technically any MMO (or other RPG) that lets you build a female character, but I would say FFXIV as there are a lot of interesting female secondary protags.
Hmm, by that standard, Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous both qualify, though opinions on the NPC companions vary.
Nier: Automata
Immortals: Fenyx Rising
A couple of the Star Ocean games let you choose between a Male or Female protag.
Related, but the Mass Effect protagonist can be male or female, but most people say the female voice actor is better, so it's not just a cosmetic choice it's actually the superior experience.
Or so I've heard. I only played as the female protagonist based on hearing this.
I tried a MaleShep run once, made it an hour or two. Mark Meer's delivery makes it sound like they just left the placeholder track in the final release.
My first run through was femshep and I just finished my second run through with broshep. He gets much much better in ME2 and is incredible in ME3.
Same thing with Cyberpunk 2077, I've heard playing as the female V has better VO.
