When he first appeared in 1997, Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy 7 predates his time. With the remake in 2020, the world has caught up with the world, and he has returned to a game scene that is very different from his first game.
The game is determined by the attitude of the 90s. Duke Nukem walks freely on earth, the bad thing is the name of the game, and John Romero makes us his bitch. In 2020, the situation is different. Cloud used to be an outlier, now he is at home.
Since several AAA games will be launched later this year, "Final Fantasy 7" may become the last major release of this year, which is not unimaginable. If this is the case, then it is as if Persona 5: Royale and Final Fantasy 7 Remake are the best games of the year. Between Joker and Cloud, this means that this is femboy's battle.
Both Cloud and Joker conform to the bishounen prototype, a Japanese concept that describes hermaphrodite young people. Goro Akechi from Persona 5 and Nier: Automata 9S and Tekken Leo are both suitable for this model. But it's not just bishounen who is qualified for this role. Leon S. Kennedy of Resident Evil 2 (Resident Evil 2), like Cloud, is a person who once broke the rules and can now be integrated into it. Traditionally more feminine elements, whether it is fashion, pink or simple look good.
The comic strips of "The Legend of Zelda" have never met the typical protagonist image, but with the appearance of "Breath of the Wild", this situation has gone further. The redesign highlights the feminine aspect of his appearance, makes clothing choices more intimate, and becomes a place where you save the princess. The Legend of Zelda even saved you life before the game began, and ultimately helped, not the plot plan.
It feels a little pointless to just list examples. The important thing is not that these characters exist, but that they all point to a larger trend.
Of course, there are exceptions to femboy's advantages. When you think about the dilemma of the game in the 1990s, Doomguy may be at the top of your list, and "Doom Eternal" was released last month. For the three-man alliance, 2019 seems to be a retrogressive year, but dating back to 2018, Kratos of God of War and Arthur Morgan of Red Dead Redemption 2 seem to be very different from Joker and Cloud. The heroes of 2020 are flexible and agile, while the heroes of 2018 are extensive, muscular and solid. If the tree blocked the road, the clown and the cloud would climb up the tree, Arthur would cut it, and Kratos would tear it from the root. Nonetheless, all four of them do have confidence in this trend.
David Jaffe, the original creator of Ares Take to Twitter Recently criticized the complaints about the misogynistic of the original game. Compared with previous blood-stained and brainless works, the veteran "God of War" fans are also angry at this statement because they believe that the 2018 "God of War" is the first work with a story.
In order to sit comfortably on the fence, we can say with certainty that the story of 2018 is very different. The story tells about Kratos' father, about lost love, regret, and lessons learned from the mistakes of youth. Meanwhile, "Red Dead Redemption 2" (Red Dead Redemption 2) provides intense violence, but at the cost of Arthur contracting tuberculosis, and his emotional journey is similar to Kratos (Kratos). Realizing that his wanton violent life did not cause him any harm, but hoped there was another way … No, know there is another way, and lamented that he did not accept it. Kratos and Arthur both hope they have just climbed the tree.
They are not stupid, but they are violent men, they know that violence is not the answer. This is in stark contrast to the 1990s and 00s. In the 90s and 90s, the game often earned bonus points for murdering everyone in sight. Most video games still rely on violence as a source of entertainment, conflict, gameplay, progress and challenges, but the consequences are often emphasized. Getting rid of the empty stereotypes of males, the game has received more and more attention as an art form, and w ith it comes a change from the empty stereotypes, which in turn led to people ’s Pay attention, this is a vicious circle.
Kratos himself is a metaphor for game development scenarios. Once young people's jazz is driven by weeds, energy drinks and adolescent testosterone, there are still many veterans. Cory Barlog was the first chief animator of "God of War" and the creative director of the latest work 13 years apart. Neil Druckmann, the naughty dog, has been in the industry for 16 years, Hideo Kojima has been in the industry for 34 years, and Mark Cerny is an amazing 37 years. . The game has changed them.
You will notice that there are no women in the list. Although there are some outstanding female leaders in the game-Lara Croft (Lara Croft) is a classic, but "Horizon: Zero Dawn" Aloy (Aloy) is comprehensive-they have not Male evolution. Persona 5 captures a complex man in the clown, and his companion Ann Takamaki is introduced as a pedophile bikini and is forced to wear a latex bodysuit , Apparently contrary to her laughter, but this does not mean that this trend is positive. Women in the game are still waiting for partners, but when it comes to men, this is a responsible matter.
