Pretty much pick the male option for every Japanese game. There is still a good chance the male option is just straight better. My latest example is final fantasy explorer. Females only get 2 magic outfits and no strength outfits and males get 2 strength outfits and no magic. Strength builds tend to be way better and more diverse.

In fact, playing the female is better in XY because you get more clothes to play dress up with.

Most Japanese games I've played where you can pick your dude's gender have them be statistically identical. hopeandjoy posted:This is true, but you have no idea how much untranslated dialog I've found over the years in them. Oh, definitely. Harvest Moon games have always been good in spite of Natsume, not because of them.

Ausgoons If anyone's on the fence about Little Battlers eXperience, Target is torching their stock for $15 a copy (It's really fun, buy it!). Xenoblade's $40 too and they're selling N3DS cover plates for $5 apiece.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Ausgoons Seconding the recommendation for LBX. The difficulty is really low during the story but the postgame content ranges from challenging to brutal. The game also has some surprisingly fun juggle combos given its design as a children's robot 3D action game and a few other gameplay restrictions.

boom boom boom posted:in Monster Hunter, the female characters get way better and more diverse armor options Oof, I don't know about that. My 3U char was female and I was pretty annoyed by the usual face and midriff exposure in an overwhelming majority of sets I saw. 4U I play a dude and half of it makes him look like a goddamn Gundam, plus I got to give him a pompadour and smarmy poo poo eating grin that made it feel like he deserved every time he got walloped in a monster intro cutscene. Frankly I think you should be able to get either style as either sex and mix and match at will.

LODGE NORTH posted:All 3DS games are region locked right? I have a hacked 3DS that has region locks removed, but when I put Bravely Default in, the game starts in Japanese (Japanese console). No other game I have does this. The region free thing just removes the lock on the game so it starts, the console will still forward your 3DS's region to the game. If it has a fitting localization (and apparently Bravely Default still has the japanese files?) it'll automatically choose that one. You can get around it by booting into the Homebrew Launcher, then choosing HANS, then launch Bravely Default through it. HANS will give you the option to change the region the game sees before it boots, and should allow you to change the language to English.

In Animal Crossing you can dress in whatever the hell you want, although if a male buys female clothes Sable will get a little weird about it, from what I hear.

If you try on the clothes she'll act surprised and comment on the player's bold choice, but I don't think she does it in a way that discourages the player from dressing the way they want to. If you buy it without trying it on she'll assume it's a gift.
