[Wildescar]

Was about to pre order it but yet again have the protagonist a boy only.

Most players are NOT girls and they dont play games, makes sense.

Hallelujah. A game with a male only protagonist for a change !

Here's essential criteria for a successful game in 2024 (devs please take notice)
1) No communist manifestos in narrative (take our money or Blackrock's - check Ubisoft's stock price trend if you don't know what to do)
2) No hate to white heterosexual men (this is so 2020)
3) No female protagonists (female healers OK)
4) No magenta, purple, pastel color palette (enough already)
5) Deliver complete game upon release with no patches
6) Fire you D.I.E. team. You don't need that. Pay your hard working workers instead.

I am ready to use my credit card. Enjoy a commercially successful game. Congrats.

ah i see, people are hating women rather then just understanding games can have unique characters as protags.

i made a mistake it seems.

Yeap. Please your customer base. 101 commercial strategy.

It seems like no one in dat thread knows about female representation and tragedic (only for u) statistic. Females — close to the half of the audience. And it's okay, that we ALSO want character that represents us. But most video games prefer to have only man-protagonist or make just a visual differences, without "truly made" female's storyline.

Why U can prefer to play men characters, but and we also should? I want to have a CHOICE too. Read «Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men», u'll be shocked :)

Incorrect assessment.

You are not factoring in current and recent games. Plus upcoming where roughly 8/10 games of which have a fixed protagonist are now female lead.

Upcoming entertainment is overwhelmingly female lead. So you have plenty of choice. More then men now. No idea why you are whinging.

He is mostly a femboy so....

Waiting for the female protagonist mod again, as it was in P5R and P3R

there are still vastly more games with a male only lead. Even if recently games as a woman are releasing on par with games as a man, there's still like 20 years of games that were mostly male. According to the internet though, which can admittedly be very wrong, 80% of games have a male lead while women make up about half of the people who play games.


Also, there's like 2 or 3 atlus games, old games, that have a female protagonist. Recent atlus games have no women at all, not even a remake of a game that had one, or an upcoming alternate version of persona 5, which would have been the perfect opportunity to have a woman, will have one.

I actually wouldn't mind the option. Atlus seems to have a thing against having women in a protagonist role.
