    an unsatisfying vague answer

    Well this would also cause drama, so I'm still ready

    But also I think 2020s Nintendo of America is a lot better than the old NoA. They released a very unsubtly queer Splatoon DLC a few months ago and the English version doesn't hide anything at all

    Like, if they're willing to do something like this, I have a lot more faith in them to get it right this time

    They're not ALL kids haha. These two are in their 20s... otherwise Marina would probably get to wear a shirt over her bra.

    Come to think of it, the protagonist is at least 19 now due to how time works. I think this is the first time you play as an adult! Not that the design aged any.

    they probably just didn't control their image quite as tightly back then

    It actually looks like they might be including it in the English version this time! The game is getting completely relocalized.

    This is the only dialog we have so far regarding it—It seems as if Beldam is refusing to recognize Vivian as her sister a la the Japanese script. Though, Goombella and the narrator are also bigoted in the original version, which I can't imagine they're keeping.

    I think I get what you mean, but I wouldn't even say it counts as "undertones". It feels more like it's just the point

    Marina's diaries where she keeps using heart emojis when talking about Pearl

    Marina's wallpaper being this picture of Pearl wearing both of their jewelery

    Marina seemingly getting jealous of Acht when she thinks they're hitting on Pearl (which is somehow queer no matter how you interpret it)

    This actual shoujo manga Marina made with a love letter to Pearl shown

    and there's still somehow way more than this in-game. Nintendo is barely holding back

    Yeah, they keep the veil of plausible deniability, but it could NOT be any thinner. Also:

    • I'm pretty sure you can be gay in Fire Emblem
    - This DLC has a they/them octopus in it

    • There is way more flirty dialog than just the one I posted
    - I mean look at these two
