To my knowledge, this is the first major JRPG to have a canon gay protagonist. Sorey is a prototypical shounen protagonist with all the heroic traits that come with it, yet just happens to be into dudes, or at least one dude if it's a single target sexuality deal. You wouldn't even know it if you don't pay attention to the implications here and there. This is a straight up canon pairing.Īnd it's done completely tastefully! There's no gay stereotypes at all and is not made a defining aspect of his identity. Sorey, the main character of Tales of Zestiria is confirmed by series producer, Hideo Baba, to have a romantic interest in his childhood friend, Mikleo, who feels the same way about him. I'm surprised this isn't being talked about more considering the current climate.
