Still, Terra is kinda the link between all the other main characters when
you look right down to it, and her role in the story is central, if only due to
her connexion with the Espers. Certainly, it doesn't take anything away from other characters like Locke, the two brothers... it's just that the supportive cast
is so strong it's easy to consider there's no lead character, but she's still the main protagonist.

No offense, but it sounds to me like you are a bit insecure about your masculinity. I mean, what's the big deal about playing as a girl? It doesn't make you "gay". Your statement about Metroid only supports my point that having a female protagonist doesn't affect the gameplay. So why, exactly, does it bother you?
There are also lots of great modern games with female protagonists, like Mirror's Edge, Kameo: Elements of Power, Aquaria, No One Lives Forever, Dreamfall, Syberia, A Vampyre Story, Deathsmiles, Ms. Splosion Man, Bayonetta (my personal favorite game of this generation), Okami, ect.

I have no problem with games like Beyond Good & Evil and select female characters when given the option.

*Shrug* I just prefer to play games with guy characters. Is that a problem?
It's not like I'm being totally sexist or anything. After all, there are some games that I have where the lead character is a female.. like the previously mentioned Metroid, as well as Heavenly Sword on PS3.
I guess when I play most of my video games, I just like to imagine that I am that character, and I happen to find it much easier and more comfortable to do when they are male characters. Especially when they are super cool, like James Bond or Joe Musashi - I just want to be that guy!

I'm a guy, but I prefer playing as female characters, because most of the time they're alot more interesting to me then most male ones are. I think it's pretty silly to not like a game simply because of the main characters gender.

Oh and I actually prefer "realistic" FPS games to sci-fi, to me the whole "sci-fi" future story is used in WAAAYYYYYY too many games.

[QUOTE=Leo]My favorite genre would be racing (Particularly if it's a simulation). My least favorite would be a close tie between Japanese RPG's and one on one fighters.

Looks like you and I have similar tastes as this is almost exactly what I was going to say. To be specific, though, I would say that my favorites are very arcade-y racers like Burnout, Mario Kart, Outrun, etc.
