To be honest, I like playing male characters sometimes as well. I'm a fan of the Witcher series myself and (most) of the Shin Megami Tensei games. (I'm playing through SMT1 through a SNES emulator with a fan translation and it's bloody hard... But it makes you feel good when you beat a hard enemy) I doubt, however, that I'll try Megami Tensei (FamiCom).
The only reason I prefer P3P so P3FES is that you have full and complete control over your party in P3P so you'll die less often due Mitsuru trying to Marin Karin a boss enemy.
Overall, I still prefer Persona 4. I don't have a Vita (nor is there any functional emulator) so I can't try out the Golden version.
I'll keep an eye on your game, though. I do admire the work that's going in and the effort you make to communicate.
