because i'm like the drunk guy in your basement after a party with a cup on his face...

[matsu.livejournal.com]

My advice to you is to:

A.) Play better JRPGs, or;
B.) Replay some of the ones you already know with an open mind, because in some the romantic aspects aren't even central to the plot.

In general I think the Tales series handles the typical "hero's romantic interest" thing infinitely better than, say, Final Fantasy. (Keywords: in general.) I will agree with you that there are more Final Fantasy games than I'd like that feature the silent and withdrawn hero who falls in love with a kind blah blah blah, we get the point, he opens up and becomes less of a dick and they all lived happily ever after. But if you're not willing to grant me that some of the games from which you chose female leads treat the hero/heroine's relationship as being secondary to the main plot, then seriously, just find some better games.

Everyone else has said what I'd like to say, seeing as how I'm late to the party. And I'm sure you could do without all the shit-flinging this has caused. I would like to reiterate, though, that there's no problem in having a hobby simply because you want to, instead of trying to justify it to others. After all, look where it can get you.

Oh, I still enjoy those games. It's not like I have this burning, raging hatred for every white mage love interest ever - it just kind of got magnified by the wank, when really, I just find the characters unappealing rather than OMG DIE. I just don't like them as a whole, and I think it's a cliche that should be broken more often.
