As a queer person and emotional RPG fan, I want to talk about the lack of gay characters and couples in Japanese RPGs and the narrative design issues associated with this.

Asymmetry of LGBTQ+ Visibility in WRPGs and JRPGs

As the title suggests, the games in this story are JRPGs, but this selection was not by random choice. It is worth explaining why this segment of the RPG genre deserves separate consideration from other titles. I previously discussed the differences between Western and Japanese RPGs, including narrative design aspects, but there is a specific reason to focus on JRPGs: there's a lack of LGBTQ+ voice and more complex issues still needing attention.

Let’s start with representation. In the late s, we saw sexual orientation as a more significant part of

Games With Inclusive LGBTQ+ Passion Options

Summary

  • RPGs like Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader provide diverse romance options, including LGBTQ+ relationships, catering to all players.
  • Up-to-date games like Monster Prom and Baldur's Gate 3 offer progressive and varied romance options for players disregarding gender norms.

Now, more than ever, are people looking to get into the world of gaming.

Everyone plays games, whether it&#;s your mum acing a level on Candy Crush or your nephew teaching you the intricacies of all things Minecraft &#; gaming is cute much everywhere.

For queer people looking to get into gaming however, there may be that all-too familiar longing to glimpse stories that give us the limelight in new and meaningful ways. With this in consciousness, we&#;ve curated a short, but essential list of games for those looking to start their gaming journey.
