@GiveMeCuteness Good post! You're right, VA is expensive and Lorenz, Ignatz and Bernadetta, refer to Byleth's gender in both Japanese and English. On a side note, based on what I've listened to, it seems that the English localization is a pretty direct translation of the Japanese for the most part. (It seems well done!) Wonder about all the other localizations and languages as well and whether they preserved the largely gender neutral speech of the Japanese and the English dialogue. And there's a lot on the production side I'm ignorant of. Thanks for the lists and thoughts on possibly feasible same-sex additions!

Since Female and male Byleth are included in certain confession CG artwork, it would require new artwork if their S-supports were opened up to both genders for those characters. Here's a list of characters whose CG artwork doesn't show Byleth's gender in it. Many of these characters' supports are gender neutral as well. It seems that these S-support options above could be opened up to both genders in a future patch with relatively little production cost for Intelligent Systems. (Copy the S-support to the other gender, change cutscene models, change color of hand/glove in the CG, etc).

How do the A+ supports work; are there any conversations?
