andylt 05/03/23 12:19:31 PM #4:	Huh, interesting. Assuming it is because of gay content, I wonder if it's a random NPC who mentions their same-sex spouse or an actual major character (or multiple!). Hoping for the latter. IDK if XIV has any gay characters, but if not I guess this would be a first for the series (to be so direct about a character's sexuality that the game would be banned, that is)? --- Very very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. <cite>andylt posted [p:973238660] in Final Fant...
