Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[ToniRomo]

I just asked the NPC I vendored some stuff to if they are gay and they said yes.

TitanMen's wellspring of trolls ran dry it seems.
Your earlier ones were more funny, you've really lost your touch. :l

Idk.
This thread is pretty funny because apparently gay dudes are better actors than straight dudes.
Can't wait to see more scientific studies.

Am I the only one who caught all the sexual references and innuendos and personalities in this game? You can't be serious if you think NPC's or story characters are all straight. And what relevance does it have to the story and gameplay? None. It doesn't matter.

If it "doesn't matter" then there's no need to make a fuss or reject the idea of more inclusion and representation, right? It's not going to harm anyone.

Given the number of gender-less pixies, hermaphrodite dragons, inter-species and gay background relationships in this game I am not sure what more people want? Romantic relationships play little to no role in this story, and most major characters are WoL-sexual to accommodate the WoLs gender.

In my book they are doing a swell job and more representation just for representations sake would just come across as pandering. They should write how they want and what they know for the sake of preserved quality.

I wished more people realized this is an elaborate troll thread meant to get people riled up.

Congrats on being a troll and making gay people look crazy.

As a gay guy, representation is nice when done right but a lack of it doesn't make me lose sleep. To be honest, most of us just wanna be able to enjoy the game in peace.

Well I did call OP out on the third page...

Oh wow. This thread title is word for word the same as a Reddit title back in 2017 with some paragraphs literally taken from it.



Wow, even this was taken from that thread.

In agreement with Doozer as well.

Again, third page.

Yeah that post was just wild. All credibility on the subject just went right out the window.

I'm not honestly sure if I can recall any memorable partnerships in the storyline of FFXIV - regardless of the genders involved. Partnerships is portrayed as simply ancillary information mentioned in passing. There have been a few of the same gender but there are as unremarkable as the rest have been. I'm all for portraying any NPC partnership in a more involved way as long as it makes sense from the storyline and is not done simply for a means to an end.

However, FFXIV is not a dating app
