BLOG (PERSONAL) -- My Video Game Crushes

As a counterpart to my anime crushes blog, here are my video game crushes.

Besides the first, second, and last guy, I had to think a bit more when coming up with this list than when I put together my anime crushes. Don't get me wrong -- there are tons of cool male video game characters. It's just that often times, the player is playing as that character, making choices for him... So unless the character actually speaks and conveys some personality to distinguish himself from the player, I can't consider him. For example, I can't list the male protagonist from Persona 5, because I'm often choosing how he reacts / responds to situations. It's great for gameplay -- not so much for stealing my heart, hahaha. ;)

Just like with my anime crushes, I generally limit myself to one crush per series. So... within the entire Final Fantasy series -- even though they are not connected -- there can only be one! And he was my first video game crush <3

Also, as with my anime crushes, having a video game crush does NOT always mean I dream of being with him. Some guys I simply respect and appreciate their existence. :)

Locke from Final Fantasy VI

Who Is He?
He is a thief -- or as he would call it, a "treasure hunter".

Why Do I Like Him?
I like his adventurous nature and his perseverance to fight for his convictions, even when chances of success could be low. Without spoiling anything, I also love his protective nature and his loyalty to the one he loves.

Would I Date Him?
I would... but I consider him already taken. I would totally date somebody like him, though! :)

With Locke being my first video game crush, he has left a lasting impact on me and my future video game playing style. Whenever I play a new video game, if there is an option to play a thief class, I will play it! If there is an option to steal items, I will do it (when nobody's looking)! XD

Locke's "treasure hunting" nature will always be alive in me -- in video games. Stealing is bad in real life! :)

Miles Edgeworth from the Ace Attorney series

Who Is He?
He is a renowned prosecutor.

Why Do I Like Him?
He looks cool -- and he's got the brains. Anybody who knows me knows that I love brains <3

I admire his dedication to seek out the truth, and I like that he gives himself the capacity to grow and change.

Would I Date Him?
When I think seriously about this, I am undecided. I appreciate his core values (and his brains), but I don't know enough about him as a person to really say...

I am behind in playing the Ace Attorney games, so maybe I'll have a better idea after playing through them all. 

Oswald from Odin Sphere

Who Is He?
He is an elite soldier, whose soul was traded away for his current power.

Why Do I Like Him?
I like... his devotion to his loved ones. He does not care how he appears to others so long as he is living true to his values and beliefs.

He also has some swoon-worthy quotes in Odin Sphere:

-"You are not an object. And I will not allow anyone to treat you thus -- never."
-"From now on, I act on my own... for you..."

*Swoons!* <3

Would I Date Him?
I would... but he is also taken, hahaha. I would definitely date somebody like him :)

Sans from Undertale

Who Is He?
Sans is a skeleton who gets roped into helping his brother hunt down humans.

Why Do I Like Him?
Sans is funny! I like how he jokes around and often has a carefree demeanor about him. It's hard to tell what he's thinking sometimes because he's usually so cheerful. I also like that behind that brightness, he thinks very deeply and seriously about things.

Would I Date Him?
Yes (sorry, Papyrus [aka Sans' brother] -- you're not my type *bows apologetically*)! I think I'd have a lot of fun with Sans, either through joking around or having meaningful conversations.

Goro Majima from the Yakuza series

Who Is He?
He is the "Mad Dog of Shimano", who goes on to become an important member of the Tojo Clan.

Why Do I Like Him?
Because he is... near perfect! At least, for me. <3 I could blog a whole entry just for Majima, but I wanted to keep things light, hahaha.

Majima is wild, bada**, strong, fragile, brave, caring, self-sacrificial, brutal, broken, loyal... I could go on, lol. He is the embodiment of a type I really like: A "punk" with a good heart. Even though he may not always show it, he really cares and is loyal to his friends and his followers.

Another thing I like about Majima is his drive to live Life his way -- to not be pulled by anybody else's strings.

Would I Date Him?
A thousand times yes! I don't know what I could offer... but I'd be by his side and support him the best I can. Even though he smokes, I trust that he'd either quit or not smoke around me, 'cuz I know he'd be looking out for me the way I'd be looking out for him. <3



That's it for this blog. Thanks for reading!

Maybe one day I'll blog about my "dream guy". I just get this feeling it'd be a super serious entry and I'll fail in conveying exactly what I mean.

For those who are single like me: just for Valentine's Day, let's be single... together! :) *e-hugs*

Take care, be safe, and until next time! :)
