BastienSoul Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Two previews for Three Houses released today reveal that there are going to be same-sex options for Byleth. This one released by GaymingMag states that there are several same-sex options for each gender, specifically implying that Claude might be one (please). An Italian preview by "Nintendoomed" is more specific, claiming that there are 3 male options and 5 female options. While I would prefer for there to be an equal amount of male and female options, I'm glad that there are more than Fates and that they seem to be more positive characters. Thanibomb Spoilers: Spoiler With both the GaymingMag article and the leak, I'm guessing the same-sex options will be Claude, Gilbert, Linhardt, Alois (he has conversations about having a wife, so he might not be an option), Edelgard, Dorothea, Mercedes, Rhea, and Sothis.

Cysx Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Well, that's going to make a lot of people happy from what I'm reading. This may have been the #1 subject discussed on the FE Reddit these past two months. Edit: The quality of the writing part, I meant. Quantity-wise these aren't massive numbers. (leak spoilers that don't really matter anymore but hey): Spoiler Better than just one for males though.

timon Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The italian guy says he's only played through the first hours of the game, there might be more options than what he's discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 That's a good amount more would be very unrealistic at least Claude is possibly one so at least. Spoiler 2 House Leaders are options RIP Dimitri fans who want him as a possible option. I mean I'm never gonna use it (MAYBE if I do a female run one day) but at least its something for Yaoi and Yuri fans and its not too bias for females as expected.

That's a fair point. I'm assuming that there aren't many others though. If we're lucky I could maybe see there being 1 or 2 more guys to make it more even.

They could've look at the support screen and see the letter ranks like Fates. Plus it's confirmed well know all characters from the beginning.

I'm not talking about same-sex, he literally says that there is no S between other characters (and that some stop at B). So it could be that other options are locked until timeskip (unless they completely removed romance except for the avatar, which would be odd).

Maybe there truly going Persona route where its Protagonist only but we'll see. Edited July 12, 2019 by Dorothea Joestar Arnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Interesting part about the guys. Spoiler Linhard might be bi but not Casper. I've seen people having a desire to ship them. As it stands now they might be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 If there must be avatar shipping then I'm glad to see them becoming more inclusive. Kind of disappointing if there's no paired endings for other characters, or maybe A+ is the equivalent for non-Byleth units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of disappointing if there's no paired endings for other characters, or maybe A+ is the equivalent for non-Byleth units? If there is, he didn't see it. That's the quote from him (with translation from me). Quote Infine, ritorna l’opzione di un sostegno S, che nei precedenti titoli che lo hanno presentato equivaleva solitamente al matrimonio, o quanto meno all’instaurazione di una relazione romantica di qualche tipo. Al momento non ho ancora potuto provarne uno, ma dall’elenco dei sostegni raggiungibile dal menu principale ho potuto vedere che… sembrerebbero essere un’esclusiva dell’Avatar. Gli altri personaggi, infatti, tra loro possono raggiungere al massimo il livello A. Non è detto naturalmente che ciò non possa cambiare andando avanti, ma è importante tenerne conto. S support, which represents romance in previous titles, comes back. At the moment I have yet to see one, but from the list of supports in the menu I see that they seem to be Avatar's exclusive. Other characters, in fact, can only reach A level at most with each other. This might change with progression in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, saying this is just for yaoi and yuri fans is kinda gross. There are plenty of queer fans who will be happy for the representation.

With the Japanese fans and anime fans obviously always in mind this is mostly intended for that crowd first before anyone else which is second.

PurpleHairedMage Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Regardless, you are being very dismissive of queer representation. You need to choose your words better if you don't want to come off as borderline homophobic.

EricaofRenais Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I am glad to see more options this time, Fates was a start but it was not very good in terms of choices. I personally won't use it, but as someone who supports the LGBT+ community I am happy to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously that's interesting if they really do this it makes sense how Byleth is structured around but interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ107 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I'm fine with the distribution of 3 vs 5, it's a decent step up from Fates and not too skewed. Hopefully they'll expand on this and give even more same-sex options in future games. I'm really curious about who the remaining two bi males are. Hopefully at least one of them will appeal to me. I know people are speculating that it's Claude and/or Alois, but I there's not sufficient evidence of that for me yet.

The first article from Gaymingmag(just picked up on the name... that explains the subject matter(^_^')) is almost entirely about Claude. It doesn't factually confirm it, but there seems to be a pretty strong chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra two options for F!Byleth don’t really bother me since there are still multiple options for M!Byleth, which is an improvement. Also, quality matters more to me than quantity - if we do indeed get Claude, F!Byleth could have the entire rest of the school and I wouldn’t really care.

SockPuppet Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I don’t think that... Spoiler Alois is gay? He has conversations about his wife and kid. Well... not that that means he CAN’T be gay (lol), but you catch my drift! I hope it’s another student. Preferably from blue lions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already seen that no guys in blue lions are romanceable by M!Byleth, unless there's an unknown reason why they would be missing S rank while the girls have it Edit: Also where have you seen Alois talk about that?
