In Persona 3 Portable (part of the Persona series), players can choose to play as a female protagonist, though in the original Persona 3 they can only play as a male protagonist. However, the female character doesn’t have the dating options the male protagonist does (Alexander, 2010). Aigis, a cyborg character, can fall in love with her. Also, Mitsuru has a homoerotic relationship with the female protagonist, but there is not actual relationship option.
