From Doctor Who and Star Trek to Buffy and Wynonna Earp, sci-fi has been one of the more consistent places we, as queer people, have been able to find ourselves on TV over the past few decades. People who write sci-fi and fantasy tend to connect with the “outsider” themes and therefore often include more minority groups (also I imagine it’s a little easier to pitch “also there are lesbians” when you’ve already been approved for “a woman sees herself jump in front of a train and then realizes she’s a human clone.”) And as the world outside looks more and more like the post-apocalyptic hellscape often found in shows like the ones on this list, seeing ourselves in the stories we look to for a bit of escapism is more important than ever.

While you stumble across a handful of minor queer voices throughout Final Fantasy 16, it is a more secondary element of storytelling than anything else. It doesn’t factor massively into Clive Rosfield’s own adventure as he acts as little more than a curious eavesdropper. Things change when you meet Dion Lesage however, the Dominant of Bahamut and royal defender of the Crystalline Dominion. He serves the crown and is obedient to his father, but comes to realise that forces operating in the darkness are twisting the allegiances of a kingdom once protective of its people. Now, it seeks rule of Valisthea no matter how many casualties pile up as a consequence. Dion, as a soft little fruit, isn’t too chuffed with rampant genocide.
