More folding cranes?
Different music based off gender selection sounds neat though. Its a small thing but could create unique moods between the two choices.
Actually, I'm kind of frustrated at the idea of two different music depending on the gender. They couldn't just mix it up, like having the new battle music and the old Mass Destruction be randomized when you enter battles or change depending on what your battle is?
Anyways, who will be the Lovers arcana for when you choose the girl hero? It can't be Junpei... and Akihiko would be pretty weird. It worked well for the male hero because Yukari was in the same grade as him, and even in the same class. But now I think it won't work as well for the new path unless she's lesbian/bisexual.
I'd say they won't change the arcanas at all. Yukiko was the lovers Arcana but she wasn't the main female lead, at least i didn't think there was a female lead in P4. Then again it's a different game. But playing as the female MC would raise a good few questions, as in who the main male protagonist will be. So many questions, so little answers.

Rise was the lovers arcana, Yukiko was the Priestess. The character with the Lovers arcana is considered to be the principal lover to the main character. And playing as the female would mean that there is no "main male protagonist" because that would be the girl you are playing as.
" @FluxWaveZ: Whoops. My bad. Speaking of which, if you played the female MC then the Fool Arcana (the male MC) would be empty then. No male lead then. Gah, my head hurts. "
What? The female MC just replaces the male MC. That means she's of the Fool arcana then, she's the lead.
" The new character thought to be the Female Protagonist has XXII written in her hair in hairpins. The Fool card in the Tarot deck can be 0 or XXII (22). Female protagonist is therefore on the opposite side of the deck to Male protagonist."

Here's a creepy thought. How awkward will those midnight visits from Death be when you're a girl? And I wonder if he'll hit on the female MC the way he did on everyone else in the PS2 version.

But that's an impossibility because Pharos reflected the image of how the main character looked like when he was a child.
