[QUOTE=Anaamika] What about Xiang Hua and Kilik from Soul Cal? Especially her. [/QUOTE] I like Kilik’s build, but Yunsung’s face is more striking, IMHO. What about Samanosuke from the _Onimusha_series? He’s modeled on Takeshi Kaneshiro, which is a very good start. Not a lot of Gamecube owners on this thread, eh? Pretty much everybody in _Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance_ is ridiculously handsome, but the heron prince is simply too bishy for words. I like Peter Jacob and Michael Williams from _Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem_, more for their characterization than their appearance. Peter’s a smart, daring journalist, and Michael’s an industrial firefighter (and a very noble soul). Brains and competence are very, very hot. ---

[QUOTE=jaderabbit] Pretty much everybody in _Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance_ is ridiculously handsome, but the heron prince is simply too bishy for words. [/QUOTE] Ah, Fire Emblem. The peagus sisters, Lyndis and her promoted boobs, Rebecca… Mmmm. The Sacred Stones characters didn’t hook me and I’ve yet to play Path of Radiance. > [@VCO3](#): > > Quistis from Final Fantasy VIII. Admit it, its’ the whip. FFVIII did have a good number of likeable and hot female characters, didn’t it? ---

[/QUOTE] Yunsung is nice and all, but Kilik’s staff dance is one to die for. And I actually thought about Samanosuke at work but forgot by the time I went home. I hate that game - too many things jumping out for my blood - but I loved samanosuke. ---

I agree with others on Seph, Vincent and Auron, and will throw in Setzer (not Nomura’s KHII version), Edgar, Cecil and Kain. Ghaleon, Dias Flac from Star Ocean II, Col. Mullen from Grandia, Alucard and Richter (oh, hell, throw in all the Belmont’s) from Castlevania. On the girlie side, Lulu, Paine, Celes, and Jessica from Lunar are up there. Oh, oh, can’t forget the Nali WarCow from Unreal Tournament! ---

Many of the _Dynasty Warriors 5_ character designs were hot, but Cao Pi gets bonus points for being hot _and_ badass. (His pickup lines were horrid, though. :P) Kuja from Final Fantasy IX. I suspect that he’s Kefka and Sephiroth’s bastard lovechild or something. 😛 The bishies of _Crono Cross_: Guile and Nikki definitely top this list, but Karsh and Glenn are pretty cute, too. Hearty seconds for Auron from _Final Fantasy X_ and also Sephiroth (as far as villains go, I think Kefka’s superior, but Sephy’s definitely better eye candy :D). ---

I still have a crush on the Foreign Advisor from Civ2. It’s okay though since she’s technically a real person 😉 “Our intelligence indicates that other nations hold us in the highest regard, sir. Let us exploit this window of opportunity…” ---

This thread is really going downhill… Eleven posts in a row without links to pictures? What’s the purpose of a “sexiest \_\_\_\_\_” thread, if there’s no pictures? ---

[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] Ah, have to disagree with you there. Marisa and L’Arachel (though not so much in personality) aren’t so hard on the eyes. [/QUOTE] See. Just what I mean. I could probably rattle off every character in the first US Fire Emblem, including bosses. I remember L’Arachel (faux Serra) because she was in every ad for the game, but who the heck is Marisa? Was she the dancer? No, that was Tethys. Was she the crying archer? ---

[QUOTE=Grossbottom] I’ll nominate Fall-from-Grace, out of Planescape: Torment. And I don’t even like blondes. [/QUOTE] She’s nice and all, but I’ll take Annah-of-the-Shadows any day of the week. ---

[QUOTE=HPL] The Female playable characters in Knights of the Old Republic were all rather attractive. Now if only mission were a couple years older… [/QUOTE] On a related note, Bastilla from KOTOR 1 was, of course a total babe. Even better, though, it occurred to me that in the early stages of the game, before you get useful clothing for her to wear, there’s no downside to having her run around in just her underwear. So that’s what I did. A bra and panties and a vibroblade. Yum. ---
