What would be the point of gimping female characters in a video game? It's just taking away choice. For this reason, almost no one does it. I can't think of any RPG's where women have significantly different stats.

So the point is not semi--realism , just anything female to be weaker?

Anything humanoid female.
I don't want people cheating. I understand that female spiders or lions sometimes are stronger than their male counterparts, but to use that as an excuse is BS.

>>3936081

I don't play games where the girls are bad ass boss bitches stronger than men. I have a penis, and self respect.

Have you considered playing a game for homosexuals like Baldur's Gate 3 or maybe FFXIV? Seems like it'd be more your speed. Or better yet, go to a gay board, or a gay porn site, or install Grindr or something. Work out your sexuality before gaying up boards like this.

If it was a spider taking on the form of a humanoid girl, it makes sense that it would lose its superior strength given the body it is inheriting. If it was a girl taking on the form of a spider, losing its humanoid feminine characteristics, sure I'll grant you your strength boost, but since Im talking humanoids, that really is besides the point.

>>3936112
>reddit dave rubin

You have to reference outside material because you can't defend your own homosexuality from being pointed out to you. I don't care about the gender percentages of tanks or strong characters in video games because I'm not gay. It just doesn't come up.

I can't think of any reason someone would be so desirous of more physically strong males in media that he would made a pedantic thread on an RPG board than if he were gay. It's pretty obvious. Don't try to gay-sass me when all you're doing is sassing your own gayness.

Women in the GBA era have less CON/Aid total than men.
What does that mean? That they usually lose spd from using the Steel/Silver weapons.
Generally everyone have 25 CON/Aid total where men have higher CON or evenly spread.
Women on the other hand have 20 total CON/Aid and they tend to have low CON and higher aid making them effectively more of a ferry support unit.
Though you have a one or 2 outliers but in general the GBA era of Fire Emblem is considered sexist/based.

You're very gay. Just come out of the closet already. Is it really that difficult to not constantly think about how there aren't enough burly men in your video game and that some characters would be better if they were burly men? Because that's gay.

You're gay. Admit it to yourself instead of repressing it all over /vrpg/.

>>3936484
>Is it really that difficult to not constantly think about how there aren't enough burly men in your video game and that some characters would be better if they were burly men?
Textbook projection.

>>3936454
Edward was CLEARLY a s0yb0y. He was a coward who was raised eating mushy applesauce and vegetables. Why else would Tellah be upset with his feminist daughter running after him?

All the other guy characters would be chewing on the flesh of imps and other creatures: they would get the proper nutrition and wouldn't become permanently debilitated after a shipwreck. So his frail weakness is canon, and he was never meant to be a tank in the first place.

>>3936484
Try harder.

>>3936489
I'm not the person who made the argument that he was opposed to any game that doesn't make its tank archetype character a burly man. It's not projection if I'm bringing up your behavior.

I noticed you haven't tried to dispute the point that you're a repressed homosexual and simply attack me personally. Listen to the fag inside of you already. He's trying to tell you something.

Expecting "manly women" to be replaced with muscular men is gay.

>>3936499
Yang got debilitated by the same shipwreck. And he needed special Fairy magic to heal up, unlike Edward

>>3936517
No, yang lost his memory and was found in Baron Town Inn with those two guards, under the influence of Golbez.
He ended up getting debilitated when he fucked with the babel tower after killing the dark imps, in a huge explosion; that debilitated him. The shipwreck was nothing to him, seeing he was tip top shape fighting you.

Did you happen to get shipwrecked too because your memory is about as good as his.

>>3936511
>over 90% of men are gay
That's some fucked up homo fag logic.

You can make up numbers and people who agree with you all you want; the fact is that you care about the lack of representation of muscular men in video games, which is very gay.

>>3936574
>the fact is that you care about the lack of representation of muscular men in video games, which is very gay.
Why is it gay to have media where men are strong and women are weak? Are you jewish, by any chance?

>>3936578
The distinction here is that you are fetishizing the aspect of having strong men, the obsession with which is gay. You still haven't said anything against this idea that you are gay. For all anybody in this very gay thread knows you could just be a gay man trying to seduce normal RPG fans into wanting more gay agenda in RPGs. With threads like this you are simply grooming people.

You cannot argue against the idea that you are gay because you are. There is no need for personal attacks and distractions when you could just admit that you are gay. Stop denying it.

>Rather the story here is more about him being so pathetic that he is weaker than the women in this game.

>>3936587
Just answer instead of begging the question you lazy kike. Is it gay to have masculine men and feminine females in media or not?

>>3936653
That's not the question we have been arguing. You decided to retreat from defending your desire to only have strong muscular men as tank characters for your own gay ends. I don't understand why it's so hard to admit that you're gay and that that lived experience informs your desire to not have women play the tank archetype in video games. It would be very brave and strong for your case for gay representation if you talked about how isolated and angry you feel when you have to see female tank characters.

>>3936598
Not a samefag and the point is you've gone off and moved the goalposts like 69 times to cope

oh, now this is a topic I like. Too bad some "allies" decided to latch onto it.

Anyway, I've liked the concept of weaker females since Gothic. After playing through it I wanted to start again as a female, like I did in Morrowind, but couldn't even though the main character has no personality. I figured it was because women are weaker but, no, screw that. Let me play a female and give me the same stats as one of those slave girls. I'll still beat the game.

But it's too bad that no game lets you play as a weaker female underdog. Even in games where you can have low strength it still doesn't matter since you can just go dexterity/agility and still be good in melee or with bows.

That said, I might like if girls had other advantages besides some arbitrary dex/magic bonus. Something like girls having a party size of 6 compared to guys with 4 or maybe girls have a 2 frame faster recovery time after dodging and such since they're lighter and so have less momentum. Maybe they're just small and so have a smaller hitbox and nothing else.

And no, I'm not counting high difficulty games that only let you play a female. There's no context if you can't play a male as well.

>>3936753
That is not the debate. Nobody ever said anything about that except you when you got beaten on the fact you are a huge fag. Stop running away from your sexuality.

>>3936686
You are arguing like a jew. Clearly there is a letter of the OP, and a spirit of the OP. The spirit of the OP isn't talking about 5 year olds or frail princes or old men, obviously, but you be like,
>well all of new york is my living room if I run a string around the entire city

As in, there are no circumstances that Rydia, Rosa, or the twins can outstrength Cecil.

>shitty game
Its an excellent and iconic 1992 game.

>>3936772
You sound exactly like a bot beat for beat btw.

>>3936783
Every attempt to personally attack me is another confirmation you are making to yourself that you are gay. You choose not to admit it, but it's the truth. You will wake up and still be a fag tomorrow.

>>3936757
Absolutely.
Like in FF4, I like the idea that Rydia is a summoner;
When facing the men who murdered her parents, her only recourse is to scream and call an titan to create a massive rift in the ground causing a natural disaster. She is then left helpless, and is kidnapped by cecil, dragged across a desert to an oasis, and kind of have to make a gamble, that she is safest with a dark knight who only killed her parents, but refuses to kill her.

>since Gothic
Never heard of it.

In regards to actual roleplaying, yeah the smaller hitbox for sure. They shouldnt be "faster": women tend to be clumsy like picrel, and dexterity is kind of bullshit if you are dealing with archery damage. Their way of attacking people is through things like gossip, or getting other men to do their bidding. "Charm" attacks, or casting "spells" kind of fits the bill.

>>3936786
>Every attempt to personally attack me
I'm not talking to a person lol.

>>3936793
Then why insult what you believe is not a person? It is a sign that you are insecure about this subject that even a simulacrum of a person's speech calling you gay can rankle you to the point of attack.

You can live in denial if you want. But you can't deny your true self. You are a gay man.

>it's easy is you use a guide

>>3938033
You don't need to use a guide. You just need to realize early on that the devs are constantly going to try and fuck with you and make your life miserable and approach the game accordingly. Most people who get their shit pushed in by Dragon Filter get rekt because they're approaching the game like a traditional JRPG.
If you haven't realized how you're supposed to play the game by the time you reach the 3v3 poison fight in town, then you are going to be SOL restarting whether you like it or not.

Literally all you have to do is spend resources. DQ is a game that requires you to use both items and your limited transformation liberally. You can't beat the final boss while hoarding 99 elixirs.
