Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Il Mheg, and the Pixies are great examples. The zone is filled with queer tropes. Pixies are shown to be non-binary. There are rainbows, pink hues, and tons of queer visuals.

But let's look at Urianger. His old robes are classic mage type robes and give away nothing about his sexuality,

he is shown as just a nerd, with a strong emotional attachment to Moenbryda, in Shadowbringer, he changes his look significantly, and to a very genderfluid and queer look. His robes no longer look like a mage's robes, but instead a fairly sexy black silk dress, decorated in a magical way.

I think you are doing some reaching with your examples. He's just wearing robes that have no sleeves. It's still a robe. That does not look gender fluid (whatever that would look like anyway) or queer at all.

great list, there's more, but I think the funniest bit is Alphinaud, there are several times NPCs refer to him as a girl, and there is a constant evolution of his masculinity. Almost as if he's a Trans man, and started his transition just prior to our officially meeting him. Also, they are referred to as identical twins at least once.

I'd like to point out that eorzea probably doesnt have a very good understanding on genetics, and likely refer to them as identical due to appearance. One egg can produce 2 children of different genders, and while not genetically identical because sex, the rest may be.

Also, Krile has known him for ages, and mentions teasing him a lot. I don't think she's ever mentioned him changing the way he dresses though.

This just seems like more reaching.
