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.
