I've been a long time lurker on this thread (and this forum until recently), and video games are my main source for zako, so I'm definitely invested in a lot of the discussions on this thread, and I figured it might be time to contribute.
Honestly, it's hard to know where to start. My gallery's just full of zako screenshots and videos from various games. I guess I'll start with the source of my (current) pfp: Final Fantasy XIV.

Because FFXIV is an MMO and these screenshots come from my own gameplay, the UI is a bit cluttery. Hope that doesn't get in the way of anyone's enjoyment of these zakos.
Now, I'm not very far into FFXIV. I've only beaten A Realm Reborn and am currently struggling through its post-game. So far, there aren't many zako to write home about, some may even find the ones I'm about to show to be a bit lackluster. Regardless, here's a look at my collection of screenshots of some of the imperial soldiers from FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

For some background, the Garlean Empire is one of the main antagonistic forces in FFXIV. In A Realm Reborn, you don't encounter many soldiers of direct imperial descent. You do, however, encounter many imperial conscripts. These guys are the cannon fodder among cannon fodder, but that doesn't seem to humble their ego.
This video (not mine) shows one of the earliest cutscene encounters with them in the game. At 1:42 you can see a soldier (presumably the captain) acting all high and mighty, giving orders while speaking of the supremacy of the Garlean Empire (while not being an actual Garlean himself).

Something many of you may notice is that most of them are men. I get it, not everyone swings that way, so I'll let you know that the archers and clerics are women, while the ones wielding anything other than a bow or healing staff are men.
While their designs may not be anything amazing, I always did find something attractive about them. That something probably being that they all look like they're wearing skirts and tights.
That being said, most of my screenshots of them are my attempts at getting upskirt shots of them when they're defeated.

Now, we'd be here all day if I just kept dropping screenshots of every upskirt shot I have of them defeated. Something I have fewer of is upskirt shots of them in combat. I managed to get a couple of shots of a swordsman and an archer mid-combat, their rears in full view.

Like I said, they may not be the most eye-catching zako, but there definitely is something attractive about them.
In the attached zip folder are some videos of some archers and a cleric getting defeated. One of my favorite things about them are the little noises they make when they go down, but those moans aren't exclusive to the imperials in this game.
I hope y'all got some enjoyment out of these. Maybe I'll post some zakos from another game tomorrow.
