You ever notice how almost no RPG has

a female heavy physical DPS or tank character? almost all of them are delegated to the backrow to heal/cast black magic, and, at most, are allowed to be the party thief.

What the fuck is wrong with her face
She looks like one of the fucking Bogandoff brothers with less overdone lips

I was trying to think of Final Fantasy characters but it kind of feels like most combat systems let most characters do a little bit of everything

You fucking uncultured swines
I'll teach you all
This girl can do everything, heal, deal absurd amounts of damage and take a million hits

you really don't see why the female body might not be a good fit for physical dps?

The average JRPG male protagonist doesn't exaclty have the body type for physical dps

Whatever

Tifa's not really a "heavy melee dps" character so much as a fast assassin type character. Cloud and Barret both outrank her in that area.

i want to lick the abs of a strong girl

High test will do that.

Just play Etrian Odyssey and make a female tank/DPS

you and me too, user

If we start counting games where custom character creation is a thing the amount will obviously skyrocket. In DQ3 for example women are objectively better than men stat-wise and get access to better gear.

but I posted a unit that could do that as the first reply
>had her wield an Axe the majority of the game, did stupidly high damage on offense and also had defensive counter skills
>natural sorcery and the only party heal in the game is sorcery, so she had healing
>also gave her a shield so she could block everything and shield bash too

You can turn the wheelchair bound cripple into a tank or physical DPS monster.

why would japan do this to our patriarchal society

I never noticed how elaborate her right armguard is.

she's flat and looks like a 12 year old, which automatically makes her shit.
Add on that her body frame should collapse like a used tissue under that armor.

What is Chrono Trigger?

Came here to post this.
Best girl.

Holy crap I thought I was the only one who played that game.

Get out of here, Flatress.
This is Charis' time to shine.

Tales games don't follow that. Symphonia had Sheena and Presea

evasion tanks are literally the chinese bootlegs of the tank world.

Presea and the lolitank archetype

A good game.

evasion tanks are fun
until you learn that your game has shit like 100% hit rate on AOEs and people will spam that in pvp

baiting for all the right reasons there, op.

a long time ago diablo 3 wasn't so bad and dex gave evasion instead of armor so you could make an evasion monk tank it was bitchin

Trails has at least one. And Lord almighty, does she do her job well.

Wow OP!
It's almost as if females are biologically inferior to males in physical strength, and fantasy is influenced by real life!

Evasion tanks are just asking to get burst to hell before you know what happened. The point of a tank isn't just mitigate, its primary purpose is SURVIVE.
Ergo, even if that evasion tank has, on paper, better over time mitigation and dodges like 99/100 hits, if that hundredth hit kills it, while the armor tank gets hit for more damage but is never in any danger of being killed, the Evasion tank is a shit tank.

its why no one goes full Evasion in POE without something like lightning coil to cheese a crapton of mitigation to go along with it, or why most "workable" evasion tanks have stupidly high Health pools (To the point of almost having double an armor tanks HP) to avoid burst.

H.B was much better.

yeah but they're F U N

Roleplaying sports tournament fantasy visual novel, but it counts.

Actually evasion cap raiders end up avoiding burst quite well do to the effect of evasion on crit chance.

I didn't get her social link past level two, but she was my undisputed MVP in terms of raw overkill damage.

Yeah because Cloud could totally swing the Buster Sword around in a realistic setting.

>bulking up a girl to a bulk guy's equal
>Not hard
TOP. KEK.

>muh swords
She only does her job well because she's so autistic about swords and rape caves

>he didn't save haru from arranged marriage

Logical reason? because guys don't dig girls who look like dudes, they like effeminate ones of a traditional girl archetype as has been ingrained in us by evolution and society.

So guys go for that fanservice moe who would make a good wife, not the chick who looks like a dude and probably farts/burps alot and acts like a bitch.

it's fiction you fucking idiot

Kiseki in general is pretty good for this.
>Estelle is a Bo Staff wielding jack of all trades
>Tita is a ranged attacker with great AoE damage, Noel from the Crossbell games is somewhat to Tita.
>Rixia is similar to Laura but can be a great dodge tank due to how viable it is in Ao
>Anelace is a high damage sword user
There are the of the typical mage types like Renne, Kloe, Emma, and Tio but overall the series is really good at diversifying character types and keeping out of the typical JRPG tropes for character classes. Hell in the 3rd Kevin is the more magic oriented character compared to Ries who is a fucking nun the character you would completely expect to just be a white mage in any other game.

No, it isn't you doughnut.

Nah, just a well done RPGMaker game for it's time. Slightly randomized loot with some fixed artifacts. Stat growth based on a job selection system. Okay story. Nip.

if it wasn't they wouldn't be outcompeted in pretty much all sports by men.
