Now that FF16 will feature LGBT+ characters, can we get some rep in FF14 too?

[Hurlstone]

I mean yeah, Alisae suddenly saying that out of nowhere would, indeed, be in your face.

But as random examples?(Not saying I want this to happen)

-Estinien turns down Zero. Mentions he's not interested in relationships. That could be a gentle way to show he's ace
-Alphinaud blushes like Zero did when seeing a shirtless dude.
-G'raha admits to having a crush on the WoL, which would make him bi depending on the player char
-Alisae already seem to mega crush on the WoL
-Uriage(I can't spell his name i'm sorry) just suddenly starts being refereed to by they/them, because off screen he asked the other scions to, and at one point when you say 'he' he's like "Ah, wilst though say 'they', for it is a better fit". Unless a single line is forced too?
-As a non-scion example, we just meet someone with a seemingly male body who is refereed to as she. Though from my experience that makes a lot of gamers really mad(Baulder's gate 2 expansion drama, had a character who 4-5 text choices down the line would say they used to be a boy. Made gamers extremely mad to the point they mad mods to murder the character.)

Not saying it should happen, but it happening when(afaik) none of them have canon sexualities could work, and would be realistic. Though no matter how it's done people would see it as forced because they have their own headcanon.

Well said on thos remarks. Characters like Estinien, G'raha, Alisae have not really even show any interest in the opposit sex/romance anyway, so I really do not think them turning out to be LGBTQ+ would be some magical switch. Like you said, there are a lot of imaganitive ways writers can show thses things without it being forced. Mistakes of other studios handling does not mean these should be considered 'taboo' topics to explore.

I'm new and wasn't aware of this, but the topic itself seemed like a fine request

Welcome to the forum! Yeah I used to think the same, but the OP is simply a troll who starts these threads to try and ignite fights between people. Now usually I am fine with winding anti-LGBTQ folk up, but these threads have a habit of getting ugly and hateful thanks to this forums lack of actual moderation.
