Worth noting also that the player character is, without question, the best realised player character in any gatcha game.
He's not a nameless, faceless NPC. He's not a silent protagonist. He doesn't just talk through through the occasional dialogue prompts. He has proper conversations and full dialogue all the way through.
He's a proper character with a backstory and a place in the world, we know exactly where he came from and what brought him to where he is. He's got friends, enemies, people who care about him and people who hate him, people from his past who we only meet during the game. He's got clear opinions on Rossartrism and Globalism and he was forced to watch his home-state get enveloped by the UNRC. He's got no super powers, he's got no special attributes, he doesn't have a special bloodline or a special destiny. The only thing at all that makes him different is that he's able to have empathy and love for T-Dolls in a world where most people can't and won't.
He was never going to save the world, at best he'd only be able to save those he cares about. And at the end of GFL1 he didn't even manage that. And, the trauma from his failures, his compromises, and the literal torture he went through to get through GFL1 are explicitly relevant in the second game, as he starts to face his past again and finds himself crushed by the emotions he'd left bottled up and unaddressed for so long.
In short: He's a real and proper character, not a blank self-insert.
