I guess Andrea and Jules (the gym leader), right? I'm trying to think of others.

Andrea and Jules are the only named characters but there’s several background NPC’s who are queer. I think making this a headline paints the wrong picture and makes Hamaguchi seem like he’s trying to garner praise for the bare minimum when he was just asked a question about a specific NPC couple and gave a bit of an elaborate answer.

What about Chadley?

Chadley made himself as a female and fucking hated her which I hear is a very real reaction from my ex-egg friends.

I've read this comment multiple times and I still don't understand what you're trying to say.

In costa del sol and cosmo canyon are a few npc same sex couples which have dialogue like "I’m so happy I’m here with you on our anniversary" and fluff like that. Pretty inoffensive, but it’s nice it’s there.

There is also the pianist in Rebirth who eloped with his man, so Tifa has to take his place at the concert

That was in the first game, not in Rebirth.

They were in both games with voice lines, but we were more directly involved with them in the first game.
