I appreciate Square Enix supporting LGBT rights in FFXIV.

Tbh, i’m fine with people having their headcanon on certain story elements. Like if people want to headcanon that they’re a couple for whatever reason, that’s perfectly fine imo. The thing that gets to me is when people start saying it factually when there in all honesty is very little pointing in that direction. Like the crystal theme. Yes, a rainbow has lgbt inspiration, however they give a very real, 100% not shoe horned reason as to why it’s a rainbow in not only the eden questline, but also the msq in matoya’s dungeon. The lava in matoya’s dungeon is rainbow colored because of the aether and elements. This doesn’t mean Matoya is turning the frogs gay~ If these two were in a relationship i really don’t think they would beat around the bush. They’ve already come out with numerous examples of gay or bi couples and they just went out and said it. The couple in the wanderer’s palace questline comes to mind along with the girl at camp bronze lake. All in all i really don’t think from a canon perspective they’re together. I think if anything there’s more pointing to gaia’s underlying feelings for mitron shining through more than there is romantic feelings for ryne and even that’s pretty small. I understand people want representation but we have it in other ways and maybe in the future we’ll get more of it and i’m sure when that happens it will be explicitly stated. I’m just tired of this debate overall of these two poor girls lmao. They just wanna eat coffee biscuits in peace xD
