We've all joked about her before -- but honestly, after finding out more about Kaine and her past, she has become one of the most interesting characters I've seen in a game so far this year. I applaud Cavia for being a studio that has actually done something interesting with a character in a JRPG for once. Watch the video after the jump to see one of my favorite scenes in the game. Out of context it seems pretty cliche; but when you know more about the character -- what she is, what she has gone through, why she acts the way she does -- this is a hell of a lot more heart-breaking.

    hmm one of my favorite things about games is not only the gamplay but for some good games, like ones by square enix, i like the way they develop the characters in the storylines

    For anyone confused, here's the Wiki article on Kaine:

    "A scantily clad NPC swordswoman accompanying Nier who has drawn media attention for being a hermaphrodite. Kainé was born an intersex and for this reason she was constantly tormented by her peers as a child. She has a disposition to swear constantly, a trait she picked up from her grandma. Though originally rumored to be a character exclusive to the Japan-only Nier Replicant, the third trailer for Nier showcases an audio-only monologue of Kainé berating Nier's book companion, Weiss."

    Kaine's one of a kind. Despite of her differences, she is still a total badass and I like that.

    I'm not sure about the whole hermaphrodite thing. SE says that she is a hermaphrodite, but only describe that as her swearing a lot and acting extremely manly...
