Is there a non-fanservicey RPG where your main party are all female characters?

Blue Reflection, really? I can't think of many that are more fan servicey.
Does a Party of One count? Because if so, Madou Monogatari: Big Kindergarten Kids is an RPG on the SNES where the sole playable character is Arle Nadja (of Puyo Puyo fame).
Okay just saying if Devs want to put more ladies like that goddess in the back with those guns I'm more than okay with that fan service.With the important caveat that it's perhaps stretching the definition of "RPG", since it's a pure dungeon crawl derived from a card game:
One-deck Dungeon:
Also is that Paladin lady up front the lead? If so can we get more leads like her?.....please?
KOEI TECMO says it all, but wow xD those games are literally about everything wrong with Japanese games.
We've teased a couple things.
Hope to reveal more later this year & then release by the end of the year.
They're selectable classes, but by all means you could lead with her!
For the sake of completeness, here's the extra classes in the expansion:
Hmm having muscular and Women of color getting some spotlight is what I love to see.They're selectable classes, but by all means you could lead with her!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it look later.
Right that's the ticket. It's about fighting classical literature/theatre villains, I think you said?
It does kinda yeah but the way its framed is pretty normal and not really fanservicey to me.
It's got a drama/theater theme (with an emphasis on Shakespearean plays & characters) mixed with a high school magical girl theme mixed with a dash of Lovecraft stuff.
I mean, the majority of NOA1 isn't bad. I actually really like Arnice's design, aside from the game taking the great art and making her chest way bigger, but the dream parts where she's in an almost not there negligee is kind of awful. I'd actually pay a remake fee for them to do a PS5 version that made it look more like the actual artwork.
I still need to get back into 2, but I know from just some of the art and screenshots it may be worse.
Full Metal Furies and Magic Knight Rayearth are the only ones I could think of
store.steampowered.com
Full Metal Furies on Steam
From the creators of Rogue Legacy comes a "true-cooperative" action RPG. FULL METAL FURIES puts an emphasis on team play with a unique combat system where everyone is important. Play on the couch, alone or with friends, or make it an online party for up to four players!

One-deck Dungeon:
I have put so many hours into this on my phone and the iPad and I'm only now realising that all the character are women.
Atelier Escha and Logy?
If you play as Escha you can have all-female party members for adventures. Also, I just want to remind ppl of the glory of Threia Hazelgrimm.
FWIW: Atelier games vary as other readers have mentioned from OK to wow Idk what is going on here.
Threia is so cool oh my gosh lol. Ayesha is pretty good for this too since you could have Ayesha and Marion and Linca in your party.
ugh, nvm then. Nothing that gust makes anymore is salvageable. I mean Ryza is like 100% fanservice all the time with that design.
I enjoyed Blue Reflection, but it has a TON of fan service. Like a lot. The game is chock full of voyeuristic dressing rooms scenes, bathing scenes, workout scenes, beach and swimming scenes, lewd camera angles, etc. Oh, and whenever it rains, you can see the girls' skin and bras through their blouses.
Like, I'm not hating on the game, but it's incredibly dishonest to say that the game doesn't have fan service lol.
One of the sisters definitely wears a scantily-clad outfit though.
...How did I miss this? And I'm following your Twitter! LOL. (But I don't check Twitter very often, admittedly)
That second screen gives me heavy Shining Force vibes, was that intentional?
If there's any justice or sense in the world SMTV will let us choose the MC's gender and then you have so many wonderful demon ladies to choose from. But I'm not gonna hold my breath and relying on Atlus, even if it is team Maniax and not P-Studio, to do the right thing.
You know something's wrong with the state of things when a game that has a character in a bikini and booty shorts the whole game is getting mentioned as an unironic answer in this thread.
I tried and it was pretty impossible to get into so I think you can't.
It's a direct sequel and the story only really has any point in following FFX. That game's character designs are absolutely garish but I wouldn't play X-2 without X.
The party is 50/50 gender split in both games, but the women are absolutely the characters who drive the plot, provide point-of-view, and play the main protagonist roles.
In FFXIII, you can have an all woman combat party, but only once you reach that point in the midgame where the gang is all together and you can actually pick your party members freely.
Oh OK :(
I have the game I just didn't realize how awk it would be actually playing it and thinking that will be me for many hours.
The fact that people are resorting to "this game, if you bench all the male characters" or "this game with custom characters, that you can roll all female" (both against the spirit of the thread) is so very telling. :D The OP asks for a game that has an all-female party by default, the equivalent of what FFXV does; not one where you can do that if you want.
lol
missed the "non" in the title
There's Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure for the PS1 and DS, you play as a "quirky" village bumpkin who ends up on an adventure to rescue a prince. It is a monster collecting style game though so your party is made up of the main character plus any puppets you find. Since they're puppets technically there's nothing about gender involved but a lot of them are visually presented as girls or ambiguous (ex. stuffed animals) so there is that caveat. The game has a cutesy vibe all the way through but the main antagonist (also female) ends up feeling sexualized even by the games standards.
(Also the game has bland ugly dungeons with a horrible encounter rate. It's story and tone is cute but it's not something I would recommend.)
Here's a long play:
(that's the antagonist on the right in the thumbnail)
Some random time stamps:
1:09:55 - Combat
0:14:25 - A musical number, there are a bunch of them in the game
2:09:25 - One of the first scenes featuring the antagonist, and some of the sexualization
2:33:10 - This game's definition of a dungeon
The game got two sequels that were never localized. As far as I know they don't bring in any male party members but I don't know much about them so I'm probably wrong.

It's not explicitly graphic or anything, but at one point that one dude basically tries to rape Aika?
(and then the rapist goes good at the end? Vigoro?)
Zeboyd saving the fucking day as always. Didn't know about this, looking very cool!
There should be more where it isn't just an option or possible, tbh. I could also only think of FFX-2 and while it's a great game it's definitely fanservicey.
This looks sweet.
To be fair, all-male JRPG casts aren't exactly bountiful either.
Final Fantasy XV's bromance road trip was just... a thing.
Not sure if this qualifies since 1) it's not out yet and 2) we've only seen some trailers and demos at events, but would Christine Love's Get In the Car Loser count?
