Babette from Cosmic Fantasy 2.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 is the only game in the Cosmic Fantasy series that ever saw a North America release. It was released on the Turbografx 16 CD, which is the game system my mom bought me when she bought my older brother and younger sister of Super NES and a Sega Genesis.

She figured buying each of us a different game system would mean that we would share and collaborate, but nobody wanted to play my role-playing game, and they didn't want to let me play Sonic or Mario, so I sat down and played Cosmic Fantasy II from beginning to end.

It was the first role-playing game I ever beat, it was the first role-playing game I had ever seen with full-motion video, it was a really good story, and yeah, the introduction of Babette was a full-motion anime video of her taking a shower in a space ship, which was fantastic to preteen me.
