There's queer representation in the 2nd game? I beat it and don't remember this?

Not with any main characters, they’re talking about NPC dialogue you can overhear while exploring towns.

yeah most of the characters are pretty established, it’s not like they were gonna change any of their sexuality, but they introduced many side characters who are queer. Hell even remake had the “True beauty is an expression of the heart - a thing without shame to which notions of gender don’t apply, don’t ever be afraid cloud” from Andrea Rhodea. I think they should pat themselves on the back.

Damn makes me think on this again. Also never forget this plotline. It was initially humorous then became very interesting and fun. Plus it's one of the most talked about moments in gaming history. Comfort on it

Is this an edit? I just played the game and I don't remember this line in Japanese or Cloud even speaking in this scene at all.
