The female character isn't actually female.  
 
One of the things that really appealed to me about this game was that you could choose between a male and female character. I'm very used to playing games in which you have no choice, so I was very much eager to play a strong, kill-you-dead female character who uses swords! So what could be better? Except that she gets possessed by a male swordsman, so in the end I'm still playing a male character, doing what he wants, and playing his storyline, and not learning very much about the female character. I'm probably the only one who cares about this, but this is the one thing that seriously frustrates me about the game (more like the plot of the game). 
 
Anybody else notice this or feel the same way?

I thought it was kind of cool, but a bit confusing at the beginning.

Dude what? 
 
Japanese games are sure out there.

I'm pretty sure if it REALLY was a dude in her body, he wouldn't just be runnin' around playin' with swords. Ya know what I mean?! Eh? Eh?  I'm sorry for that. "
