Seems like most of the ~20 year old women at my school love mobas... either LoL or Dota2.
But then again every ~20 year old loves mobas, it seems...

Bioware games do have large female player bases
That would have been my answer, too. Sims has a big female fanbase
You'd have to assume most of them at this point:
I guess it depends on how large a percentage we have to hit before you get to "large" though.
The passage of time has changed a lot from when most posters on GAF were growing up and gaming became something pretty much everyone does instead of being seen as the hobby of basement dwelling nerds.

Final Fantasy is a big one.
I think MMOs in general tend to have a pretty sizeable female population too. Most other games will have guys who do the whole "OMG A GRIL" freakout if they run into a girl in-game, but girls are common enough in MMOs to not draw notice anymore.

Considering most of the Sims playing Youtube personalities seem to be women I wouldn't be surprised.
And in my circle of gaming friends I'm the only male that enjoys the Sims.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Judging from my anime convention experience, here are games with large female fanbases.
-Fire Emblem
-Puzzle and Dragons
-Final Fantasy
-League of Legends
-Kingdom Hearts
-Ace Attorney
-Danganronpa
-Bravely Default
-Legend of Zelda
-Style savvy
-Tales of..
Basically JRPG's and Nintendo games have many female fans.

Myst had a very large female fanbase, though I imagine there isn't much of a fanbase of any kind these days.
Pokemon has a decent-sized fanbase of girls and women. Surprisingly, female Pokemon players trend older than the male ones. Maybe it's because video games are less accepted among girls than boys at a young age, or maybe it's because the anime (Which is what gets a lot of young kids into Pokemon) stars a male character.

This isn't that surprising; while Dead or Alive is focused on the fanservice, it does have a pretty large female cast.

I couldn't tell you how many Zelda tattoos I've seen on the ladies.
So I'll say Zelda.

The Sims and games like candy crush saga is what I've noticed.
came to post these, of course women play all sorts of games, but i have seen they're upfront and vocal about these.
Also have noticed League of Legends tends to have a lot of female players, which is odd since the game is a hive of vitrol and bigotry if you engage the players.

Yeah, I also have to mention that it seems that Dead or Alive has many female fans, the fanbase seems to be more female dominated than other franchises like Tekken and Soul Calibur, which also has a substantial female base.
At least from my experiences.

Yea it wouldn't be surprising to find that it's really mixed in terms of which gender plays what.

I remember back at high school finding really bizarre how many girls knew what Sims was. Many of them were pretty big fans, too.

Bioware games and surprisingly the Gears of War games. Back in the old days of ranked execution me and my friends would constantly get faced against women deeply into Gears, which was cool. I think it had a big influence on them making a tonne of Gears 3 female multiplayer skins whereas the previous 2 games had none.

Yes, final fantasy has a huge female fanbase in the west, not sure about Japan.
While there was a GAF thread bitching about all-male FF XV, all I saw in my FB feed was women talking about how it is going to be the best FF ever because the whole cast is hot.
