Having homosexual men appear is deliberately going beyond that acceptable norm. Which is great, especially for a Japanese game.

    Also a gay man here, but I appreciated the thought. I also appreciate that they didn't overstay their welcome as easily as they could have. It's cute, and it happened, and it's done.

    I was honestly happier to see that those two guys I have to watch "die" at the start of every WP run not only survived, but got so much growth and happiness out of it. I hate not being able to save everyone.
    Japanese culture is actually very accepting of male homosexuality. You'll find that it's lesbianism that is treated disdainfully over there. "You're a woman who likes other women? That's cute and all, but when are you going to get a husband?"
