You really believe that the majority of female gamers want a baby-faced boy that looks somewhat feminine?

The words of the lead character designer:

Akihiko Yoshida
In the early stages of development the hero character was more rugged -- big and tough. As we started shaping up the scenario and taking into consideration the target demographic, the character became what you see today.

So apparently, a majority in the target audience wanted an effeminate male character. I think its pretty safe to assume that that majority was a mostly female one...
