The things to consider would be that you can only marry the opposite gender. Aside from that, the only real differences are the sprite texture, 3D model, voice and which gender's bath area you're allowed to access.

The choice is yours in the end.

It's kinda funny that you can only marry the opposite gender in the game considering that as a girl there are several cases where they allude to the female main character being interested in girls (such as saying that the female character must be look forward to seeing the other girls in their swimsuits) and the ghost attached to Dolce is clearly a lesbian.

On the bright side it seems RF5 is going to allow you to chase after the boys and the girls regardless of gender.

Guess I won't be befriending the males this time then. Last thing I want is all the dudes flirting with my dude just cause I talked to and gift everyone. I wonder if there will be an option to disable it? or not download the "same sex dlc" Seeing as same sex marriage is not in the original Japanese release version, I hope so. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it's in for those that like that kinda thing, I just want to be able to befriend dudes and not worry about them wanting to date my dude lol.

I'm using mods to add same sex marriage

Wait, it was like this in the original 3ds version, but the updated "special" let's you marry either gender without going through the sprite swap bs, I thought? At least on the switch and xbox I have the option to play as Lest and romance a guy. Is the steam version different?

As fore if Lest or Frey(?) has different experiences, I'm not too sure. I've only played as Lest and I didn't really care to marry anyone when playing on the 3ds.

Added: looking it up more, it does seem that the feature didn't come to special. Oops. I'm not sure why I thought it did but it did feel like I've been "romancing" the guys on xbox and switch? Huh, my bad.

You can pick up a mod that allows you do marry anyone. It will lead to some... interesting dialogue sometimes but the option is there.

Is there? Pretty sure there's only a gender swap mod or two that allows same sex marriage, not marrying anyone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@Aamit Morthos
But yeah, the game will still believe you are the gender you swapped from when it comes to dialog and which bathroom you're allowed to enter. The only character who will know you're a boy instead of a girl or vise versa will be you. It's really only a sprite and voice clip change. Even using the New Game+ special order to change your appearance to Frey/Lest instead won't change what gender the game considers you to be.

Yeah, that's what I meant, not literally everybody since that's not in the game.

Although the main girl is super cute I agree, I gotta go with the waifus man. So many great waifus. If you're into dudes cuz gay or straight/bi girl IRL then you pick the girl.
