I wouldn't say that they "end up together", but I'm 99% sure that they're in love. The only official romantic relationship in this game is between Ashe and Lord Rasler (who is two years dead when the game begins). But Fran/Balthier and Vaan/Penelo are both heavily implied.Originally Posted by al-bhed_kid0827
Hardly! Balthier loves women! And wine! And fashion! He's a textbook dandy.I thought that Balthier was gonna end up being gay.
I don't think that Square-Enix has the gall to include a genuinely "gay" character in one of their games. Not in a significant role, anyway. That'll be the day! I think that Mukki - a rather ludicrous NPC - is the best we're gonna get.... It's sad. Gay/bisexual/pansexual/transgendered people are seriously underrepresented in video games. I wish the wide spectrum of human sexuality was explored more in the medium.... But, alas, the first gay main character in FF (if there ever is one) ain't gonna be Balthier!Yes - I love his jewellery.I mean, haven't you guys seen his rainbow colored rings and bracelets!Tell me about it! I wish a dashing and debonair pirate would come and steal me away from my family! Then I could live with him on his airship forever more.... Sounds like a dream.... *sigh*(I mean if I was in (SPOILER)Fran's position I'd leave my life to be with Balthier any day).
