Final Fantasy and homosexuality...

[Silver Rocket]

​I wasn't aware that playing an awesome game determined one's sexuality.

Anyways, as I said, I would LOVE to see a legitimately LGBT character in a JRPG, even if their character was absolutely crap. Just introducing such a character into a JRPG would be a huge step forward, and if one developer does it, others will follow, and it'll be a refreshing change. That, plus...well, whilst homophobia and the rest is still a huge issue in society, I think we're past the point now (or at least, those of us who aren't complete fucking retards are) of bashing these people solely on the basis that their sexuality is different. I don't see why we can't start having LGBT characters in games outside of fan-based theories that have absolutely no basis whatsoever in the game's canon. We get enough paedophilia (implied or otherwise) in JRPGs, and that is hardly acceptable in society

As for being "gay" for liking anything, well...

it really isn't that big of a step forward in character development. this isn't just something about square enix, but all of japanese marketing. for now i think square enix is just doing what would be internationally safe.

though i guess it would be more of a brave thing to do for SE.
it would be nice to see an official homosexual couple. However, i doubt it will be the biggest thing that has happened. more like "huh, so its going that direction".

lol at this actually being a thread outside of the spam section. They're obviously trolls. And even if they weren't, who gives a shit? Do what you want and enjoy what you enjoy. Fuck tha police

I dunno if there is a similar thread to this but I was wondering... have you guys seen what some people think about Final Fantasy characters? They are probably trolls trying too hard to anger the fans but it feels as if "you play final fantasy - you are gay" can someone be gay for just playing a game? they say that some characters look likes girls and to be honest when I was younger back in the day playing FF on nintendo and psx I never thought of that, to me they looked like ordinary young people with cool style and all that...

I started this thread because I watched these dissidia videos made by machinima on youtube and I have to admit they are kinda funny but the comments below are not pleasant and it's getting worse...

what do you think of all this? is final fantasy going to end up having this kind of reputation and how will this affect us? and this question is especialy for guys because if you call a girl homo she might just say "eh, so what?" , is it going to be embarasing to admit that you like final fantasy?

What kind of reputation? You speak as if being gay was a bad thing, like the "trolls" do.

I dont know in Us but here in Brasil its kind i different.
Who play final fantasy is more like a nerd .
Because you need some time playing.

So this thing of gay, at least here, dont make sense.
