Well look at it this way, finally females get an FF game more or less just for themselves. All other FF games have been strongly male oriented if you look at it. The women deserve to have a female main character too, it's only fair.
Depends on if you like 20 hours of gameplay in an RPG or not, it is really short after all besides if anyone came here in an intelligent mood they would have realized I'm looking for opinions in the first place.....
