To be fair, Giro’s vision on the protagonist seems to be different in base to who you choice. He seems to aknowledge Vent as a bit irresponsible while Aile more kind and lighthearted (also, a little fun fact: in Aile’s story, Giro says that he has been a guardian for a long time, while for Vent he says that he hasn’t been for too long. Actually, according to a very old interview, Giro lied to Vent about that and other things, because he didn’t trust him enough). Even the various NPCs of the game, the citizens and the equipe members of the Guardian Ship, are way more kind over Aile than Vent. These are small things, but that give an idea of how different the two actually are as characters. It’s not the same character just “one male the other female” like many people think. In Advent the thing was more explicit with Grey and Ashe thought, starting with the fact that the first was a reploid, the other was a human. But that’s another story (besides, I prefer to believe Advent never happened unless Capcom decided to continue the story from where they left. The cliffhanger at the end of Advent, and the feeling of incompleteness it gives due to never having sequels leaves a very sour taste in my mouth. So until further notice I will pretend ZX never had sequels).
