* Square-Enix has certainly upped their Les Yay levels in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XIII]]''. Vanille and Fang care very deeply for other and they also probably have the biggest amount of lovey-dovey physical contact in the entire game. Not only does Fang like petting Vanille's head a lot more than Lulu liked petting Yuna's head, they're also the characters that hug more and more passionately through the game. Every time they talk about each other, the nature of their relationship seems pretty obvious as well. And don't get me started on the ending, where {{spoiler|they "die" holding hands while romantic music plays in the background}}!

*** During the very early stages of development, Fang was originally intended to be a male character. Some who acknowledge the [[Les Yay]] still [[Unfortunate Implications|say it doesn't count as a "real" lesbian relationship]] because of this, as though the script were already written, the game already programmed and all they did was switch out the character model.

* ''[[Vagrant Story]]'' (which takes place in the ''FFXII''/''FFT'' {{[[[Ivalice Alliance]] universe}}) might as well have been called "[[Ho Yay]]: The Game". For starters, the main character spends 40 hours walking around in assless chaps.

* ''[[Final Fantasy XI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XI]]'' has a quest where a trio of Hume npcs are accidentally splashed with a love potion. Ho Yay ensues. The potion's effects wear off just as they are about to confess their feelings, leading to a Mithran onlooker to remark with the following:

** Although to be fair, it's almost exclusively from Seifer's end, as Squall denies ''any'' sort of human relationship for most of the game, and only stops being a [[Chaste Hero|Chaste]]/[[Celibate Hero]] after {{spoiler|his [[Love Epiphany]] in Disc 3}}. Seifer, on the other hand, at one point in the games, imprisons Squall, puts him in a kinky position as he tortures him, all the while talking about his "romantic dream". Yeeeeeah....

* The DS remake of ''[[Final Fantasy III (Video Game)|Final Fantasy III]]'' has some of this when it comes to Arc and Prince Alus. Arc, being as effeminate as he is, forms an immediate bond with Prince Alus, and the two end up spending quite a bit of time together. They even wind up ''sleeping together'' at one point (although in seperate beds, and under the pretense of "the prince's safety"). The way they talk to each other seems to suggest that they might be more than "just good friends."

* [[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Sabin]]'s a bodybuilder, and he is the only character whose sequence during the breakup has no female characters. In addition, his "fight" with Gau has animation quite unlike any other fight in the game but looking like [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|something else]]. (Though since [[Memetic Mutation|there are no sparkles]], it can't be sex.) Apparently all the heterosexuality genes went to [[Chivalrous Pervert]] Edgar.
