In regards to G'raha Tia in Dawntrail and going forward *MSQ SPOILERS*

Why is it, in this day and age, that 2 characters having a heart to heart conversation automatically means there is a love/romance connection?

Due to the circumstances (gondola, wedding ring, heart to heart, graha being your biggest fanboy and that is an understatement), it frankly feels like this scene was aimed at and chiseled for G'raha shippers.

I don't think it was an "CCA Amuro and Char play-fighting on the grass" tension either, but it was clearly up in there, imo.

I think any other character in that position would've garnered the same feeling from me, and quite frankly, I felt it was getting a bit uncomfortable at times. The conversation was interesting, though.

While I did interpret it as a lil' fanservice, I though the actual conversation was neutral enough.

To be honest: from what Raha actually said, people that interpret ROMANCE into this are overreaching.
That's like saying Aymeric inviting us to dinner or Haurchefant inviting us to his fireplace = romantic interest.

The moments in which NPCs see us as more than just a tool are so rare in this game, I treasure them.
