Kisai 06/08/18 3:23:11 AM #8:	eggcorn posted... Like why shouldn't my girlfriend be able to make a character that she relates to? It depends. Is it a character that has a set name, personality, storyline, etc. like Cloud, Squall, Geralt, Kratos, et al? Or is the character intended to be a reflection of the player? Because if it's something like The Ghostbusters video game, where they make it a point that the player is supposed to be the newbie, then I agree. It's bullshit you can't play as a girl in that. --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:902757467] in Why, in 20...

legendarylemur 06/08/18 4:30:05 PM #27:	All you have to do is compare Fates/Awakening to Echoes in the Fire Emblem series. The former has self insert bullshit that gets everything handed to them on a platter, the other has a relateable down-to-earth hero that has to overcome a lot of hardship and work his way from the bottom. Also the former has character customization and the latter does not.
