Should I stick with Final Fantasy XV?

I've been playing Theatrhythm a TON and decided to try my hand at some of the proper Final Fantasy games. I tried getting into Final Fantasy XV back when it launched, but I couldn't really connect with it. I was hoping with this newfound desire to play the games, though, I might appreciate it more.

But I've been trying to get into it again, and I just. cant. And I'm wondering if it's because your party is all guys. I have such a hard time connecting to that kind of dynamic. It seems like that's a major part of the game, too.

So I'm wondering if it might get better for me if I keep playing? Or is this a lost cause?

The only Final Fantasy games I've beaten are XIII and XIII-2, and I have a sneaking suspicion it related to how much I loved the women protagonists in the game. And so far I have not felt that way about anyone in Final Fantasy XV.

Did anyone else have trouble connecting to it? Did it get better?
