Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

I don't think anything sexual was shown at all. Why would it be? FFXIV is a pretty sexless game in the first place, but that's fine

There's a difference between romance and sexuality. You guys are the ones who keep bringing up sex and sexualization of teenagers, not me. I am strictly talking about romantic readings.

Yet the point still stands. Where's the romance there? And I mean actual romance not headcanon mess.

The same place you find the romantic reading of Y'shtola and Runar. In the interpretations and readings that players make.

This might seem like a new's flash to you, but people read into ( headcanon ) most things that they like. Graha stans will be convinced that of course he's flirting with the WoL and wants to marry him/her. Emet stans will headcanon that they dated way back then. LGBT people will make headcanons that they can relate to like Ryne/Gaia, and certain people will headcanon that hydaelyn is their mommy.

Personally I feel like there is however an unexplorer ship and that is Lahabrea and Gaius' romance that was merely swept under the rug. Gaius' character development is astonishing after he got dumped.

On a serious note, you can interpret anything however you want, disagreements will happen, I mean just look at the Hydaelyn situation. At the end of the day it really doesn't matter. Personally the whole Gaia thing kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth with the revelation of her identity and what we learn in EW. I'm sure you can do better representation than that.
