I see discussions constantly online about X series or Y game and see this cropping up as a point of contention. People not possibly believing that people buy games because they see a hot girl on the cover, or a hot guy in a preview video, et cetera.
So, I want to ask you, GAF.
Have you?
I know I have. I played the Muv-Luv Trilogy because of Meiya (although, that's a visual novel series) and I played Arcana Heart because of Kamui (but that was partially because of her playstyle, and fighting games are hugely based on character draw for many people.)
I bet you can see where I'm coming from when I also say I love Ryougi from Melty/KnK and Laura from Trails of Cold Steel. You can see what kind of character gets to me.
EDIT: That being said, personally, I might as well clarify - I have never bought a crap videogame because of a hot girl or whatever. I just wanted to know.
