The topic title say's it all. I was thinking recently about gay representation, and how video game creators seemingly used to be uneasy about having confirmed gay characters in their game. It's changed quite a bit, but it's still present, so I thought we could talk about characters, a large group of people believe are non-hetro, but it was never confirmed.
Ocelot's main motivation is his undying loyalty and admiration for Big Boss, in Metal Gear and in both Snake Eater and Phantom Pain, he displays immense attraction towards him. And while they never say he's gay, but his romantic attraction has been stated numerous times. Which kinda carry overs to his son.
Fang and Vanille from Final Fantasy 13 was a standout, and their relationship is defined by their loyalty and love for each other. I believe the director of the game stated one of them was originally going to be a man, which say's quite a bit about their relationship which is unchanged despite them both being girls. They have a ton of intimate moments.
I would argue Ignis (Iggy) from Final Fantasy 15 has wayyyyyy more chemistry with the main character then with Noct's actual lover interest Luna. And that his entire life is dedicated to his Prince's well being, to the point of admitting he would let the entire world burn if it meant keeping him safe. His devotion includes him being willing to sacrifice his life twice in order to protect him, and he became a master chief solely so he could make Noct happy. It's clear he loves him, and me (and alot of other people) think it's romantic.
