The main objective is to analyze these patterns and compare them between characters. Quantitative data was gathered through the analysis of eight videogames that are new, world-famous and there is a presence of female characters and a survey completed by 111 young people to evaluate their level of awareness regarding gender roles, as well as the language that these characters use. The results show that video games explicitly or implicitly have differences in gender roles and sexist factors that influence the identity of the female characters and the respondents were fully aware of gender stereotypes. However, a significant part of them decided to continue playing these games, although they demanded a change in the videogame industry.

The Story of Final Fantasy VII and How Squaresoft
STS145 History of Computer Game Design, Final Paper, Winter 2001 Gek Siong Low Coming to America The making of Final Fantasy VII and how Squaresoft conquered the RPG market Gek Siong Low [email protected] Disclaimer: I have tried my best to find sources that are as reliable as possible (press releases, interviews in published magazines, etc) but many times I had to depend on third-party accounts of what happened. Some of these accounts conflict with one another, so I try to present as coherent an account of the history as I can here. I do not claim that everything in this paper is true. With that in mind, let us proceed on with the story… Introduction “[Final Fantasy VII is]…quite possibly the greatest game ever made.” -- GameFan magazine, quote on back of Final Fantasy VII CD case (Greatest Hits edition) The story of Squaresoft’s success in the US video games market appears at first glance to be like a fairy tale. Before Final Fantasy VII, console-based role-playing games (RPGs) were still a niche market, played only by a dedicated few who were willing to endure the long wait for the few games to cross the Pacific and onto American soil. Then came Final Fantasy VII in the September of 1997, wowing everybody with its amazing graphics, story and gameplay. The game single-handedly lifted console-based RPGs out of their little niche into the mainstream, selling millions of copies worldwide, and made Squaresoft a household name in video games. Final Fantasy VII CD cover art Today console-based RPGs are a major industry, with players spoilt-for- choice on which RPG to buy every Christmas.

The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation
岡山大学経済学会雑誌３７（１），２００５，６３～８８ The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation Daiji Fujii 1. Introduction “Final Fantasy” was one of the million selling series of role playing games (RPGs). Square Corporation, which might be known as Square Soft outside Japan, had been known as the Japanese software developer to release this series approximately every year. Square enjoyed large annual turnovers from the series and diversified their businesses including a CG movie production. Journalism shed a spotlight on this software factory as a member of the “Winners Club” in Japan’s economy under the futureless recession in the 1990s. This heroic entrepreneurial company and its biggest rival, Enix Corporation Limited, known to be the publisher of “Dragon Quest” series (“Dragon Warrior” in North America), the other one of the twin peaks of Japanese RPG titles, announced to become one in November, 2002. The news became a national controversy, because the home video game was expected to be the last remedy to Japan’s trade imbalance of software industry. According to the report published by Japan’s industry consortium, Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), the top 30 titles in terms of the total shipment between 1983−2002 included 13 RPG titles released by both Square and Enix, second to Nintendo’s 14 titles of various genres (See table 1). Independent software firms had had powerful impacts upon Nintendo, which had the combination of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as a dominant platform and “Mario” as a killer content. In 1996, Nintendo’s hegemony in the platform market was rooted out by the re−alliances amongst software suppliers and almost dying PlayStation of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).

The Intertwined Histories of Playstation and Final Fantasy VII
Winning the Game: The Intertwined Histories of PlayStation and Final Fantasy VII Andrew Park STS 145: History of Computer Game Design Prof. Henry Lowood Perhaps Nintendo owes much of its success to Mario—the cheerful Italian plumber and his brother Luigi have heralded the release of every Nintendo home-console with a groundbreaking game bearing their names. Sega too enlisted a mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, as its #1 salesman; Sonic’s bad-boy attitude gave Sega personality while distinguishing it as a more mature console than Mario’s Nintendo. Yet the Sony PlayStation attained supremacy of the console market in the mid-1990s without the presence of a definitive mascot. Although game critics may point to Crash Bandicoot (Taves 1) or Lara Croft as PlayStation’s mascot (Poole 8), neither currently adorns Sony’s PlayStation website, a far cry from the open-armed greeting extended by Mario at Nintendo.com. Instead, a game, Final Fantasy VII, came to represent PlayStation as it tipped the scales toward Sony in the console wars. So closely linked are the two that the evolutions of PlayStation and this game that immortalized it provide a window through which both the success and the impact of the PlayStation can be seen. With 72 million units sold worldwide, PlayStation accounted for nearly 40% of Sony’s profits in 1998. Yet PlayStation’s success has had ramifications that extend far beyond the world of video games—Sony is betting that a next-generation PlayStation will serve as the heart of its integrated home entertainment network. Sony executives envision a world in which Sony digital devices seamlessly fuse Sony’s hardware with content over a lightning-fast network, and PlayStation serves as Sony’s entryway into the homes of millions.

Michelle Chun STS 145 History of Computer Game Design Professor Henry Lowood March 18, 2002
Michelle Chun STS 145 History of Computer Game Design Professor Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 SquareSoft: What’s Behind the Hype? A Case History SquareSoft is one of the most important and significant names in the gaming industry, especially in terms of innovation and profitability. Square's games make headlines, sell systems, and generate enormous buzz. The company has become synonymous with role-playing games, and unfailingly creates games, such as the Final Fantasy series, that are constantly innovative and one step ahead of the competition. One may even say that SquareSoft has set the standard by which other RPGs are measured, and that games like the Final Fantasy series have become the ideal that many other RPGs strive for. The popularity and success of RPGs in the gaming industry can be partly attributed to the contributions made by SquareSoft. It appears that SquareSoft has the “Midas touch” and has been essential in the rise and success of the Sony PlayStation. For instance, its move from Nintendo to Sony in the mid '90s may have been a key factor in the ultimate success of the PlayStation – in January 1997, the hit game Final Fantasy VII caused a two-month surge in PlayStation sales (Asakura 209). Even Electronic Arts formed a joint venture with the company, establishing Square Electronic Arts in 1998. SquareSoft has also played an essential role in the expansion of the gaming industry into other arenas, such as the film industry. Through an analysis of SquareSoft’s history and future, as well as analyses of several games that are considered to be SquareSoft’s greatest hits, I will attempt to draw a conclusion as to what has helped SquareSoft become an industry leader and what has made the company’s games so successful.
