Lt. Eva Lee from Red Alert 2. Yeah Tanya was hot too, but something about how Eva talked just made me swoon lol.

I remember when I played ff10 thinking "Rikku is kind of hot", and then reading she's 15 in the fiction. 17 in the sequel where she's even more naked. Nope. Why? Unnecessary. Just make her an adult!

At least ff7 Tifa is 20, which is still a little young. I didn't have a big crush on her, but I did think her suplexing building sized monsters was hot.

Babette from Cosmic Fantasy 2.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 is the only game in the Cosmic Fantasy series that ever saw a North America release. It was released on the Turbografx 16 CD, which is the game system my mom bought me when she bought my older brother and younger sister of Super NES and a Sega Genesis.

She figured buying each of us a different game system would mean that we would share and collaborate, but nobody wanted to play my role-playing game, and they didn't want to let me play Sonic or Mario, so I sat down and played Cosmic Fantasy II from beginning to end.

It was the first role-playing game I ever beat, it was the first role-playing game I had ever seen with full-motion video, it was a really good story, and yeah, the introduction of Babette was a full-motion anime video of her taking a shower in a space ship, which was fantastic to preteen me.

Zangief, there's just something about a guy with full bush on his shins.

I scrolled pretty far and didn't see a single mention of Marle from Chrono Trigger (or I'm blind). Needles to say, she was mine. I've always had a thing for redheads 😊

First was probably Marie:

Chun Li from Street Fighter 2

Then turned into Millena and Kitana in a lesbian video.

Kairi from Kingdom Hearts! She had a massive glow up between KH1 and KH2.

(Alistair from Dragon Age Origins)

"What would you do without me, Kyle?"

"I'd be a content old man!"

"Somehow I don't see content or an old man."

Rydia (as an adult!)

Let's see who is as old as I am.

The girl with the guitar from FLCL. I stayed up late to catch those episodes on adult swim back in the aughts.. Haruharu Haruko or something I think? Take me now. Though Rikku as above and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts came later on up there

Zoe Payne in SSX Tricky

I think for me, the only female I remember in a video game was the princess in the arcade version (because consoles didn’t exist yet) of Donkey Kong. And she seemed kinda cute, for a blob of coloured pixels.

Much later, I do remember being quite entranced by Lara Croft’s walk in Tomb Raider… I think that was the first time I thought a computer generated female looked attractive. Honestly, the image quality was still horrible but they nailed that walk.

Those are the two little me was staring at quite often. Not quite a crush more of an attraction

lara croft. i used to play that game by just jumping around the tutorial mansion level 🤣

Iris from Megaman X4, I legit got sad when Zero had to fight her, then that awful eng dub came on and I started laughing.

that craft woman. you know, from the grave robber series

Ms. Pac-Man. Those curves…
