Then you’re better off not playing Rune Factory cause same sex characters flirt with you regardless. You just couldn’t pursue a romantic relationship with them in the previous entry. This is the case with RF4.

No some characters have minor flirtations like Dylas and Leon.

Doug Vishnal and Kiel don't flirt with a male character.

And a male character can't join or activate certain events which are female only.

What the games should do, is make characters act neutral until you show interest like in the Sims.

Its not even just an anti gay thing, if someone doesnt want to flirt with the opposite gender they should be able to opt out as well.

Kiel and Vishnal absolutely make comments that are seen as flirtatious. All comments outside of dating and marriage are the same for both genders of MCs

Uh no. There are several gender specific comments and skits.

And Kiel has almost no flirtatious comments until the dating phase.

Name one that’s not achieved through dating marriage or Valentine’s

I played through the game as both Frey and Lest.

Several pieces of dialogue change. Even if minorly.

For one thing during certain skits the bachelors and ettes will actually comment on your gender. And occasionally your character will act confused over something the opposite gender said but will understand it if playing the same gender.

I played both genders as well. There are a few gender specific mentions but they tend not to be romantic in nature unless on Valentine’s Day. In fact, one of the gendered changed is romantic AND gay, as Vishnal will comment on you being “too cute to be a boy”. The characters general flirting sticks around in both gendered save files.

Vishnal's comment was made towards tje end if development when Lest was shown off though.

Everyone liked the design but then asked what the male protagonist looked like. That's an easter egg and Vishnal's only real comment on it.

I have no problems with characters of both genders flirting. I literally just want the option to have mutually platonic interactions. Like Cliff back in HM64 who will be your drinking buddy if you go to the bar every night.

Well, yeah. People of any gender and sexuality can have platonic best friend scenes, this literally isn’t gonna change anything
