Why would it be weird?
Yeah I heard about the GCN Harvest Moon gender split thing with the two versions of the same game. Considering that every previous Harvest Moon allowed you to pick that at the start, it's pretty weird that they would be releasing each seperatly. Generally, if it turns out the story is different depending on the gender, I will have a game for each one (like in Sword of Mana and Knights of the Old Republic). In order to do that here you have to pay more. I wish they had just packed both into the same game like they had before. I guess the new one is very different from start to end and that's why they had to actually delay that so much. I wonder if they'll pull that with Fable and release a "for girls" version of that too? Still, the idea that they would design each one and label them as FOR a specific gender kinda insults people who like to role play everything. Men did used to do all female roles in old plays long ago. Yes, that was a result of a very closed minded viewpoint at the time, but you get my point.
Finally, if you find it that weird to do something of the sort, is there something you're AFRAID of OB1? :D
Eh, anyway I hope this doesn't become a trend. I've loved being able to play whatever role I wish, and I certainly hope it doesn't get to the point where I can only do that by paying for TWO versions of a game.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
