Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

I hope the mods use this thread to just outright ban a lot of the homophobic posters in here. I really do hope.

Lets be honest, nobody cares.
If you think the game does not represent you well enough then move along, stop trying to cater things to your own fantasies.

It was a trash can from the beginning, but some people are willing to die on a hill a titanmen alt set and others necro'd.

Miss him everyday tbh, also I don't doubt you on that lol. I'm too lazy to read the entire thread, but I'll say today's discussion in this thread has been a little lit

I'm just gonna leave this.

You may be familiar with the [Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade] where we had a Final Fantasy XIV float participate. After that event, players in the Korean regions were very uncomfortable with it and people made complaints about now wanting to see that. “This is disgusting!” Things like that. It’s been very tough.

Change is happening. People are becoming more aware and understanding. Values do shift, but I think the pace...is very different depending on individuals. It’s a difficult and delicate situation. It requires us to understand and know how things are around the world.

I could go on a tangent about the lack of African American options in the game but I wont. While I'd love to see more and have more NPC's be like me, I've long realized that being like me doesn't have an effect on a good story. And having to change the story from region to region would do more harm than good to the global fanbase. For example JP Haurchefant vs EN Haurchefant.

Never said anything like that whole last paragraph. I agree. They aren’t ready. I just think they also aren’t ready for politics or religion. All of that requires an adult mind to comprehend.

Teaching them that sometimes two men or two women get married and that is just fine isn’t overtly sexual at all. No child would take it that way and it is your own perversions and fantasies that make it overtly sexual.

I don't quite understand getting bent out of shape by saying sexual preference, pretty sure everyone knows that it's innate and not a choice, and not something you can change. Also I'm bisexual but I don't see it as part of my identity it's literally just something that determines who I'm attracted to, so I dunno maybe work on having a hobby or something. Also generally I don't think anyone would be opposed to having blurbs in side content, or what have you, but we already do have these, so like.. just wait? We had Sadu flirting with women in MSQ, like chill.. you'll get what you want.

You say this but the instant a game or other media comes out without a straight white guy as the protagonist everyone is up in arms about it being woke or pushing an agenda or some BS. Let's not sit here and pretend that media that does present a diverse cast or in some cases even a cast of mostly PoC doesn't instantly get all kinds of vitriol.

The fact that conversion camps still exist would suggest that no, people don't know this and will use extreme measures to make sure people choose the right "preference".
