Gaming headcanons

I'm pretty sure it was proven false, but I still like the Pokemon fan theory that Ditto were failed attempts to clone Mew before they eventually succeeded in making Mewtwo.

there are a few things in the games that point to this. i think one of the gen 1 games had dittos appear more often the closer that you got to mewtwo.
regardless if it is true or not, i still went with that for my pokemon story. it made things more interesting.
 
I was thinking of mine, and a shocking amount of them are *insert character here* is gay, oftentimes due to a lot of evidence that I have to back up that claim.

So, uh. Shiori Fujisaki of Tokimeki Memorial is a lesbian. The poor girl smells so heavily of comphet.

I also have Faye Fire Emblem Echoes having PTSD and never recovering from that time she was six or seven and was less than a second away from having her head cut off.

In a similar vein, I ship Shamir & Catherine in Fire Emblem Three Houses. At best, the game can have them end up as "travelling companions", but I'd prefer to think of them as a lesbian couple. I also think Edelgard is bisexual, although I think the lesbian side of that is mostly just subtext.

sometimes you don't need to be blunt with characters getting together. if i remember correctly, one of the character endings in fire emblem 7 said that lyn and fiora spend a lot of time together after the game ends if they have an A support rank. shamir and catherine seem to have a similar vibe based on their conversation that i read over on the wiki. and edelgard is bisexual, at least with the girl version of the avatar character.

I'd argue Edie is flat-out homosexual, and the only reason this isn't a thing is because someone, somewhere, thought that it shouldn't be allowed to stand, for one reason or another. Whether that's because making it so Bylad can't romance a female character wasn't going to be something that flew for someone with enough power (or was assumed to have enough power), the classic homophobia, or some other reason.

By the game's standards, she is considered bisexual. But I ultimately disagree with what the game says.
 
My headcanon is that lyn and florina are totally gay, and that lyn didn't marry anyone on fe7 soo that why she is not in the binding blade, sue being just the daugther of Rath and a random sacae girl.

Most of the Dokapon games involve you going on a quest to save the kingdom, while also trying to get as disgustingly rich as you possibly can. Richest player ends up as the next king of the kingdom (even if he wasn't the one that took out the final boss).

The one headcanon I tried to make into a real thing was that, once everything was said and done, the entire kingdom couldn't pay back what the new king had earned. In order to try to make it happen, rapid inflation a la Zimbabwe occurs, and the Dokapon government ends up imploding on itself within just a year or two. All this because the previous king (now with a legacy as one of the worst kings in history) made such an incredibly greedy campaign, which would go down as an unmitigated disaster.
 
Anything past Halo 3 and ODST isn't canon. After the Covenant and Human war, the humans went back to salvaging their planet and repairing their world as the Elites went back to Sanghelios to return home and fight against the remnant Covenant forces. Sometimes Arbiter and Chief will have a picnic and talk after all that's done. They are even best friends.

based on what i have seen and played of the games in this series; i think it's just the same set of events playing out in a infinite loop with minor variations every time.

Exactly. The aftermath was so bad, someone contacted Garland to see how time-looping magic worked.

It's almost kind of a trope of its own, where you can't have explicitly gay characters or romance options in Japanese media. Not all Japanese media, mind you, but I've seen some anime and played some games in the past where it really felt like it was naturally building up to same sex characters getting together and then they'll either ignore it, or play it up for comedy/shock value.

That's why it bothers me in Three Houses a bit. But, @MasterEn did have a good point. While it would be nice for it to be more openly acknowledged, subtlety can also work. The game may have only said that Catherine & Shamir were "travelling companions", but at least that's more open-ended. There's still leeway for me to think of them as a couple.
 
Ogami from Sakura Wars is the ancestor of Hazuki Ryo, they look similar. Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, and Yakuza series takes place in the same universe.

Speaking of Yakuza, the true purpose of reality show Takeshi Castle is to find a worthy guardian to the Secret of Onomichi, to help with this process, Toru Hirose under the 'guise of Emperor Takeshi, asked a former commander of Hikari Sentai Maskman, General Tani, to find suitable contestants, due to his prior experience fighting against Emperor Zeba. The member of Hirose Family are descendants/relatives of the show's winners.

Aaaand the reason why Daidoji wanted to kept Yamato sealed away is due to it's alien technology, based from Iscandar Civilization, Kiryu revealing Yamato's existence putting earth on the crosshair of Garmillas Empire, which kickstarted Project Izumo years later at year 2199, effectively started the plot of Space Battleship Yamato.

And so, the 3 games I mentioned earlier indirectly becomes a part of Leijiverse.
Oh and remember Project x Zone? Where the 3 main characters of said games appear? It's all canon too!

Project x Zone IS canon to Super Robot Wars OG, Sanger Zonvolt appear in PxZ chapter 4, which happened sometime after SRW OG episode 2, Haken Browning also appear in chapter 7 I believe, which happened after SRW Exceed. They come back after PxZ during SRW Moon Dwellers chapter 18, where they both rejoined the party.

And we have Gilliam Jaeger in SRW, who literally has hop through multiple universe and... and... you know what ima stop here.

I'd argue it's the majority of gaming that has this problem. Every datable character must be into the player regardless of gender, regardless of their actualy tastes (they're usually straight), because this is a video game and appeasing the audience is more important than letting people forget that these characters are just lines on a script. Incidentally, this is kinda why I really like 3H's bisexual characters. Aside from Edie, who doesn't count, every bi character has their own preferences, instead of the standard 50/50 or straight+ (straight, but will date you if you want). Dorothea heavily prefers women but isn't against dating men if she finds a good one, Mercie prefers men but still likes women, that stuff. It's refreshing, and a very rare actual example of bisexuality in gaming.

You are right on that other end, though. Japan's been keeping that homophobic cliche a lot longer than some contemporaries, given how that started dying off in some other places at some point in the 2010s. Kinda wild how even a scant 30 years ago, they were much better about it than some other places that are now better than it, huh?
 
I like the idea that Samus became a bounty hunter simply because she thought it sounded cool and didn't know what the actual job entailed. (This is mostly based on the idea that the development team of Metroid didn't know what a bounty hunter was lmao)

My other headcanon is more of an in-joke but it's basically the real name of the Hero of Light in FF1 is "John Fantasy".

i wouldn't be surprised if that was true.
based on some details from the dissidia games, i think i know what the warrior of light's name is and even who he is supposed to be.
it seems that he is cid of the lufein. i base this off of a few details.
garland's recation to him first appearing.
the fact that cosmos is based on garland's mother. [this comes from reading the reports from both games and piecing things together. there was an attempt in the world where garland comes from that one of the 2 warring kingdoms/empires had try to use garland as a super soldier, only for the little one to refuse to do anything, and someone figured out that kids usually listen to their parents more than other people. so they made a magic clone of her. it didn't work. i guess shinryu or cid didn't get the memo and tried again.]
i'll have to go back and play the games again to check on some of this stuff; but it seemed like cid and his wife, i guess her name was cosmos, found an orphan kid and took him in, he had quite a bit of magic power in him and was a very helpful and kind child. shenanigans ensued and time and space were ripped open; they met shinryu who watching tv or something, they hung out a bit and they agreed to a deal to help power up shinryu to his perfect form, and they would get a 10% cut of his power so they could travel back to their world.
that's the basic gist of what i remember from playing the games from about 6-10 years ago.

You can't forget that Yuta, of the Hirose family in Yakuza 6, is actually Light Yagami from the Japanese live-action Death Note movies (played by the same actor). So, obviously, he was found out as Kira and had to flee to Onomichi and start a new life under a new identity.
