Discourse: Playersexual romance options vs set sexuality
This discourse was going around twitter today apparently and im curious takes from here.
Which is it for you?
For me i prefer playersexuality. I want to be able to romance any romance option regardless of my charachters gender. I dont want to be stuck with only Arcade Gannon if i want to do m/m
I agree that sexuality can be important to a charachter. But if you wanna do that, seems like the charachter can just not be a romance option.
That said. In RPGs devs can do what they want. You want a charachter to be monosexual and a romance option, have at it. (Unless theyre all straight, then fuck you).
I do kinda hate what The Sims did by adding monosexuality. Felt like such a virtue signal that made the game less fun. All Sims being pansexual was always more fun for me. Especially since i usually play that game as a pansexual slut. Unless i decide my player Sim is mono, but thats on the player's end.
Monosexual townies in the Sims should at least be optional (is it? Idk havent played Sims 4 since this update).
I think we should lock up Fire Emblem avatars and throw away the key. If they're not practicing eugenics, they're marrying children or their subordinates. Sometimes all three at once. It's time we bring back the glory days of ace Ike.
When i played Awakening I didnt care about minmaxing I just set my avatar up with best girl Tiki and then played matchmaker with the other pairings, explored the supports as far as I could with everyone and decided which were cutest from that. The matchmaker stuff was legit fun for me. Cared more about that then my avatar lol.
Though who to marry Nowi off to was a bit troubling...
