I'd like to see more well written female protagonists in general so people get it into their skulls that females on the covers of your games won't mean less sells. I'm of course referencing the fact Sony (I think it was Sony, I forget who exactly) originally wanted to take Ellie off the cover of The Last of Us for stupid reasons. Final Fantasy is hardly the only game series in the world that have been male centric.

That said I'd gladly accept the choice to pick your gender. WRPGs like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Skyrim, Fallout, etc. have spoiled me in this regard. Hell, even Pokemon lets you choose which gender you want to be. I prefer playing as women, so yeah.
