I finished Kuon, which is a really cool survival horror game from a pre-Dark Souls From Software. All of its 3 playable characters are women, of which the final, unlockable one is apparently some legendary Japanese mystic whom the devs decided to gender-swap for the game. The funny thing is that they still made the female Abe no Seimei unflappably cool and ludicrously OP, demolishing all the enemies in the game with ease shrug-outta-hecks

Also Japanese writers just love turning male historical figures into girls, don't they michael-laugh

I actually ended up really liking Kuon's writing and characters, so it's interesting to see the devs being kinda weird about their female protagonists
