At the beginning of the game, you are faced with choosing between the male and female avatar of Alear in Fire Emblem Engage. Once you make this choice, you will be stuck with this avatar throughout your playthrough. This leaves the question of whether you should pick the male or female Alear in Fire Emblem Engage.
Does it matter which Alear you pick - Male & Female Differences
There are a few slight differences depending on whether you pick the female or male avatar. Some classes are gender-locked, meaning you can only assign them to a male or female character, depending on the gender and class requirement. This tends not to matter too much for the main character, as they usually have a unique class for both genders.
Additionally, some characters will be able to have an S-Rank relationship with Alear, depending on the protagonist's gender. This includes all same-sex and opposite-sex relationships. This is one of the main aspects of Fire Emblem Engage, so this is likely the biggest determining factor in choosing which avatar to play as.
