Final Fantasy - Boys game, or Girls game?

Before I joined this forum, I would have classified FF as a "boys game" since I didn't know many girls - a grand total of one - who played it. Yet, I think that there's more girls than boys on this forum, and, there are more female staff than male staff.

So, what do you think? Is FF targeted better towards boys, or girls? Or is it one of those rare games that appeals to everyone?

It's directed at game geeks, not any one sex. This explains why so many forums dedicated to it spring up all of the time.

I always thought it was a bit girly Guys usually like more action. It basically depends which FF game you're talking about. Here are my divisions:

Boys:
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy IV

Girls
Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy X-2

Eh, I think FF can appeal to both sexes equally. It just depends if you actually like gaming and fantasy. And Laro, I love FFVII and I'm a girl. Lol

Hey, most of my friends like it--boys and girls. It all depends on your interests.

And I am VERY interested in this game. *glomps game*

I didn't want to do that ^^' It's just what I think. That's not an exact list. I really think that FF is for both sexes

Hell no, it's not a boys game or girls game. Hell, I'm a girl and I've played games like Half-Life 2 and Quake 4. Those games are FPS and geared towards men.

JRPGs seem to appeal to girls anyways...

I'll add more to this later.

Huh? More girls than boys on this forum? Are you sure...?

But anyway, it appeals to both sexes, of course. Honestly, I can say for myself that RPG games (not just Final Fantasy) appeals more to me than any other type of games. So in the end, it's all really up to one's taste.

I think its equal to both genders. Except FFX-2 seems to be more directed towards girls only because there are 3 girl main characters. I still think that guys will play it too seeing as there in skimpy dresses
