Boob grab = lesbians.
Yeah, the moment Vanille grabbed Fang's tit when they Chapter 9where reunited on the Palamecia I was like, "Oh, I see how it is. Sorry Hope, you're :bou::bou::bou::bou: out of luck.".Quote:

I'm not far enough to have seen supposed boob grab, BUT I totally got the lezzy vibe after Fang joins the party and there is the flashback to the Euride Plant.
Yeah I was kina thinking this too. Seems to be pretty cool. Would be a first for FF.

Pah, if that's a sign a girl is a lesbian, pretty much every girl I've met is one.
Definitely big sis/little sis vibe.
Every girl you've ever met grabs other woman's tits? Where did you live?Quote:

Alright, hands up all the girls here who have felt up another girl's boobs at any point.
I agree. Outside of the boob-grab, I haven't seen anything to suggest anything other than a close familial relationship.Quote:

It's the female equivalent of taking your best friend out drinking when they're feeling down.
Okay now I owe you a cookie.Quote:

Looks like Fang is looking at Vanille's hand rather confusedly. If they're lesbians its news to her. :p
It's only natural to grab someone's breast if you haven't seen them in hundreds of years. Hugging just doesn't cut it.
Hmm, I could see it but at the same time I totally get the big sis-little sis vibe. I wonder why both of them were picked though, why not just choose one of them or more?
Also, Hope is totally gay. Did you see that scarf he was wearing? Also the way he Chapter 11teased Vanilla in one of those mini-scenes on Gran Pulse. He's totally gonna grow up and be gay.
Snow and Sahz are totally the only heteros in this game.
What about Lightening? I'm inclined to say she's asexual, I don't see her as a lesbian, at least not with any of the other characters so far.Quote:

LightningxFrocobo?
I sincerely hope that SE doesn't ruin this by handing down an officially verdict. Though I personally couldn't care less it is nice to see a game that has something controversial that could be debated for years.
(I mean if they are lesbians is controversial, not that they could be)
i mean, fang does say they're partners...i mean this could mean several things, but i was under the impression that they're intimate. together. in bed. big sis/lil sis is definitely a possibility, but they just act more like lovers. they way they speak about each other, how sazh is asking Vanille if she has some one special and she says "no....(but i was lying...)" i mean i got close friends, but i don't refer to them as my special somebody.
yes....its all very clear. but the frocobo likes the nautilus sheep.Quote:

How can you not like Kiros and Ward!? Especially Ward. He's awesome.
How different is what they say in the Japanese version? And if they are lovers, why would Square hide it so well? Because really all they do is hug. People made a massive deal out of one touching of boob in a dramatic reunion and the rest? Eh, nothing much. Partners can mean anything, so I'd again be interested in what they said in the Japenese version. But yeah, back to it: If Japs aren't afriad to "go there", why do they not kiss or mentoin the word 'love' amongst each other or, you know, say anything that lovers would say to each other? If you look at all the relationships that have existed in FF games, they've always been incredibly obvious. I have no idea why, if Japanese are so unafraid to "go there", they would make it so incredibly unobvious that they are lovers.
I agree with WK that people are just having wishful thinking. If not wishful, they're certainly looking at a couple of tidbits of interaction.
I'm yet to see the evidence that points towards them being lovers rather than family or even just "like family".
EDIT: Further spoilers for those who haven't reached Oerba.
(SPOILER)It should also be noted that they lived in a completely different culture to those who lived in Cocoon. I would compare Cocoon to the larger cities of Japan, Europe and America. Oerba seems like a much smaller locale, and they mention that they live differently - everyone is part of one big family who don't have dedicated housing etc. With this in mind, I think it would be a little more similar to religious communities, partially developed African towns (and I'm not talking the starving types in Ethiopia... probably closer to Kenyan, although that's a guess based on my limited African information). I think these communities can be incredibly tight-knit. They may have grown up together and even if not sisters would be very, very close to each other - without the need to be lovers in order to demand that kind of closeness.
Not only that - they are the only people out of their community/family left alive. Now, I don't know about you, but if there was a large group I'd lived with all my life and then suddenly you find yourselves the only ones left alive... I'd hold onto them as close as I could. For Vanille and Fang, fellow l'Cie excepted, they are all each other have left in the world.
Actually, before the whole VanillexFang reunion and Fang and Lightening met each other I was totes like "omgz lessers?"Quote:

Same series, Tomoyo is totally lesbo for Sakura, but she never comes right out and says it, let alone "I love you." Same thing goes for Sailor Moon's resident lesbians: Michiru and Haruka. Oh, you can tell that they are into each other but they never say "I love you".
Gay characters outside the yuri and yaoi genre are rare finds and often are implicit not explicit. :/
So to say that in a Japanese game they would come right out and say it is not true. They would never say it outright. They would come close to it but never be explicit. :/
Yeah, I was confused why everyone is all "omgz the Japanese put the gays in everything."
Do Michiru and Haruka ever even kiss? I don't think so.
I've just finished reading the translation of the short story surrounding Vanille & Fang. It's pretty neat, actually, I suggest you guys check it out. There are others for Sazh/Dajh and Lightning/Snow there, too.
I was swayed slightly towards the idea that they might be lovers when I read this bit from chapter three in the short storyQuote:
They had promised so long ago. They would be alright as long as they were together. They would never be parted. It was a promise she never wished to break.
But then I read this and felt myself pushed further away from the idea. short story chapter fiveQuote:
Just like when they were children, together against a world of enemies. So long as they were together, they could stay alive. So long as the were together, it didn’t matter where they ran...
So in the end I'm sticking with the "been friends since they were little kids and are effectively (if not actually) family, and have a closer bond than most."
I seriously suggest reading those short stories if you've finished the game. The Vanille/Fang one shows you just how different the cultures are in the two worlds, far more than I thought. I'll probably read the other two tomorrow or something.
I get the "partners for survival" vibe from them, as BoB suggests from the story quotes.
Yeah the big/little sis thing is what I got.
Although if you've watched enough anime that can just as well mean lesbian love.

You're all idiots. They're like sisters. They've been frozen in crystal for hundreds of years so they have to stay close and look out for each other.
Oh, I have no problem with it, afterall, I am gay too. :pQuote:

That was the vibe I got through most of the game as well, although later on it seems to suggest (like, one of them actually says) that they're family. I know all of Oerba considers each other 'family' so probably not literally, but I think it'd be kind of weird after one of them has actually called the other that.
Difficult call really. Fairly bold move if they were, just not quite made obvious enough either way.
ive switched to big sis/lil sis. after the scene where (SPOILER)you fight vanille's eidolon and fang play punches (....) her in the head, im fairly convinced of the very close friends that were sent out on a focus and frozen in crystal for hundreds of years together. you'd prolly be pretty close w anyone after that. i still like to think of em as lovers for funsies every now and then tho :D
"I'd tear the sky down to find her" sounds pretty lover-like to me, though.
Would you do that for your family? Reckon a lot of family-types would say that about each other in such circumstances, especially if they're anything like Fang. :p
I always thought it was quite obvious Fang and Vanille were related. I always thought they were cousins or sisters, or something. Is that just me being excruciatingly naiive?
I figured they were family at first, but later I made the assumption that they were most likely BFFs.
Got the same vibe from Yuna and Rikku in X, though(SPOILER)they're actually related.
So I guess it's similar to Yuna and Lulu/Wakka, or Laguna and Ellone. Not family but close enough to pass as family.
(SPOILER)That didn't stop Brother in X-2 :DQuote:

According to the final fantasy wiki they were raised in the same orphanage, that's where they met. So they're kind of sworn sisters.
Thought I was in an FFVIII thread for a moment there. Anyway, that makes sense.Quote:

Damn right it is. Except for my brother, I have the worst possible relationship with my family. I'd much rather save a significant other (which I maintain Fang and Vanille are to each other) than a family member.Quote:
