Chihiro Fushimi in Persona 3 captured my heart. The interesting thing is that she nearly perfectly resembles someone who goes to my school in reality.
I think Reno from Final Fantasy VII always appealed to me so I'll say him. And Leon from Resident Evil coz his one liners are pure comedy gold
And for girls I'd say that redhead from Heavenly Sword. I have a thing for redheads

I'm not "in love" with any videogame character, but I have affection for them, or I think they're hot, like Meryl in MGS4. Or even Kairi in Kingdom Hearts.
I'm going to take a guess and say that it's because they're cuter, cleaner, and somewhat classier (ok, many of them are rather slutty, I mean classy compared to many western female characters).TheSanityAssassin said:
Also that JRPGs tend to have a certain artstyle that makes everyone seem more attractive, and they usually come with a lot of dialogue and script attatched.A random person said:
Not so much with Western RPGs. They tend to use NPCs as vehicles. I've not felt any remote emotional attatchment to any character in a western RPG save for Ahnassi in Morrowind, and that's only because she was such a sweetheart to the player. AFter her quests were done she became cardboard cutout #47478
No coz... Well all male game characters look like lumps of muscle and hair and tbh... Not attractive.
Ms. Pacman is a head with legs...essentially, a walking blowjob. Nothin' bad about that...though, she'd probably be a chatter. I:<Mister Benoit said:
Do video game characters really even have that much personality?
Even in RPGs I haven't noticed it...atleast definitely not enough to feel some kind of "connection" with.
Anime characters I could possibly understand, at a push. Like that Japanese guy who wanted to be married to Mikuru Asahina from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Creepy shit.

Most extreme example: by the time I'd finished playing Tsukihime, I'd developed a strong crush on each of the heroines in turn, during their respective story routes. I attribute it to me being somewhat overemotional and the game being just that good. Elsewhere...previous example aside, it's rare, and I can really only think of two examples: Colette Brunel from Tales of Symphonia and Saber from Fate/Stay Night.
Colette just clicked with me. I'm not really sure what it is. Maybe her friendliness and selflessness made her endearing, the resultant psychological problems made her more human, and as a result, seeing her grow was wonderful. Maybe it was the fact that she was pretty damn useful in combat, and an interesting variation on a character type. Maybe it was the fact that she just looks so huggable. For whatever reason, I grew attached to her very quickly... but since I could see what was coming, the first part of the game was kinda painful as a result.
Saber is less of a mystery. She's just characterized unbelievably well, she's the heroine of the game's first route (and the one I really got attached to...though Sakura came close), she's damned badass, and she's quite cute and sexy with her hair down (the only area she loses to Sakura). Her sex scene near the end of the Fate route was easily the best Nasu's ever written (he's got a reputation for some pretty bad stuff, too).

And when she actually lost her soul, beating the unholy shit out of that angelic son-of-a-***** Remiel was immensely therapeutic in the short term.

Killing her near the end of Heaven's Feel, even though she had long since turned evil, was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do in a game. I actually froze for about a minute, because I couldn't bring myself to go on.
you say it's impossible, then it's unhealthy.ZZoMBiE13 said:
it is very possible, and it's definitely not healthy.
I've admitted it before... not while I was infatuated.. that might have been weird.. but once I got over it and could laugh about it, I told everyone..Exosus said:
but yeah, it was definitely a "wtf am I thinking?" time in my life, lol
