Samus Aran (Other M was cancelled. I remember it vividly).
Also, Female Commander Shepard. Proof that a woman can be just as awesome as a man and need little to no changes in dialogue script.
What makes headbutting a Krogan even more awesome? When a badass auburn haired vixen is doing it...

Samus, until her most unfortunate demise in the newest Metroid game.
No, that isn't a spoiler, it simply killed her career.
Also, does femshep from Mass Effect count? She should.

That's because Tifa and Aeris are stereotypical JPRG characters. They've inspired nothing, except maybe the death of a thousand teenager's socks...pulse2 said:I'm suprised no one said TifaOr Aerith yet, usually they always come up in female gaming related topics, lol.
Times have changed, yes they have
Oni, from the excellent Bungie (pre-Halo) PS2 game...Called Oni!
Awesome action adventure with an interesting story.

Every main character since FFX (not counting the online ones), they're all girls right?
I'm not sure if the female Shepherd role fits exactly since the male Shepherd does the exact same things (maybe not exact same dialog but same end to the means).
I would have to go with Princess Peach anyway, I mean she was the entire point of Mario right? That's pretty influential.

Lara Croft- even if you don't like her, you can't deny she's influential and an icon, enough of one to warrant 2 movies.
Samus- The strong, can kill Ridley immediately upon seeing him type, not the weak submissive Elektra complex type.
Fem Shep- She's essentially the same as her Male Counterpart, just with boobs, and the opportunity to bed Garrus.(So that makes her superior) I think it's because that they didn't change the script to "girlify" it, that's what makes Shepard such a great female character. Or maybe it's the fact that it's Jennifer Hale doing her voice.
Bonnie MacFarlane- She's one of the most genuinely nice people in Red Dead, and she doesn't get shoehorned into being a love interest or entering a stupid Love Triangle. A strong, likable character who happens to be female. Hell, if she played more of a role in the game's story she'd probably top this list.
Elena Fisher- She does kinda get shoehorned into being a love interest, but she sidesteps that by being an actually useful and well written character.
Madison Page- I'm not sure what it is about Madison, she does kinda get exploited in the game and she takes the role of a love interest, but there's just something about her that makes me think of her as an influential female character. Maybe, like Elena, it's because she actually does stuff, oh and she has several escape sequences that would make James Bond blush.

Anyone but Samus. I'm really quite sick of people calling Samus "strong" or "influential". A strong influential character should be so because they have a good character, not because they do what a male character does with extra boobs. Which is exactly what Samus does.
I'd have to say, as far as videogaming itself is concerned, Lara Croft is one of the most influential, for better or worse. For my gaming, though, I think I'd be tempted to say Tali, which I will breifly summarise with she was an easy choice in Mass Effect 2, and I was disappointed she wasn't a romance option in the first game.
Been a while, I guess I forgot her name was KonokoT0MMYSNIPER said:
I just remembered and thought it was Oni for some reason
Which is exactly my argument against FemShep =/hazabaza1 said:
But thats just my opinion of course.
heh I got the box on hand, Oni is actually Japanese for demon I think? Great game all the same if not frustrating as hell ^^BioHazardMan said:Been a while, I guess I forgot her name was KonokoT0MMYSNIPER said:
