Which Appearance Should You Choose?

Choose the one you like.

Character appearance do not drastically affect the game’s difficulty despite more equipment being available to “Female” characters. In general, just choose the look you want for your characters based on your preferences.

For those who want to min-max, choose the “Female” appearance.

If you are not very particular on your character’s gender and simply want to min-max (optimize), it is recommended to go for characters with the “Female” appearance. Doing so grants a character access to more gear that are usually better than those available to male characters.

Can you change your character’s gender?

Not possible after confirming it.

It is not possible to change your character’s gender after confirming it at the start of the game. Because of this, decide carefully which appearance you would like the main character  (Hero) to adopt for the rest of the main story.
