Sexualization and sexuality aren’t the same thing; there’s nothing inherently sexual about two characters of the same gender expressing romantic interest in each other.

Non-sexual attraction already exists in this game too; as just a few narrative examples with non-player characters, there’s chemistry between Curious Gorge and Dorongo in some Warrior quests, confirmed romantic interests from Runar toward Y’sthola, Zhai'a Nelhah toward Lalai in some Black Mage quests, and arguably from G’raha Tia toward the player regardless of their gender; none of those attractions are shown to be sexual, regardless of whether that may also exist behind the scenes.
