Here's the dataset and their website if you are interested, there's more games beyond Final Fantasy that they've looked at.

Main findings

35% of words were spoken by female characters.

29% of characters were female, which suggests the imbalance is driven by a lack of female characters.

94% of games had more male dialogue than female dialogue.
