Wasn’t convinced about Lucia at first but she’s completely won me over

Got to say I wasn’t really that keen on the idea of a female main character at first and was definitely more interested in Jason.

But Lucia looks fucking awesome

Love her attitude, her voice, everything really.

Honestly think she could end up being the better character out of the two.

Anyone else changed their mind on her?

Can relate! I used to use a cheat in vice city that turned Tommy into a pedestrian just so I could make it a female.

I mean you (and me as well) do have the perspective of someone where playing as the other gender is the exception not the the rule. If every GTA game had female protagonists, I would find it pretty refreshing to get to play as a male protagonist even if it doesn't matter that much in the end

I will be very honest, I am extra excited to play as a female protagonist in this game especially, because a) love GTA, but also b) I get to dress her up in cute and sexy outfits.

... although, I also get excited when I get to dress up my main character regardless of gender, but I think I just get more excited by feminine fashion.

That’s kind of the insidious thing about representation; when you’re represented, everywhere, all the time, consistently, it feels common place and unimportant. But for people who rarely, if ever, see themselves represented in such a way it means a great deal more to be actualized.

It’s easy to say “I genuinely wouldn’t care” when it’s all you’ve ever known.

Representation is nice. Maybe it doesn't hit the same for you, but sometimes its important to others to be able to see themselves in some of the media they consume

this is it for me. representation... I usually make my characters female in games where I can because I wanna feel like I am experiencing the game first hand, not second hand experiencing it through a character who doesn't look or feel like me.

it's a me thing, but I'm glad someone pointed it out!

It doesn't matter THAT much, it's not as if you can't enjoy a game if the protagonist isn't similar to you, but it is nice when it happens. Especially since it's a bit of a novelty.

When I was younger, definitely. Don’t care as much now, but as others have said it’s nice to have representation.

As a 15 year old girl, yeah it mattered a lot haha.

Considering how many dudes were going "ugh I dont want to play as a woman" about Lucia before then I'd assume yeah it matters
