hehe....funny....

Its really annoying when people start asking "OMG, is that ff character gay?!??!", especially when there's no evidence leading to the idea.

Sure he likes hotdogs...........big deal. I do too, and my girlfriend can confirm that I'm not gay. :rolleyes2 (no offence to the gay people reading this of course )

I'm actually in the middle of "Zell's Love Quest", where he's courting the library girl, and they apparently spend the night together in Balamb.

You know, in the Japanese dialogue, he's not even eating hot dogs. It's bread. They changed it for the English dialogue.

I did give evidence in the first few posts of the thread, although the one with the Library girl seems to be invalid.

So can exactly point out what leads people to believe he's homosexual?

Because people make fun of his strength? Seifer calls him chickenwuss because Seifer is just trying to pick on him. The fact that Zell fights with his fists alone instead of a weapon should erase any indication to him being weak. Also, one of the mechanics near the entrance of Balamb town says how Zell did 100 pull ups or something - a feat that surely shows strength (anyone who disagrees try to do as many pull ups as you can(chin-ups, wide grip, or whatever), and see how many you can do).

The fact that his room is neat just ties in with his martial arts background, because of the discipline required to be a martial artist (picture his sensei teaching him to be neat, and clean everything up after himself, as early lessons and practice in discipline). I couldn't help but notice all the guns on his bedroom wall, and punching bag, things that sterotypically signify machoness and manliess (its not like there were pictures of flowers, or other girly things in his room).

The fact that he visits his mom is probably because she lives by herself, and she's probably lonely, especially where she raised Zell, and probably misses him. Plus he's nearby, so why not do a good deed and stop by to say hi when he's in town.

As well, I don't see how he shows affection for Squall. He probably admires him, being the leader and all, and he was grateful because Squall saves Zells life in D-District Prison. Still no hinting at him being gay.

Although that link you gave gives lots of good information on Zell, there is still NO evidence that he might be even remotely gay. The fact that writer even hinted at this is off-base.

[Destai]

hes probably bi.

I dont see how visiting one's mother makes one a homosexual. He loves his mother very much, and he seems to be one the few lucky enough to have a parent, especially one close by.

There's no evidence that Zell is gay, and he does seem to like the pigtailed girl, though doesnt pursue it. There's a bit going on in the sidequest scene.

Though of course, every guy who doesnt chase tail or flirt or whatever with every girl who is interested in him most like guys, yes?

Zell pays attention to Squall because he admires Squall and wants to be his friend. Selphie also pays him a lot of attention, yet clearly is not attracted to him. Irvine even looks up to and confides in Squall, as do a great number of Balamb Garden students.

I suppose the point of this thread was discussing what proves he's not homosexual once and for all. If he did in fact "do something" with the library girl in the sidequest, then that's that I suppose.

On the other hand, he does not seem to particullarly interested in the library girl upon first meeting her and still isn't in the ending FMV of the game.

By the way, the fact that there are "manly" items in his bedroom and he does 100 pull ups doesn't prove anything about him one way or another. There are many straight guys that do this kind of thing to impress the ladies or for brute strength, but homosexual guys tend to be muscular also.

[FFVIII Fan]

there is no indication that zell is gay, so i certinly feel that the squaresoft didnt want him to be seen as gay

If you stay at the Balamb Hotel at the end of Zell's Love Quest, you wake up first thing in the morning, and find Zell missing. You do find him in the lobby with the Library Girl, which could lead one to believe that he spent the night with her, or at least spent some "Quality Time" with her.

And he is in the ending FMV with the library chick, as he eats his hotdogs. He's enjoying his hotdogs, while hanging out with his girlfriend.

I know that, I said "sterotypically" speaking. If Square wanted gamers to think that Zell was gay, they would have been much more blatant about it, dropping many hints, the blatant sterotypical kinds of hints that he is gay. Yes, the guns are a sign of machoness, and manliness, sterotypically speaking. If he was gay, I would say his room would be much more femine, he wouldn't have guns on his wall, or a punching bag, i.e. maybe it would be a more feminine colour. Of course there are gay people who like guns, and those who like martial arts, and being fit, but I mean "sterotypically". He just doesn't, in anyway, resemble a homosexual.

I made the sidequest and their dialoggue is not understandable.
How do you manage to make it understandable,Mo-Nercy?

[* White Aeris *]

yeah... i spent ages trying to work out what they were saying last night...

[boys from the dwarf]

i cant be bothered to read the thread all the way through but who briught up the idea that zells gay anyway.it doesnt need to be proven untrue because it already is.

[ZuZu]

Never though that Zell would be gay...but he was more interested about Squall that girls :rolleyes2

"Squall, show me your gunblade, just a peek"

"Whoa, I'm with you"

Seriously, he's not gay...

[Future Esthar]

Can someone give the entire dialogue please (If you can decipher it of course)?
