Mega Man ZX's first game gives you a choice of two characters - a boy (Vent) and girl (Aile), neither of which exist in the story at the same time and are more or less Distaff Counterparts of each other, each existing in their own little world.

Also evident when female characters haven't been bug-tested enough - for example, dialogue glitches referring to the player character as the wrong gender. Most easily seen with romantic content - the same female NPCs, and only female NPCs, will flirt with the main character regardless of how the player designed them.

In the worst-case scenarios, it comes across very clearly as the game expecting a male player and not bothering with other options. It is also increasingly common to see games aim to be more inclusive towards transgender and non-binary players, generally allowing the player to mix and match gendered traits to their liking, usually resulting in any distinction between their options becoming even more of a purely aesthetic choice.īut while gender equality is an admirable goal, it can still be implemented sloppily. In games with romantic plots, the hero's gender may determine the available love interests, but this generally won't affect the main plot. Character stats aside, the choice will have minimal impact on the game scenario, perhaps affecting only the manner in which Non Player Characters address the character. In a rare few cases, there will be a small difference in beginning stats, but no difference in terms of the maximum ability score that can be gained. In those RPGs where one can generate one's own characters, it is often the case that the sex of the character is a purely aesthetic choice, with no difference whatsoever in terms of in-game stats.
