Do you enjoy the main character changing often? Options

It's been a while since the original overall-clad protagonist made an appearance (well, Magical Melody), so I do find myself missing the original design every then and again.

But other than that I like the idea of an ever-changing main character. Sure a few of them have made more than one appearance (RF, IoH), but it certainly helps set each game apart from eachother. More often than not, a game is most known by it's main character. While Harvest Moon protagonists lack a real personality (because you control everything they do), the changing appearance is definitely a step in the right direction, I'd think.

What about you all?

I like playing as different main characters in different towns and games. Gives more variety and doesn't make me feel like I'm cheating on my previous spouse if I choose someone else to marry this time around. If every game featured the exact same protagonists it'd feel like they're some sort of weird reincarnation, alternate-dimensional self, ultra-pimp, or doomed to forever be a widower, widow, or undergo consecutive divorces. Not to mention all those abandoned children. @_@

I'd love for there to be more variety with the protagonists' looks, though. So far most of them are all white-skinned and brown-haired. There's only two blonde girls, and only one blond guy! And there's only been one true red-head (although at first I thought Chelsea and Hikari had red hair, too...). I doubt we'll get a black protagonist any time soon, though...Maybe one with a nice tan. :D
