One of my top 3 JRPGs, Star Ocean: The Second Story, has a remake coming out early November. In the beginning of the game, you get the choice to play as one of the main characters, a male or a female, each of whom has their own story arc and exclusive party members that can be found during the playthrough.
not to rain on your parade but uuuh, this is patient gamers but ill check the og out
Metroid.
How did I scroll through this list and not see Samus Aran mentioned?
- Monster World IV
- Twinkle Tail
- If Tomb Raider is old enough for you
- Contra
- Touho
- another game I played (forgot the name, will edit later)
- most games where you could choose between 2 or more playable characters
Now that I think of it, the only not oversexualised female protagonists in retro games (I can think of rn) are from japanese titles. The USSR didn’t import video games and Europe and the US were just too conservative ig.
Actually not from older generations, but Tacoma and Deliver Us The Moon are a few years old and both are short, sweet space-related narrative games with a female protagonist.
