Would you buy Persona 6 if the protag was a woman?

[Arcana Wiz]

The title says everything

Not a dual choice, not a spin off, and yes it would have romance (LGBT and male options)

Many defend P5 and P5R lack of FeMC because they say it's very resource costly to have in the game, and they prefer new content or a better polished game... Others say that the devs are free to tell the story they want to tell.

So if the new dev team wanted to do a Persona with only FeMC would you be interested in it?

NOTE: This thread isn't about the possibility of this happening, so I appreciate if people didn't come here and only replied: "lol no chance of this happening" . I want to know what if the Persona audience would be interested in this premise.

Note2: Another problem of Persona (post 2) is LGBT representation, so while this isn't the focus of the thread, yes, Atlus would finally respect our community.

Edit: When I said many defend the lack of FeMC I was talking about the community in general, remembering threads in others forums than Resetera

 

[Deleted member 36578]

Of course.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

Yeah? Why wouldn't I?

 

[nsilvias]

Yeet

 

[Exist 2 Inspire]

Sure

 

[Kalentan]

Yes.

 

[Weebos]

Yes.

 

[--R]

FeMC is still the best main character of Persona, so yeah.

 

[Whatislove]

That sounds great, especially if there's a ton of romances still. Let me have my reverse harem.

 

[Lueken]

Yup.

 

[Lokoline]

Yes

 

[Patent]

Feel like this is a weird question, But of course i would

 

[Arkanim94]

Of course.

 

[gunlovefiction]

Hell no

 

[Wonkertonk]

Wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to me if the main character was Male or Female.

 

[Transistor]

I mean, it's the main draw from P3P for me, so absolutely.

I'm gonna side-eye the fuck out of anyone who says no

 

[Kalor]

Of course, anyone who loses interest at the idea of a female protagonist probably isn't worth catering to. I don't expect it but it'd be more interesting than another male protagonist.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I'd buy 10 copies.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Er, what? Yeah, i buy plenty of games with female leads and i also make my character female, usually, when possible.

Id also buy it if it was a guy again?

 

[Hx]]

Gender role never affects my decisions so yes.

 

[TRUSTNO1]

I'd rather have them fix the series glaring issues like pacing and bloating that plague the series since 3. A girl MC aint gonna fix jack shit.

 

[Reckheim]

yes, of course. Not sure too many people would care if that's their vision.

 

[Dabi3]

100000%

 

[ffvorax]

I dont see why this could be a problem in any way...?
Why the sex of the main pg should affect the interest in playing the game?

 

[Hey Please]

No. Diversity for diversity's sake should not inhibit creator's vision.

/S. Honestly, I am kind of tired of playing as a straight dude.

 

[Ghos]

what kind of question is this in 2020. especially for a JRPG. especially for PERSONA lol.

 

[Aaron D.]

I always choose a female character if given the option in the character creator screen.

After 40+ years of playing gruff white dude in virtually every game out there, I pick a female any opportunity I can get.

 

[Mozendo]

Doesn't matter to me, only thing that will make me support the franchise again if they stop with their LGBTQ bigotry.

 

[JCADX]

I don´t base my buying purchases on the protagonist gender, i basically consider the quality of the game (which Atlus offers with Persona), so i don´t see a problem.

 

[Gold Arsene]

I'm buying Persona 6 regardless so yeah.

Also insert Stone Ocean joke here.

 

[Ralemont]

You're posting this on ResetEra.

 

[Niks]

What? How is this even a question?
Of course I would.

 

[Bundy]

Yes? Why wouldn't I? How is this even a question :P

 

[stumblebee]

Nope. But I wouldn't buy it regardless. Persona 5 felt like an 85 hour slog.

 

[garion333]

Uh, yeah.

 

[Deleted member 8196]

What kind of question is this? lol

 

[Deleted member 2254]

This is truly a gamers rising up moment.

 

[Billdrew]

I definitely still buy, but from a purely selfish point of view it would even better if we got a male protagonist with LGBT options. Would happily take a female protag though

 

[LiK]

Sure.

Hell, Makoto felt more like a protag in P5 than the protag, imo.

 

[rhandino]

I am sure the otaku dwellers will have no issue to flock towards a female led Persona 6.

Even more if she is hot, demure and her outfit resemble Kasumi from P5R because of course that's how modern ATLUS would roll.

 

[Salty Rice]

Sure. No reason why i shouldnt.

 

[JudgmentJay]

Weird question. Of course I would. It would be a nice change of pace.

 

[trajon]

Yeah... I dont think you're going to see many "no" answers to this one. Of course I would. No brainer.

 

[Deleted member 11008]

I would get a extra copy to gift, actually.

 

[Deleted member 6263]

No.

But only because I don't like Persona games and probably wouldn't buy P6 anyways, not because of a lady protag (which would be cool).

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

Sure would. Although I haven't bought P5 because I knew Royal was coming, so that is what will really keep me at bay. They love to make those complete editions later on.

 

[Strat]

I'd buy Persona 6 regardless. So...yes.

 

[Potterson]

Sure. It would be an interesting perspective, refreshing for the series. Not this "stoic anime guy" variation in every game.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Of course, I'd love to see that happen

 

[Aneru]

Absolutely, my dream for PS6 would be a female protag and for it not to be set in a highschool. Give me another Maya Amano!
