It's 2017, when can we get a prominent LGBT character in the storyline?

[SagaSoluna]

Only if it has blue hair, preferabily in some variety of mohawk or emo hairstyle, and constantly berates Gosetsu on the fact that female Samurai make on average 77 Tsujikazes per 100 male Hanakaze rotations.

In all seriousness though, i do not see how the orientation of most npcs even matters to begin with.
I will not cry if they add a LGBT character but i do not see how it is a NEED either.

Why do you people insist on feeding Skyrior? Seriously, why?

This thread was made with the sole intention of stirring up a fight and getting attention, and has the awful side effect of reinforcing people's negative feelings towards LGBT representation. And yet everyone, knowing who the OP is and what he does on a daily basis, happily jumped into the pit to argue with eachother and spout their awful opinions.

This isn't some dumb troll thread about some dumb troll issue, this is a thread that has a real consequence in inciting ill feelings towards a community that already has enough issues with that without god awful people like Skyrior contributing to it.

This is a 100% free ban for everyone topic. No matter what you're going to reply, it will always offend someone and that will lead in being reported. Can't win at all with that one lol.

Actually we is because of the "living" tendrils attached to her. Its easier to see in Dissidia, but the devs confirmed it. But yes the Cloud of Darkness is genderless.

The Encyclopaedia Eorzea states that Cloud of Darkness is a SHE.

[Chevronone]

Hunny, like really? Have you not met Alphinaud? Do the devs need to make him carry a Pride flag...I thought it was obvious...?

[MisterLucie]

The Encyclopaedia Eorzea states that Cloud of Darkness is a SHE.

CoD is referred to as genderless in every other iteration of the character. It may take on a female appearance but it's pretty much just an entity comprised entirely of... well, darkness. Darkness doesn't have a gender.

Just another troll thread by Skyrior

Because the majority of players are not disabled and hence caring about their backstory is irrelevant and useless 95% of the time.

Please, Yoshi P. Do the right thing. Add nipples to the game if you have a conscience

Chocobos are not only stupid but they're also dirty and smelly.

Just add him to your ignore list, and move on to have a much better time on the forums.

*notices OP* okay.

We had one if you played a male. He got killed.

*tears up*

I also went on a dinner date with Aymeric, you can't say he doesn't have a crush on the WoL. You don't have a dinner for two, break open your finest wine, and profusely compliment someone who's just your bro.

You must play Overwatch a lot, then. If you want to play as a LBGTQ, go play Overwatch. I certainly do not want that in this game.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the WoL is a clean slate in that aspect, so we technically already have a LGBT prominent character if the player chooses to be, not to mention the lore writers leave the extremely close interactions of Haurchefant and Aymeric up to the interpretation of players.

So far I've found every opposing post pretty reasonable, except for yours, "If you want to play as a LBGTQ, go play Overwatch. I certainly do not want that in this game." went far ahead what anyone else has said so far, crossing the line of bigotry.

Only if it has blue hair

Won't anyone PLEASE think of the GINGERS!?
