it would have made sense if you could have a female or male version for the other 4 factions and just remove femme fatale.(they dont even have a part of the story like the others)

I agree, they are an unneeded faction. Other factions could have easily grabbed their skins if you were able to gain a skin every five levels instead of ten.

The over-representation of Femmes in faction battle really bugs me. Oh look, Femmes are dominating an area! I'll join Femmes and scoop easy wins since we always outnumber the other team 2:1 or worse, supposing a Femme's hosting and at least one player is too dense to quit before the match starts. Even on Coalition battles, often get one side all to themselves from having more members than the combined total of every other faction.

There's no necessity to play Femmes unless you've got to get your fapping on IMMEDIATELY. Playing slots will unlock all their stuff and leveling up any other faction to 80 (only 10 levels more than Gun Sword SP or V Device SP for example) will let you use it all in customization for that faction as well as FF. Only difference is you don't have Sexy Pose in the game lobbies.

I started leveling other factions because I thought their outfit and equipment unlocks were exclusive... nobody said I could get all their level-up stuff from the slot machine. To be fair I already had NEVEC and Rounders both at 70 when that happened.

My only problem with Femmes is all the people dumping them into Faction matches because there are so many other people already playing Femmes and they're certain to get 1st place for the week. It screws up matchmaking whenever that side gets involved, so bad that Coalition matches are the only ones that are playable and can actually get a game started. 2/3 of the events are faction-vs-faction matches, and it's either being outnumbered 3:1 by femmes or sitting for 15 minutes and not seeing a single Fight Junkie to duke it out with.

In faction matches, the femme fatale could have two parts.

The first part is that you can only level Femme Fatales online until you beat the campaign, some people don't want to beat the campaign right away, so they use the femme fatale faction online----->Faction battle is an online mode that gives you credits, let's try that out!------> Oh look, the femme Fatales are winning, let's join their side!----->This Thread.

Let's be honest right now. It's not a problem that women are in the game. I don't mind playing as women in a game as long as it doesn't suck, I mean hell, there are games out there with story's that are so anime-ish that a lead woman character makes sense. And any body who plays a lot of games knows that most Japanese companies are know for over exaggerating the female body from normal to flat out porn status. And this game is no different. If someone wants to play with a female character, then by all means, go for it. I played with the Femmes for awhile but then again I play with all the factions equally just because.

However for some reason or another, Japanese players, male or female like to run around as female characters, which goes with what I said above. And I have noticed that the Femme Fatales suck in faction matches because every little horny kid seems to pick them up or think that because they out number everyone else in faction, that that=easy win not knowing that it just means free kills for the opposing faction(s). Capcom knew how to sell this to kids and I'm sure that when a lot of kids found out that you could walk around as a half naked character, they went O.O and probably bought the game solely for that.

Guys playing with female characters doesn't bother me, as I don't mind playing with a female character from time to time. What doest bother me though, is how I'm seeing a lot of guys defending drooling over fictional characters. I don't care how much one defends themselves: once you tell me that you get distracted from gameplay because you can't stop watching your half naked character, that's all I need to know about you. As a matter of fact, I think a thread like this was made before the game came out about some of the forum members(can't remember who but wasn't gonna name you anyway) being soooo "distracted" from their female players ass that they couldn't focus on the actual gameplay. There's only two types of guys who are in to anime-ish characters. Don't get me wrong, the Femmes+emotes=fun situations and it's cool sometimes but as for you guys getting in to it....... Bottom line, there's only two types of guys who get WAAAYYY into 3D chicks: Creeps that could possibly have GFs but for some reason, they like the beyond the limit fantasy and just straight up Creeps(no life, no gf, no anything but creepiness)

BTW: I'm not trying to offend anyone as I do enjoy anime women in stuff. But what I'm saying is don't find your mind forgetting the bold line between reality and fiction. I've seen it happen too many times.
