@dew12333 They are adding it to the Japanese version in an update, and for why it wasn't in the game to begin with, well... It's Japan, their culture is still just starting to accept LGBTQ+ people, so they either didn't think of it, didn't think it was important, are somewhat homophobic, or didn't want to "offend" anyone. All countries taht are "safe" for LGBT people aren't even fully supportive or safe, either, Japan isn't the only one, just look at America for goodness sake... Even Canada, my home country, isn't all bright and cheery towards LGBT peeps, but they certainly are MUCH better than the vast-majority of countries. The answer may not just be one, either, as there is more than one person working on this game. There can always be more than one influence on a given action (or non-action), and everyone's "truth" is different. It's a step forward that this is being added to the Western release at all, let alone the Japanese one... Also I just realized that this comment you made is somewhat old so this may look silly, but I'm not just gonna erase this after writing it lol
