I legit got distracted multiple times.

Some more:

They even gave her fully modeled boobs and nipples, but last time I posted those pics I was banned so I'm not going to risk.
