I was wondering, how many female characters that have a son/daughter are there? And I mean during the game, not after it like in SS64. Anybody you can think on? Thanks.

I guess Chrono Cross' Macha could count. Suikoden doesn't seem to have any...

Lucia & Hugo and Luce & Lulu from Suikoden, the female pirate and her son from Unlimited Saga, and... that's all I can think of. Huh. I guess that's kind of surprising, but then again, I can't think of many playable fathers in video games, either. I suppose Geese and Terry both count, as well as Fei Fong Wong, but I honestly can't think of any others.

Cornet, her mum (well, semi playable) and her daughter Kururu in the Marl Kingdom games (Rhapsody and its sequel).

Rutee and her son Kyle in the Tales series.

You had to go through 3 generations of main characters in Phantasy Star III, so there's quite a bit there. Can't for the life of me remember if you can control the wives though.

Fathers are a little easier, I think:

Rock in Soul Blade and Soul Calibur ("Bangoo!")
Clive in Wild Arms 3
Strago in FFVI (he's a grandpa, so he's had kids.)
Takuma Sakazaki (sp?)
Drachma from Skies of Arcadia
Ken Masters
Numbers of other dads who fight to save their kidnapped child

There's also Saisyu Kusanagi and Heidern (adopted father of Leona), Taizan from SS64 2 (father of the Gandara you fight in it), and Kliff from GGXX (Testament's dad).

There's also Edea from FF8.

well - not sure if this counts, but there's Chizuru, who's the mother of the baby with Reiji in KOF EX 2 - but she's not a mother *as* you play her...

Incredible Crisis lets you play as the 40-ish year old mother.

I'm pretty sure there's a mom or two in the Aero Fighters series.

Then there's the Sims, but that's maybe too obvious.

That's all I can think of right now.

You mean Laura and Henri? They are not at all related.

And she's not even a moe character like everyone in Xenosaga. Damn, I love her).

You've got it backwards my friend, Mitsuko is Uriko's mother.

Mitsuko was in BR1, she was a manish brute of a woman who turned into a manish brute of a wild boar... she, Fox the Fox, and the Gorilla never returned (rant: which is too bad... I liked being a Gorilla and a boar! I hope someone turns into a Gorilla in BR4... I'm tired of all that jungle cat/wolf crap that panders to furries.)

I guess Magic Box was less than accurate then, because I could've sworn that their early previews for Unlimited Saga identified Henri as Laura's son.

I think Edea only counts in the technical category, which is where I had put Terry and Fei for video game fathers. Edea ran the orphanage that housed most of the teenage characters from FF8, but it seemed more like a house with a big family than an actual orphanage. She doesn't REALLY count, though.

I never heard anything about her being a housewife or having kids. But then again, I've never looked for too much info on her. Someone else would have to answer it.

But no wonder we were all slightly misled, as she's already been a surrogate mother a few times, and she earns some extra money at the weekend as a cleaning technician in a sauna.

Maybe it's me, but I read this to mean that she's just pretending to be a housewife, like an undercover fake job title to throw off suspicion or something. Although I honestly have no idea if that makes any difference one way or the other.

I always thought that she was a housewife, but once her husband died, she took up boxing and became an agent to find out how he died.
