Final Fantasy XVI’s Jill should be more than pretty. Square Enix’s heroine embodies an age-old issue developers have with women in video games:
in under a week since the game’s release, I like Jill because she’s a woman I can relate to in a video game. At a time when mainstream games seem to be warring with themselves over whether to continue to writeIn temperament and backstory, Jill is not a cartoon of what a woman is. When she’s first introduced to us, praying under a full moon for protagonist Clive’s safe return, letting a tear glitter down her cheek with no self-consciousness, we’re shown that Jill is passionate.
Jill insists she’s changed after Clive reunites with her as an adult—out of necessity, she’s killed people with’s first act, I only see more evidence of her deep emotion. She still cries freely. She’s hopeful when she talks to Clive about fate, though it’s been wicked to her so far.
