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

I'm in the middle of my platinum run of P5 and I beat P3P (again) last year... And I noticed that FeMC and Maya was the ones I enjoyed the most playing of all Persona games.
This made me remember on how some years ago some people said that they had a lot of problems relating to a FeMC in a game like Persona... But I find this gen we had many good examples of women in big games so I wanted to know if the Persona audience would welcome playing a story tailored for a different gender than the usual
Is this some trap for people to accidentally expose their sexism or something? I don't understand the point of this question or thread
I'd buy it if it was a man.
I'd buy it if it was a woman.
I'd buy it it I was given a choice for either.
I'd buy it regardless of what romance options was given, heterosexual-only/LGTQ-only/or both.
I wouldn't buy it if the game was hot garbage.

Very fair, I think that if I posted this question gamefaqs for example the response would be very different... But that involves having to post in gamefaqs *shudder*
Absolutely, and I feel that 99%, if not 100%, of people who like persona would say the same.
I will say that if they add in LGBT options when you can only be a FeMC, the narrative would just turn to "why couldn't they add it with a male MC". So I don't know if it'd be the right choice. Have both male and female main characters with LGBT options, or stick with male MC with LGBT options, IMO.

Let me put it this way - if they re-re-released Persona 5 with an alternative female protagonist I would buy that too.
Might get a bit more variety of answers on the atlus or persona subreddits too. But yeah, wont be a lot of disagreement here lol.

I agree with that, one of the reasons of this post is that I did remember a talk like 6 years ago about playing with a woman in a game like Persona that involves a lot of social features and relationships.
And the answers were much more mixed than now... But like I said it was in another forum.
The real brave question would be "Would you buy Persona 6 if the protag (male or female) was unattractive and had unattractive link up options.
Kind of feels like bait to me. The only answer should be the same for any gender for any game which is yes. I care more about how the character is written over everything else.
Yeah, would be great if the protagonist was female.
But I probably wouldn't buy "a JRPG with a mature story centered around adults" which a lot of people on here seem to want, I like the school setting (college would be alright too) and would be much less interested in the series if they were to drastically change it.

I mean some of my favorite games of recent memory are AC: Odyssey with Cassandra, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. This has never been an issue.
