I think people put too much focus on sexuality. but I also think that if a main character in a game just happened to mention that his husband or boyfriend or whatever did something, i think that would be a tasteful way of just being more inclusive. I think the risk is that characters with less common life experiences would be less relate-able.
I mean, in FFVII i can understand the nuanced complexities of the love triangle between cloud, tifa and aeris. But could i have gotten the nuanced complexities of a love triangle between cloud, barret and vincent?
I think the issue in these things isn't so much a factor of sex or sexuality, just of relate-able experience. But the bottom line is that something like 10% of people identify as homosexual or some variation there of, and i think its under-represented in the media regardless.
