"Let's think positive!"
In approximate chronological order:
- Alis Landale (Phantasy Star 1 on SMS)
- Tamaki Uchida* (Shin Megami Tensei: ...if on SFC)
- Maya Amano** (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on PS1)
- Shion Uzuki (Xenosaga series on PS2)
- Yuna*** (Final Fantasy X-2)
- Lightning Farron (Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII-3)
* SMT:if offer choice of m/f protag, but f. is canonical based on her appearance in Persona 1 and 2, which also canonizes her name.
** Maya is a party member in Persona 2: Innocent Sin, but becomes the party leader in the second half of the P2 duology.
*** Yuna is a party member in Final Fantasy X, but becomes the leader of an all-woman party in X-2.
