Legend of Dragoon is your standard RPG. You know the type, random battles, swords, magic, questionable fashion sense, it's the standard game here. Only, it's not. See, there's this thing with Dart and Lavitz, two of the main characters. It might be the poor translation (and the translation IS pretty poor), but these two guys seem to be more than just good friends. For instance, when the game starts Dart has this girl he's trying to protect, like the good RPG hero that he is. In most cases, this would automatically lead to hot romance, no? However, Dart adamantly denies she's his girlfriend at all times, instead saying how like a sister she is. Odd, no? Shana, pretty hot (well, for a pile of polygons), obviously adores him, fertile, why ain't he pouncing on her like a dog on fresh steak? And Lavitz too is odd. High ranking soldier dude, pretty good looking, has a nice job, he should be raking in the ladies! But somehow he remains single. And when him and Dart get together, they are always having these 'bonding' moments whenever they meet, and I believe they even hug a few times. Plus, they talk about how good friends they are, and how the women folk can't understand their relationship. Uh huh guys.
It's also remarkable that, in spite of the open mindedness evident in Dart and Lavitz' relationship, how backwards the game is on other social issues. The women are ALWAYS told to go and prepare meals while the men fight things. You're so backwards when it comes to women LoD, yet so forward thinking when it comes to men.
