Inspired by [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=368372&highlight=sexiest+comic) thread. I’m sure there’ll be quite a few of the old standbys, but I suspect this’ll at least as fertile ground as comics. I’ll start things off with my undisputed favourite at the moment–it’s hard to think someone might displace her any time soon, but y’never know: **The Boss** , from Metal Gear Solid 3. There’s just something about a strong woman. I don’t suppose she has what counts as ‘classic’ good looks, but I’ve never been much for those anyway… Also from the MG games, Fortune and Vamp would have to be on my list–although the latter is a tiny bit creepy, and both, I think, have, um… issues. But they’re still wicked hawt. 😃 ---

> [@Lemur Catta](#): > > **The Boss** , from Metal Gear Solid 3. There’s just something about a strong woman. I don’t suppose she has what counts as ‘classic’ good looks, but I’ve never been much for those anyway… Wow! I can’t believe this is your first choice. It’s mine too, in fact, I started a whole thread about this at some point. The Boss is definitely the sexiest Metal Gear woman ever. Try telling that to any other MG fans though. They prefer the stereotypically hot ones. ---

At the end of the game she pretty much becomes the stereotypical hot babe. Marc ---

I figure _some_one has to say Lara Croft around this point. So yes. Personal picks: Sora (aged a couple of years) and/or Riku from _Kingdom Hearts_ 1 and 2; Mitsurugi and Raphael from _Soul Caliber_; Cloud, Vincent, and Sephiroth from _Final Fantasy_. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > I figure _some_one has to say Lara Croft around this point. So yes. New Lara from Tomb Raider Legend, specifically. She’s all curvy, with in and out bits that are all… Inny and outie. And advanced boobiejiggletronics! ---

I’ll nominate Fall-from-Grace, out of Planescape: Torment. And I don’t even like blondes. ---

Selphie, Selphie, Selphie! Honorable Mentions for Rinoa, Terra (FFVI), and Kairi (Kingdom Hearts). Let’s just pretend the last one is four years older. ---

Jessica from Dragon Quest VIII - I’m not normally a breast man, but…oh my god, her bosom is hypnotic. Yuffie from FFVII and Rikku from FFX - they’re…cute. So very cute. Rikku in X-2, not so much. I have an unholy attraction to Tira from Soul Cal III. She’s hot, she’s scary, and…and…do I really need another reason? And she’s the only character in the game who looks good in both of base her outfits. Although Talim (who’s also a cutey, but not near as hot) doesn’t look too bad in either of hers. And on the male side… Sephie, of course (Kingdom Hearts version, please.) and Siegfried from Soul Cal are absolutely beautiful men. ---

> [@Tengu](#): > > Sephie, of course (Kingdom Hearts version, please.) For a second there I thought you were talking about Se **l** phie who is like 10 in that game. Very cute, but not sexy. KH Sephiroth is one pretty man though… ---

I feel like I’m going to be the odd one out here, but I’ll say Hana Tsu-Vachel from _Fear Effect_. ---

Heh…I realised it could be misread way too late. \<_\< Especially annoying since ‘Sephie’ can refer to both by context. \<_\< > [@](#): > > KH Sephiroth is one pretty man though… Yis. He definitely is. ---

Since I’m currently looking at her and none of the undoubtedly amazing ladies you’re suggesting, my vote will go to Alyx of Half-Life 2. Smart, brave, and I can tell she likes me. Or perhaps it’s my Big Gun she likes. ---

Adult Link, from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Yum. I agree with the Sephiroth folks, too. _feels like a huge dork for participating in this thread_ ---
