Here's Koko, the first openly transgendered character in a video game (that I know of).
Here's Koko, the first openly transgendered character in a video game (that I know of).
Yes, there have been minor gender bending in the past, such as Rex Nebula. He got to change his sex at one point, but then the idiot changed back! And of course, there's the character in Final Fantasy VII on the PSOne. He donned a feminine disguise to get past some bad guys. But as soon as he's past them, it's back to being a guy! I'm talking about a full blown (well, until Larry wimps out) MTF TRANSSEXUAL here!
For those that haven't played the game, there's the set up. Larry is the nephew of the original. He's in his 7th year at a community college (and still a Freshman). The game picks up as a TV (no pun) dating show comes to campus. In order to get on the show, Larry has to prove that he's been in "contact" with several girls.
Towards the end of the game, he meets a girl that claims to be a French co-ed. At one point, she tells him all about how she's really from North Dakota, but had to make some serious life changes. At first, we're led to believe that she's only talking about her French art snob act (no offense intended to the French or art lovers. It's the way that her character is. Play it and you'll see). Finally, Larry gets a chance to prove his manhood to her. That's when we see this clip.
For those that think there may be a less transgendered meaning to this clip, let me share these spoilers with you. You can buy adult modes as you go along. All of the girls are covered between these six modes, EXCEPT Koko (modes 5 & 6 are bought from the Porn Fairy after you finish the game).
There is also an Everybody Nude mode that you can buy from Uncle Larry (again, AFTER you finish the game). This makes all of the women in Larry's life nude (there's still that stupid "censored" tag over them in the U.S., at least on the PS2. The tag only appears below the belt). Koko is still fully clothed (DRAT!). Also, listen closely to Koko's voice at the end of the clip. The actress is trying to use a deeper, manlier voice (having a bass toned man would have been funnier, albeit more obvious).
I'm not going to say that this is the best game that I ever played, but even though I finished it, I'm keeping it. Usually, I sell games before I finish them (I'm not big on thumb work out games like this). I do recommend it to people with a "unique" sense of humor, though. It's got something for everyone, man, woman, gay, tranny, or straight.
THANK YOU HIGH VOLTAGE STUDIOS!
Now please, PLEASE, GIVE KOKO HER OWN GAME! Maybe a prequel?
