I mean Tom Brady makes out with his son so having one of the best Blitzball players want to bang his cousin isn't that unrealistic.

Football is a game about being gay with your dad. Blitzball was honorable.

Brother is a creep but to be completely fair to him he doesn't start hitting on Yuna until X-2 which is like 2 years after X. She's 17 in the first game and 19 in the second. Brother hasn't ever been given an official age.

I think the fact that he's hitting on his cousin still makes him a creep

I assume chatterbox Rikku just kept calling him Brother all the time so it stuck as a nickname.

Oh right I forgot about that detail.

At least in-universe everyone gives him poo poo and calls him out for this and he's treated like a butt monkey.

Though it is a high mark for the Final Fantasy series that with fifteen main games and a bunch of side ones there's only one arguable pedophile in the entire cast.
Quistis handles having authority over and the hots for Squall very poorly but also it's only vaguely alluded to for like the first two hours of the game and he's a grown-rear end teenage man so it's not as bad.

Yeah, he doesn't speak English in the first game so people just call him by the name she uses.

Well it's just Aniki in Japan, which could have been localized to a bunch of different names (Bro, Boss, etc.), they just went with the most literal one.

She only ever comes on to him after she's already been fired from her job and they are about the same age.

Edge's real name is Edward Geraldine.

The person who renamed Gilbert to Edward also named Ricard "Edward" in the FF2 Prototype, so she must have a thing for the name.

Actually I don't think they give him poo poo for hitting on his cousin; just for being a general spaz.

Maybe not directly but it's made clear that nobody really cares for it. At the start of the game Brother injures himself jumping onto the ruins because he heard Yuna wss in trouble. When they come back on board he tries to use the opportunity to mess with Yuna and immediately gets flattened on the floor. Yuna being nice asks if he's okay but Rikku just treks her to leave him on the floor injured and ignore him. I think she calls him a pervert too.

That's SO3, and the big plot twist is that the entire universe is an MMORPG that gets restored from backup by the Linegod after the admins try to deathtouch every NPC in the game . If you've been watching the reboot of Westworld, it's basically that.

SO4 somehow manages to be worse, kay. Especially the part where the main character gets mindfucked after his naivety gets an alternate version of Earth blown up, followed by hours of cutscenes where he more or less self-destructs to the point of almost losing everything he ever cared for, including his spaceship command and his love interest... after which you can have him sleep with a 16 year old catgirl from that alternate universe he got blown up. If you think Tama is the annoying with the verbal tic in World of Final Fantasy, enjoy those Lymle cutscenes, 'kay. One of your best party members is a 7 year old with magic, 'kay. And she talks like this, 'kay. Please, developers, stop making NPCs that sound like this, 'kay.

You accidentally managed to make SO4 seem really interesting. It’s not.

Never play SO4, it has no redeeming qualities. Sorry super-sassy Welch.
