Square Enix’s heroine embodies an age-old issue developers have with women in video games.

Ah, Kotaku again with the shitposting.

So the author is mad that Jill isn’t the main character and she loves the actual main character, who happens to be a dude.

And here I was, hoping that an actual nuanced discussion could happen on here, instead of a Reddit-esque “Kotaku sux” kind of thing.

I almost didn’t post it because I suspected half the replies would be people complaining about Kotaku like it’s still 2014, and now I see I should have gone with my gut.

I think Jill is a great character she's strong without being a "man with tits" she's pretty while wearing practical clothes. Which is why I think it's a shame she feels under utilized. The game has a huge lack of banter while traveling around which is a great way for games to make their characters feel more present.

Do you think the game not having the FF traditional party is why she feels underutilized?
