Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet allows the player to play as a premade character or create their own avatar (who can be male or female). This character can wear masculine or feminine hairstyles, regardless of gender.

If you choose to play as your own avatar, you can flirt with 6 female characters and 1 male character. There are scenes called 'bed scenes' which can be unlocked with all of them, regardless of gender (it is possible to romance all of them in one playthrough, allowing for polyamory). If you choose to play as the premade character, Kirito, another 5 female options and 1 male options are available to you. Though the game includes the option to play as a woman, and to romance other women, it is coded in a way that expects the player to be a heterosexual male, and the game is extremely heteronormative.

If you choose to play as the premade character, Kirito, the male 'love interest' will react to you as if you are friends and are proposing friendship, not a romantic date. He does not have an animated 'bed scene'.
