Ugahitta That is actually what I expect at this point: if not a rare/hidden normal enemy (a-la barrel knight at the time of 0.3), then almost definitely a boss. To reiterate: based on what I have seen so far, I do
not, not in the slightest, expect the game to suddenly become populated by female enemies FMC can go to town with. However, the very existence of female enemies at all is that glimmer of hope for me that nothing short of 100% confirmation of the opposite is going to extinguish. Unfounded? Mostly. Impossible? Far from.
TL;DR do not lose hope.
