Hey Galsic, I was looking at the Grand List of Console RPG Clichés that you have linked in your signature, and found this:

Quote
Gender Equality, Part 1 (Feena Rule)
Your average female RPG character carries a variety of deadly weapons and can effortlessly hack or magic her way through armies of monsters, killer cyborgs, and mutated boss creatures without breaking a sweat. She may be an accomplished ninja, a superpowered secret agent, or the world's greatest adventurer. However, if one of the game's villains manages to sneak up and grab her by the Standard Female Character Grab Area (her upper arm) she will be rendered utterly helpless until rescued by the hero.


Which "Feena" Is this referencing?

(I know of multiple characters named that but am only actually familiar with one, the Feena from the Ys series, to whom this doesn't apply.)

Um...take your pick then?

Had to google "video game Feena", and the only other significant video game character I could find by that name was this one. Don't know anything about the Grandia series, but I'd say the description in that link makes that Feena a strong possibility. Otherwise, I have no idea >_>.

And I put that list on my sig not long after I joined (2005!), I think cuz I just wanted something video game related there. I'm really surprised the page is still up after all these years.

Ah, I was just wondering if you knew. And yeah, now that you mention it, it might be her. I remember seeing her in passing before but I just couldn't place it. (There's also another (unrelated AFAIK) character in Rage of Bahamut by the same name, but that's a much more recent game.)

Come to think of it the Grandia franchise is one that I've totally neglected. Despite having bought Grandia II back when it was available on GOG a few years ago (sadly it isn't anymore). Seems like Feena hails from the first Grandia game though.
