No, OP doesn't specify JRPG's but does that change anything? I'm sure there are more games out there where the core party members are all male but the vast majority of games that I can think of that offer a party system are either mixed gender, custom character, or preset characters where the player chooses who to add.
The mentor character across the Arland trilogy has a disturbing infatuation with young girls, tricks her students into wearing skimpy clothing, jokes about sexually molesting them in their sleep, and spikes one with a magic potion that de-ages her, because she (and, it seems, the devs) didn't want her to grow into an adult over the course of the three games.Most Atelier games don't really have much fanservice. There's more fanservice in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 than most of the PS3 Atelier games.
I really enjoy Nights of Azure, but saying it leans a bit fanservicey is drastically underselling it...
That second screen gives me heavy Shining Force vibes, was that intentional?
Yeah, this is what I had in mind. But hey, at least there's some interesting-looking suggestions here even if not all of them fit the criteria.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.
I wonder if Magic Knight Rayearth might actually fit the bill. I've never played it though, so I don't know how fan servicey it is. Since it's from the 90's I suspect it's actually less bad than today...
That's what I figured, based on the party placement and HUD, but I still dig it. I'm not into "magical girls" stuff actually but I may make an exception for this...The game doesn't play like Shining Force, but yes, we were looking into ways to try to make the game stand out and we thought that the more cinematic look of Shining Force would work well with the Magical Girl Anime vibe so we used that as an inspiration.
One of the Touhou RPGs? Then again they are FAN games not made by ZUN, but they usually aren't lewd / fanservice.
Is this in specific reference to Genso Wanderer? Because, well, it's a good game buuut I'm not sure I'd recommend it with OP's criteria. Female characters? Yes. No fanservice? Ehhh, the game definitely has its share of anime bullshit. I definitely don't think any game with swimsuit DLC (like GW) is in the spirit of the thread
From little that I have played, the arland trilogy is maybe fineish. I mean there's a ton of fan service but compared to the sad state of the industry they are a bit better. Other ones, oof, I feel they got worse as they went on. Ryza is just disgusting.

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.

Came here to post this.Ikenfell, almost. I think it's all women and non-binary characters.
I don t remember a sailor moon rpg on snes. Which game ?I literally don't know so I'm just throwing it out there but maybe one of the Sailor Moon RPGs? SNES titles still managed fanservice somehow but it wasn't as prevalent I guess
I'd say they're talking about Sailor Moon: Another Story, which was never released outside of Japan, but has been translated into English by fans.
This one. There was no official English release but it has been fan translated twice now.
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?
We've teased a couple things.
Hope to reveal more later this year & then release by the end of the year.
