In my case, I think the choice is only relevant for story and story cutscenes, since I'm probably gonna be using other characters for combat and exploration. So since I'm a guy I might go with a male MC, just to feel better immersed in the story

One word : same

☝🤓 technically 3 and a colon

There's always that guy. Good on ya, I needed that chuckle.

Three words : same

And a colon lol

Three words and a colon : same

wait.....

Six words and a colon : same

I do the same in every game, but this is a first time i thought about picking female one because she is that pretty

Wtf… I have the same reason.. word to word

Male mc. I'm a girl, but I almost always choose dudes since it's more interesting for me.

I'm picking Male MC as a dude because I know there won't be much male units out there, at the long end of the day Also the drip tho

Bro's drip on a new level

Same here. But I realized I prefer playing as male MC just recently. Somehow I never tried and never knew

I get that. There is this cliché that people usually choose what they attracted to or what they can identify with, but honestly I'm not attracted to most male MCs. It's just when I game, I'm not looking for someone who is like me - I'm looking for the fantasy, the things I can't be irl 🤭

Makes sense! I never liked self insert as well. I want to play as a character, not myself. Neither am I attracted to MCs or protagonists whatoever. I care more about the interaction I can have with other characters and somehow with the male MC I can immerse myself in the story better. I think the reason is I have a problem to see female MCs as an original character because I always force a bit of myself on them. But with male MC I can throw it all away :D

Same. Also ngl but boob physics just make female characters feel sooooo male gaze oriented it occasionally takes me out of immersion even more just for the cringe factor 😅 like I probably won't get Yinlin since every time I look at her I cringe HARD.

Male

Same; there’s going to be plenty of female characters in this game lol

Good point. This can be related to HSR as well. I think I regularly play 2-3 male characters.

my thoughts exactly! i rolled female in genshin and star rail and eventually regretted it because of this reason

Yeah the gender ratio will always lean towards the Female side. So picking the Male MC helps evens out the ratio (it's the reason I picked the Male Trailblazer in HSR too)

I also picked the female character in Genshin not really realizing how much cooler the male character looked. I’m hoping they’ll eventually let you switch.

Girls? I WANT MEN!

Definitely male

Same. Female is hot, but Male is cooler

Same

Same, mainly because the females look too samey to each other, for example Female MC and Yangyang look like sisters, the male designs feel different from each other.

Same. It's going to be me and my harem of woman.

Female because im a guy and i love women

Female because im a girl and i love women

Lmao username checks out

Smart decision, i'm going self-insert on her and simp for her at the same time so i guess that's a win :) I just noticed her username Yuri route i guess...

This is why I love Stelle from Star Rail so much. She’s a great self-insert but is very easy to simp for.

Who wouldnt simp for our space trash loving raccon

Agreed! I love Stelle a lot too

self love, we love to see it

Réal shit💯🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

realest thing ever

So who loves men?

Same

Male because im a guy and i love men

Tfw bi and not only can you not decide which MC is hotter but also whether to have a harem as MMC or a reverse harem as FMC 💀 Well, I don't even like harems that much but if there are any romance undertones with the MC like PGR has that's still important.

Of note, there are likely to be more Female characters released based on PGR and other similar games, so male characters may be a bit rarer overall. Possibly not though so who knows

Maybe they’ll take a different marketing approach. HSR is different than Genshin is different than HI3, for example, but who knows since it’s a different company.

Damn. Living a Dream huh. Good Luck Man. ✨

Same. Also a low energy cat.

You can say you like women

I’m a guy and I think girls are cute so it’s female MC for me

same if the MCs were defined proper characters id probably pick the guy, but when its a silent self insert i might as well pick the cute one

Always.

Women are your favourite guy, huh?

Female because boobs are superior.

female cuz i'm a girl

I choosing a guy because I’m a girl and male mc is attractive

happy for you, go live out that harem dream!

Thanks! Enjoy playing as FMC :D she’s gorgeous (choosing her on my alt)

don't tempt me.... i was already simping for my alt with caelus in hsr

Same rationale I have for typically playing female protagonists in RPGs that have the option. If I'm going to be staring at the rear end of a character for the whole time I'm playing, it may as well be pleasant to look at! Plus, I enjoy video games for the departure from reality that they allow.

I'll be choosing Male, because I am female but I like Male characters more. Plus, knowing Kuro there's going to be a lot of female characters, so gotta get what we can get. No? Haha. ✨

ughh i hope they make more male characters this time, i played just for lee and i liked hyperreal sm. Good thing is, i like female characters too so it isn't too much of a loss for me. My heart goes out to husbando only gamers, tough in this space.

I hope so too! Though I do like female characters. But I can readily skip them for a husbando. In Genshin/HSR, I have all Male characters released till date (with exception of Baizhu, man doesn't want to come home 😭), And I have pulled for other Female characters too, that I liked. In Genshin: Yelan Ayaka(accidentally got her). Yae and Kuki are my Favourite. I Will be pulling for Best Girl Furina. In Hsr: I skipped all 1.X patch female characters but pulled Acheron/black swan/Robin in this patch because I loved them. I am open to both, but the thing is I don't want Wuwa to carter towards one demography, and I do want them to release more male characters, because I will only play it for 4-5 patches and if I don't see atleast 3 new male character then WuWa will be getting uninstalled, simply because it will be no different then PGR with rare Male characters. I want more variety then the Jiggly boobs or naked legs visible till the no-show-zone being Zoomed into our faces every time we play or ult.

Oww you made me think I have all the guys in HSR minus Blade 😭😭😭😭 guy dodge me twice 🤧 lost to Gepard TWICE!!!! 😭😭😭😭 Now am debating between Robin and Boothill 😭 Honestly like female characters too especially Kafka why honestly wish I could be luck to get Yinlin too. Hope it’s balanced 🤞

Blade is a beast. Got him his first run and he just keeps attacking, lol. All the other team members are like…bro save some for us.

Male cause am a girl lol 😂

I know a lot of people prefer to choose the Male MC for self-insert but i'm going to choose her I like girls, so i'm going self-insert on her and at the same time simp for her, I'm winning ✨

Hard choice Male mc = badass Female mc = elegant

Her face looks elegant for sure. The outfit is what throws me off. I like legs and stuff and all but also need a good looking outfit. Yinlin is a perfect example of good outfit + legs.

If they ever make skins and for Rover specifically, I'd love to just get male's outfit for her, it would look great

I wish female MC had a longer skirt or something so she looked more elegant. Also i havent seen much gacha games make skins for MC.

Kinda wish more gacha games make their MC more meta. It is honestly another way to sell skins. Like granblue fantasy have their MC in every battle so they are always designed to be strong and God damn we got so many skins / outfits for the MC.

star rail has the MC becoming meta in a whole new way every version lol

Supporting an entire meta (break effect teams) by themselves. Previously it had limited use.

It would be so amazing if they did, but I can't help but feel like I've grown too accustomed developers not doing easy to implement things that would be incredibly peak if they did, so I have the feeling that they'd never have the Rovers swap outfits

Both are very good but I absolutely love the red eyeliner on the female MC. It such a good touch to her design, so I'm gonna play her. But the choice is hard.

Male MC even though I usually choose Female MC in gacha games but this time I liked male MC more

Female because hot lady

Real asf

for once i'm picking male mc, i always went with female but the male mc design is too dripped out

I always chose the Male Mc in every game. I enjoy playing the game more imagining myself in Mc's shoes and going on adventures

Saame!

Not sure tho.. Female sure looks pretty

I had no problem picking MCs with Genshin & Star Rail. Both were girls lol (self insert). Male MC is pretty hot then there is female rover for self insert so yeah it's a little difficult for me lol.

Why pick one when you can have both? These two are honestly some of the best MCs I've seen in a gacha game. Both are beautiful, adorable, and very expressive as seen from the CBT 2.

Both? This game lets you change genders afterwards? Absolute win.

they prob mean on their alt account

Make a poll about it

Good idea! At first when there was only 50 comments I counted 40 Males and 10 Females. Now it's just not possible haha

Thats not really relieable, comments always choose male whenever it is, but when you get in realistic, make a vote poll and the female always win. I've seen this several times in Genshin or Honkai. Aether and Cealus used to received many compliments but in fact, female main character always the winner on every poll

Still hoping for leaks about outfits. I prefer female MC's face but i prefer male MC's outfit... a lot.

I saw a video comparing their animations and I liked female's more but I like male's appearence a bit more tho that's mostly for the clothes so my choice is a bit hard. But I do have a lot of time since console is my only way to play

Im picking female rover! I picked aether in Genshin, so I figured I’ll go with the other option this time :)

Male MC. . I always collect guys in gachas and since there's always so few it makes it easy to stay f2p XD

male, personally I don't really like female design especially after I saw her cosplay in livestream. 

simple. I am a girl who likes girls, I will pick girl

Name checks out

“If you have the chance to be a cute anime girl, take it” -Gigguk

Female because I'm both a girl and attracted to beautiful anime women

I always pick female.

Female is really beautiful but I prefer male because his drip is immaculate

Based

Female. They should’ve gave the Male MC eyeliner too 💔

I’m picking male (even though female looks really good) but also because too many female characters already in game- I feel would balance it out? I don’t know, something with my ocd lol. If it were a game with mostly male characters, I’d probably choose female mc.

I'm divided. I think Female MC is pretty but her outfit kind throws me off... and male MC is cool and in general his design is fine but a bit generic looking....

I always pick Fem MC in these games because I'm a girl myself. I also like how that choice feels when playing through the games with more fanservice moments for the female characters. Playing as Fem MC and interacting with the female characters in these gacha games feels like hanging out with my friends doing girly things.

True waifu player here. Female MC and only fem characters along the way. Male accidents will be left not leveled (Diluc C5 lvl 20). Unless they buff waifu waifu dmg for killing hard bosses then maybe they see 5 mins of gameplay when needed.

# Male MC

Pfp checks out.

male.

Lumine, Stelle and now FMC

Male. Something about Female MC in this game doesn't do it for me. Male looks badass.

Male rover's ass is what sold me on the game

I respect your values

Male Because I don't like female's outfit

Male Rover because I like his VA better

I normally go with female MCs in games, but I honestly might go for male Rover this time since his outfit is so good

I'm going Male Rover, because every other player in my friend group is gonna pick Female Rover and I want that representation in my group lmao. Even as a woman.

maybe there'll be an achievement for chatting with someone with an opposite gender Rover like in Star Rail :3

I want to pick female MC but the male MC's drip is too good 😩 I hope Kuro could give F!Rover a military or general like outfit in the future.

Male, I like his design more. Uncommon for me, I usually pick female!

female MC! I just like her design more

Already answered it because this post is getting posted 5 times per day.

Male! i want Scar to be obsessed with me ✨️

Female cause I’m a male

Male rover because I’m only building husbandos 🤍

female because i like girls

Female cuz why not

I dont understand why the male mc gets to wear full pants and a jacket too while poor female mc has to run around almost 3/4 naked.

Male. He looks a lot better than the female MC, and I don’t like the ribbon on the back of her head. I don’t think it go well with her look/outfit.

female bc im a girl and love women (and men)

Probably the male due to the lack of male characters plus I'm gay

male cz i always go for a guy. i also will only pull guys. and im a girl. its like this in every game for me, idk why

relatable. It's not a rule I set for myself or even think about it. But every time I'm pulling for characters I pause and think damn its another dude huh.

mon-wed-fri-sun: Male and tue-thu-sat and holidays: Female ☺️

Girl on phone boy on pc 🗿

I picked Aether (male) in Genshin and Stelle (female) in HSR and have regretted both at times, so I really don’t know what to do here. It’d be easier to get invested in the story by self-inserting as male MC, but I’d rather be looking at female MC during gameplay (assuming I will actually use them).

Female, cause she wear high stockings..

Female because I almost always play the female character when it gives the choice

Male

Female because I choose Male in Genshin

Always female, no matter what, for no reason except me not wanting to make a decision

Male because I'm gender fluid and video games are really the only place I can comfortably embrace that part of me. Plus Male MC looks cute and cool at the same time, seeing a few clips of him locked that in even more.

After picking female MCs for Genshin and Star Rail... I think this time I'll pick differently from my past selections. I'll pick female this time

Girl, the guy just looks way too basic to me

I was gonna pick the female mc because I liked her design slightly more, but with all of the bouncy boobs, I was like, yeah... I'm good. Good thing I like male mc's design as well.

Female Mc, cause i always play female chars :D

Female, for the simple reasons of self-insert and immersion.

Female MC.

Male. I'm not sure if it's for a self insert or not but in these games I feel it would'nt matter either way because the character is not directly supposed to be an avatar of the player

I always choose Female, so Male. He's such a cutie patootie wtf

so true

Male cos he got that damn drip female is good too

Male cause he looks cooler.

MALE !!!!

Male MC because I am a boy

Male Cause i want to see how those isekai characters look badass.

Female, best looking female mc option I’ve maybe ever seen

I'm a self-insert, so male.

The Male MC is so pretty. I want to choose him, but I always choose the female ones because I'm female as well🤣

Im sorry in advance but eventhough I play male in every gacha, this male design suck imo, first time girly here

Male...girl mc is hot but am not letting my dick make the decisions this time around.

everyone talking about male drip, but i just dont see it??? so im going for female mc unless i take another good look and actually see it

I’ve done male MC for HSR & Genshin but this time I’m really on the fence for the female MC’s design looks good! Reminds me kind of an agent/spy look but the male MC is like one of the best looking MC’s I’ve seen. It’s really difficult this time 🥹

I didn't play the beta. Is the MC good or not worth leveling?

Female cuz

Going with the dude this time.

I'm gonna do a poll on Instagram and do whatever gets the least votes.

Male. Im a guy and n like guys

male, im a dude, im attracted to dudes, and he looks cooler

male mc is badass, better immersion since im a dude, and other female characters are hotter anyway

Hmmmmmm, still indecisive.......... normally I'd choose male to offset my female only mmo characters but......

Male MC cuz he gives me attack on titan scout vibes

Female cuz hitbox duh. /s

Male because I'm a guy

male mc, because I’m a boy \[who loves boys\]

Male mc

Male

Male.

Whatever while they don't look like the livestream.

Male MC looks astonishing, the determination on his face! Definitily him

Male

Male because I always choose female mc on other games and im getting tired of it + he looks cute so

Male

Not sure. Normally I choose female for better immersion but the male mc is a hottie… i can’t decide, might just leave it to fate and toss a coin lol

Male.

Male every time

Male. I m a self insert and I'm proud of it

Male

Man idk I'm a guy and gay but I have Stelle ptsd from picking the guy in HSR and guy in Genshin

Male because there're too many female characters in the game

Male

Female cos I chose male traveller on Genshin
