Will Dawntrail Surprise Us With A Major LGBTQ+ Character In The MSQ

Aren't all the scions canonically bisexual anyway?

From what I remember, not long after the games release Yoshi-P or one of the lore devs actually answered a question about this (not about the scions themselves directly though).

He basically explained that ‘sexuality’ as we understand it (i.e gay/straight/bi) doesn’t really exist as a concept in Eorzea. People just like what they like and don’t seem to categorise it as being one way or another. I think that’s probably why when we do get references to same-sex relationships (I.e Rising Vendor and her wife), it’s not treated any differently than any other relationship would be. Which, makes sense in a fantasy world where people can literally change their gender by drinking a potion lol.

For the Scions themselves, I’d imagine from a writing standpoint they’ll forever remain ‘vaguely asexual’. That is to say, the Scions wont ever have direct relationships with others; instead, they’ll leave it up to the players imaginations, so I wouldn’t imagine they’d want to categorise any of them as specifically liking one thing or the other.

Would make sense, wouldn't it? It's all the more baffling they decided to carry Y'shtola's promise to Runar over into Endwalker then...
