You know, this trend of FORCING women into main roles is really just... I'm starting to get to the point where I am avoiding any media where I feel that practice has taken place. It's one thing for an artist to say, hey, I want to tell a story about a girl or woman and another thing entirely when corporate suits, who don't give a fuck about anything game related start talking PC correctness for the sake of buzz or capitalizing on current trends.

Art that is tampered with is no longer art imo. It's product.

 

But it doesn't have to be forced or anything. Maybe Anouma just really wanted to include a female option and the plot also demands it.
