Nuff said

Those are some perky triangles
I always appreciate the girls who go to conventions cosplaying as PS1 era Lara. It's not a difficult costume to source, you need a pale blue tank top, brown shorts, brown boots, fingerless gloves, a little backpack, the pistol belt with the huge square buckle, and half a shoebox.
Im dating myself, but Jill of the Jungle. All 12 pixels of her!

You cropped out her best feature!

Yeah she’s thicc, but she shows it off with how powerful her legs are, so it actually fits her in more than just a sexual manner. The fact she could crush a watermelon with her thighs is just a perk.
I would pay $5 to see Chun Li in Mortal Kombat with a fatality using her thighs.
Capcom says $70.
Yeah, but Third Strike has the best version of her character design IMO.
Don’t quite remember if it was high school or college for me….

Princess Daphne from Dragon's Lair. I'm so very old.

This screenshot just clawed a memory from the depths of my brain. I don’t even remember playing this game as a kid, but I vividly remember this character and art style.
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards.
It's someone named "Eve"
You're welcome 😁
It was Led from Septerra Core.

Holy crap I thought I was the only one that played that game.
It's on Steam if you want to relive the experience.
Last time it was mentioned here on Lemmy I was surprised how many other people also thought they were the only one who played it.
I actually have it on gog, but I've had a few issues running it on Linux. I haven't tried it a while, and I didn't troubleshoot much at all. I should give it another try.

For me, maybe Razor from Maniac Mansion, even though I never made it more than ~30 mins into that game. My kid brain didn't understand the funny tingly feeling but years later I realized, "oh duh, hot punk babe".

There was also Princess What's-Her-Name, though she wasn't much of a character.

In terms of characters with actual detailed personality, the first big one was probably Rinoa from FF VIII. I was the same age as her when I played it.
My hunch is you have a thing for redheads.
And latex/spandex. Now that you mention it, this might've been the start of both lol
rinoa was my absolute favourite ff character ever and the first ff character i ever cosplayed <3
I thought I saw elsewhere in the thread that you're also on Team Quistis. She's great too 😄

I've got to go with Sophia Hapgood.

Lucca, from the 1995 SNES JRPG, Chrono Trigger.
Same. Lucca was every nerdy boy’s dream in the 90s.
Nah. I was squarely in that audience but my heart went more toward princess Marle and weirdly attractive blonde cavewoman Ayla. Luca was a cool pal though. And you can't deny those crits.
Was she drawn by Akira Toryiama ?
Yes, the game's art was done by Akira Toriyama.
She was my second crush! I recently discovered that there are Bloodrayne Movies; i did not check imdb yet how trash they are lol
great, sometimes a bad movie is exactly what you need lol
Well.
There are good movies. There are bad movies. Further down are movies that are so bad that they're good. And then ... There's Uwe Boll.
Rikku taking off her outer bodysuit was probably a sexual awakening for a lot of young teenagers.
Innate spell resistance is hot.
Still mad about

Her appearance in bg3. I fixed her! She wasn't evil anymore in my game!
Yeah I was pretty upset about Larian for that one. One of the best and most nuanced characters in BG2 reduced to a brainless cartoon caricature. Same goes for
spoiler
Sarevok, whose entire Throne of Bhaal arc is ignored along with his character. Honestly I hated the whole murder tribunal.
spoiler
I'm still mad she freaking dies in the epilogue of BG2 if you romanced and redeemed her. Who thought that was a good idea for the ending to a hundred-hour character redemption arc? And how the hell does an epic-level cleric die to poison?
Viconia (and to a lesser extent Jaheira) is the reason I always go for the snarky, jaded and cynical character whenever it's an option. She's the "I can fix her" meme except you actually can and it's amazing.
Viconia! Definitely my archetype. Strong and evil, but somehow vulnerable as well.

Shana, the legend of dragoon.
Really? Rose was definitely mine. Mysterious elf girl come to save the day.
Though maybe I was just into older women. She was >!11,000!< years old ...lol

My brother in Christ, that was a box in my memories I didn't realize I needed to open

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.
