The Top 16 Androgynous Game Characters of All Time!| Features | Games.net

Okay, I will defend to the death that Bridget is a girl. I don't care what you, Arc System Works, or even the video game gods say. I'll bring you all on!

[Xanatos]

Link looks goddamn awful on that picture, still, I don't think he deserves a place on this list. Leo and Bridget should swap places, the first time I saw Leo I actually though he was a girl (damn that Japanese style, it's so deceiving). I'm also surprised not to see Kuja among them, he would be top ranked.

[Jin]

I love how long hair + no facial hair = androgynous. Did anyone actually mistake Link or Alucard for a woman?

That being said, Bridget totally deserved to win. Sorry, chief, but dude looks like a lady. Or lady looks like a dude. I'm not sure which.

And in the world of not video games:

Why, Mana?! Why did you deceive me?!

[loaf]

Bridget is a guy and if you think he is a girl then you need to ask yourself some questions over night.

Surprised Yoshi and Birdo weren't on there.

You know, Yoshi licks and Birdo...doesn't.

[Rydia Lover]

this was pretty stupid, many of these had no place at all on this list.

does the writier not realise that vega is from spain, and that he is waering matador pants?

does he also not realise that alucard is from 14th century europe, therefore wearing period clothing.

does he not realize that aerosmith has probably gotten layed with more women in the last week then he will in his whole life!?

instead of toad, they probably would have made the list more interesting by putting birdo on the list who is a guy (and likely gay too as he is in love with yoshi).

it just seems that whoever wrote this article didnt really think too much before writing this

[Nunubx]

They put out the top 16 androgynous game sharacters and there's not even a speck of Ash Crimson?!?! Ash is a hell alot more androgynous then King ever was. Don't believe me? Here's a pic of him.

If that doesn't scream shemale, i don't know what does.

[SOLDIER #819]

Is Bridget really androgynous? He's leaning pretty far on the girly side. If that's really the case then I-No deserved a place on that list.

AND KUJA.

Edit: Wow Nunubx, good find.

[Jin]

^ Also a good point.

Androgyny is more something in the middle than a guy that looks like a girl or a girl that looks like a guy, no?

[SOLDIER #819]

I had to look up the definition to double check. One that they give is, "having an ambiguous sexual identity," which sort of threw me off since it's so vague. Not sure that cross-dressing (oh so, so well) would make you androgynous. Hmm...

Who is Mana?

[Nunubx]

Thanks, SOLDIER #819, it just pisses me off that the list would write King as androgynous(who doesn't even look anything like a man) and not list Ash.
Also, if you think that Vega, Yugi Moto, Alucard, or Link look anything like a female then you need to sell your copy of Gears of War and go buy 5 Jrpg's.


Also,where is Kuja?! I mean, if there's anyone who deserves to be on that list, it's him.

true, who ever wrote this article most likely has an xbox or a 360 and has probably never played a japanese inspired game before

Come again?

Who is Mana?

From Malice Mizer, a J-rock band. And a man.

[SOLDIER #819]

This Mana guy is looking fine! No doubt he is your Bridget. I hope you will be very happy together.

It does seem pretty apparent that whoever wrote the list is missing large, notorious chunks of various game genres. Oh well.

[smurphy]

When I think of androgynous characters the first name that always comes to mind is Larsa.

[loaf]

When I think of androgynous characters the first name that always comes to mind is Larsa.

Larsa is a 12 year old boy.

Larsa is a 12 year old boy.

i dont understand why people think men either have a cross dressing problem or a homosexual tendancy just because they wear tights

[Jin]

i dont understand why people think men either have a cross dressing problem or a homosexual tendancy just because they wear tights

Because gender is a cultural construct and in this case, culture says that men don't wear tights. Except for Robin Hood and his men.

[GypsyElder]

I'm also surprised not to see Kuja among them, he would be top ranked.

I'm surprised I didn't see Kuja in there.

Also If Kirby is in there, so should Zorn and Thorn.

I've always thought of Kirby as a boy, what just because he's pink he might be a girl? poor Kirby.

[DragonHeart]

Kuja is not on this list, therefore it is invalid.

Seriously, the game is ten years old and there are still people out there who think he's a girl. He's pretty much the definition of androgynous, imo.

And this may say more about me than the person who wrote the list but I didn't have a hard time identifying the listed characters' genders. I'm surprised the they didn't just list all the characters who are actually referred to as 'it' or are otherwise just not intended to have a definitive gender either way. Like Quina.

Maybe I just watch too much anime and/or play too many JRPGs, hah. (Which is probably true either way.)

~DragonHeart~

[Dodie16]

Because gender is a cultural construct and in this case, culture says that men don't wear tights. Except for Robin Hood and his men.

And professional wrestlers.

Of all the androgynous-looking Final Fantasy characters, they went with Luneth? I guess I see it a little, but there are others who look WAY more androgynous than him. I agree that Kuja could be up there, since he does have those curvy hips, but has anyone thought about Emperor Mateus? He looks rather feminine. Also, Sorceress Adel could rank high in the list.

Since they have non-human characters listed, I would go with the Mr. Saturns from the Mother series. Yeah, they have "Mr." in thier names, but there's gotta be some females in the group!

[loaf]

Sorceress Adel is female, cause of you know the word, "Sorceress".

Her name isn't Sorcerer Adel.

[Dodie16]

I know that, but she still looks rather man-ish to me. If you show that picture to someone who never played FF VIII, I'm pretty sure that they would say that Adel was a man.

[GypsyElder]

Sorceress Adel is female, cause of you know the word, "Sorceress".

Her name isn't Sorcerer Adel.

When I played for the first time, I think I was in the 7th grade...I thought Adel was male. I remember because I had such a hard time with the battle at Lunatic Pandora.

[SOLDIER #819]

Adel threw me off. I wonder if they rendered her maleish just so they could get away with strapping Rinoa to her bare chest. But at this point I'm not sure you could say she's androgynous... Or maybe? Could you even call her a hermaphrodite??

[loaf]

Meh Adel's face look is more of the body builder type. ;p

[Nunubx]

I agree that Kuja could be up there, since he does have those curvy hips, but has anyone thought about Emperor Mateus? He looks rather feminine.

There's a reason he's called the Emperor, Dodie.

Also, Sorceress Adel could rank high in the list.

Same thing with Sorceress Adel.

Ps: is that Rinoa? if it is then thanks Dodie for spoiling a huge part of VIII for me . I still love you though.

Since they have non-human characters listed, I would go with the Mr. Saturns from the Mother series. Yeah, they have "Mr." in thier names, but there's gotta be some females in the group!

The Mr. Saturns are aliens...so, yeah...

[Dodie16]

There's a reason he's called the Emperor, Dodie.

It doesn't matter what title he carries, he still has very effeminate features, and I would think him as being a suitable pick.

Same thing with Sorceress Adel.

I KNOW.

I'm just saying that she looks like a he, and there are others that think/thought the same.

I pointed those two out because to me, they would be more suitable for placing on that list than Luneth.

Ps: is that Rinoa? if it is then thanks Dodie for spoiling a huge part of VIII for me . I still love you though.

It's not a big part of the story. Just some battle you have to go through that is a pain in the ass if you aren't careful.

The Mr. Saturns are aliens...so, yeah...

I just pointed them out because other people were pointing out things like Yoshi, Birdo and Quina.

So, yeah...

[Nunubx]

Oh, I get what you're saying Dodie and I even agree on Adel because when I first her in the pic, I thought she was a man. I made the same mistake when I first saw Ash Crimson. If you want a pic of him, just look for my first post for the thread.

[Alpha]

Luneth wears a fanny pack, a belt shirt, white skinny jeans, a purple neck sweater and has platinum blond hair. Totally androgynous, Dodie. Far more than Mateus and Adel, at any rate.

[Meigumi]

But still, Luneth doesn't wear make-up. Nothing about him is really annoying, either. He's just wearing clothes! I mean, heck. Ingus is wearing a tunic that we all know resembles a dress without a belt. xD And he didn't end up in the list.

He has a great sense of justice, and his freelancer look is fine enough for a 15 year old boy.


Are we going to talk about masculine men or annoying characters?
