Hello! Eurogamer's week of features celebrating the intersection of LGBTQ+ culture and gaming continues today as life-long Final Fantasy fan Ed Nightingale finds joy in finally feeling seen by his favourite franchise... and it all starts with a kiss
Hello! Eurogamer is once again marking Pride with another week of features celebrating the intersection of queer culture and gaming. Today, life-long Final Fantasy fan Ed Nightingale finds joy in finally feeling seen by his favourite franchise... and it all starts with a kiss.I drop the controller, lift my arms into the air and let out a whoop. A gay kiss! In Final Fantasy!
It's all too rare to see LGBTQ+ representation in high profile AAA games. But to see it here, in a Final Fantasy game too, was such a moment of joy for me. It's why representation is so important: I feel seen and a part of this series I've loved for so long. And then they move on. It's authentic, normalised. It's not sexual, but simply two characters sharing intimacy. Dion's sexuality is only referenced once more later on in a deeply affecting, tragic moment with little dialogue that's testament to the game's visuals and acting.For the most part, Dion's sexuality is simply a part of his character that defies explanation. He simply is gay. It has no bearing on the plot, yet has huge ramifications for LGBTQ+ players.
