I've noticed some interesting opinions lately when browsing the threads about shipping and official couples here on EoFF and I remembered Spoony once mentioned the same opinion in his FFX review. Apparently, a lot of people believe Balthier and Ashe were a romantic item.

I don't smurfing get it.

I really don't. I played the game two times. It is easily my favorite FF. And this is not a case of me trying to push my OTP. I mean, I literally cannot remember any hint of the two being lovers. I mean, yeah, there was this promotional image:

But the credits gave us this image:

Honestly, the only person I saw Ashe getting a deeper attatchment to was Basch, but hey, that's just my speculation and I don't really think their couple is canon.

So yeah, what's the deal? I remind you, this is not me hating on the shippers on the two. Ship whoever the hell you want, I don't care. I just don't understand why people think this couple is canon.
