Like that its an official same sex pairing and not having to keep it "implied" like past games. Just officially out in the open. Just wish that it had more candidates so that its not "pick Conquest for gay men", "pick Birthright for lesbian" with only just 1 each. But like others said, baby steps that are very much needed that hopefully Nintendo will build up for future games.

I know its very late to be posting in this thread. But reportedly I've read the game contains some horrible alludes to conversion therapy with the character of Soleil.

spoiler[She is lesbian, but you can only romance her as a male. The male player character drugs her to make her think men are women, which makes her have feelings for the player character. Despite her being lesbian, you cannot romance her as a female.]

Good to see that bullshit rumour started by 1 single tumblr user is still going around.

Incorrect.

Second link
Said links contains spoilers (obviously.)

People made a big deal out of a badly written support and inconsistent character when it shouldn't have been a big deal.

Hell, we had Tharja in Awakening who was pretty blatantly bi too but ended up in a situation like Soleil.
