Uh... This entire conversation was originally about fans' interpretation of the interactions/relationships between the MC and the cast, not what "Word of God" would be. This is why I mentioned the GE3's page at TVTropes. Yes, we get it, this ship will not sail but that's not the point.

I was going to respond to the OP after the 4 comment but after 2 hours of writing my response, there was an error which basically fucked my response up and I gave up.

My point was that ever since GE2 became a thing, people could easily interprete the interactions between the MC and NPC as homoerotic, regadless if they are female or male (again, go to the GE2RB game' page at TVTropes and you will see the "Ho Yay!" trope is basically this). It doesn't matter what the Canon MC will be because even with him, it happens too (I have seen art where Hiro is being shipped with Julius).

If you think that this isn't correct, go to TVTropes and explain to the people there why this isn't true. And no, I can assure that I wasn't the one who added the trope.

The reason why we don't see this in the first game is that we don't see the MC interact with others that often, which is why it's my least favourite games of the franchise. 1st Unit never seem to be very close to one another to me. This isn't to say that they aren't close per se but we see that in GE2RB which way too late to showcase IMO. Mind you, they didn't need to use homoerotic subtexts in GE2RB to showcase how close their are to one another. Instead, they used a mission for that (when you go to hunt the Kyuubi aragami with Lindow, Soma and Alisa).

Edit: PS: Also I don't care ehat gender do you want the MC to be, nor who do you ship them with. But ffs, don't be a hypocrite! Don't go saying "your ship will never be canon" and then say that MC x Luli be canon. Lulu, the one who has the least interesting interactions with the MC? Really?!
