I agree. I don't ever stop and think "yes, this person is a male" or "this person is a female", I notice "this person is funny" or what have you.
I think the concept of a main character is a little odd. In FFI-VI you could swap your characters about and play as whoever you wanted as your avatar, which I think was great and I'd like to see more of.
That being said, XV seems to be very male-dominated in terms of the main party. It seems like a very conscious decision and I wonder where they're going with it. Square know how popular their females are, so they wouldn't have done it for no reason. Still, I expect some tumblr social justice warriors to get up in arms about it regardless. Can't wait for that...
