Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.Fails the test

The game's narrative primarily focuses on male characters (X, Zero, Sigma, Mavericks). While female characters like Alia exist, significant dialogue between two named female characters about something other than a male character is unlikely to occur.
