Ff16 gay

I was so excited reading the script to portray this aspect of Dion and to treat it with the respect and truth I wanted to bring to the rest of the role. His final quest puts a nail in the coffin of this theory, but the way in which it is written is undoubtedly trans-coded, and it seems like a missed opportunity to not tie this reclamation of identity into Final Fantasy 16’s wider themes that see multiple characters defy fate and take back control of their lives.

A soldier tells his lover that he’s afraid of the coming war, and won’t be able to join his partner later that night due to a lack of coin. They were able to capture so much of our facial work in that scene which was very gratifying as there was a lot of unspoken subtext!

It doesn’t factor massively into Clive Rosfield’s own adventure as he acts as little more than a curious eavesdropper. But with Dion’s existence, Bahamut is now, in my mind, the official queer icon of the franchise.

Dion has a loyal companion named Sir Terence, and their relationship goes beyond mere friendship—they're actually in love.

Dion and Terence treat each other with genuine care and respect. How did this aspect of his character impact your approach to him?

A: Dion’s relationship with his father is so tragic. The second time we see them is also the last, with Dion relieving Terence of his duty shortly before their final battle as he’s asked to protect a young girl who recently brought Dion back to health in the ruins of Crystalline Dominion.

Terence is Dion's right-hand man and most prominent ally, although he has no official army or nobility rank. It was so satisfying to see him eventually ally himself with Clive, despite everything, as the pair really do share so much in terms of their desire to do right by other people. He’s also the Desert Hare, an infamous informant who previously worked with Cid decades earlier.

It also gave us Dion.

Dion Lesage is quite important to the overall narrative of Final Fantasy 16. always considering Shiva to be the unofficial queer icon. They even kiss!

Two men kissing in a Final Fantasy game blew my mind in the best way possible. There’s also the trans allegory I mentioned earlier, which is coded so deliberately that I couldn’t read it as anything else.

L’ubor is Forgemaster of the Briar’s Kiss in the desert town of Dalimil.

I’ve been a huge Final Fantasy fan since I was a teen, and other than Black Mage, there is arguably no more iconic Job in the franchise! Here's what we know.

Which characters are gay in Final Fantasy XVI?

While it's certain that the main character in FF16 is not queer, we can confirm that Dion and Terence are gay characters in Final Fantasy 16.

His demeanour and manner of speech is drenched in a historical awareness of everyone and everything around him, and amidst a chaotic world he decided to embrace his true identity as time passed. Here’s looking at Square Enix, ha!

Q: Any fun behind-the-scenes stories you'd like to share?

A: I could never pronounce Greagor EVERY single time it came up in the script, and Dion says it so much!

He was ready to die there in the Dominion, collapsed amongst the wreckage of a broken Kingdom.
