I really don't think XIII and X-2 were handled all that well, so I would probably have an issue if they don't have competent female characters in XV. I don't necessarily care if they're in the lead role or not. But I do take issue whether they exist at all or not. If it's a bunch of competent dudes and a bunch of whimpy demure whiny annoying females to complement them then I'll probably take issue as well

So yeah, I prefer games to have a sprinkling of decent females. Its rarely done very well when the lead role is the female. But I want them on the team at the very least. And if it can be done well, I would approve of having a female lead. But my expectations aren't quite that high
