So "best buds with maybe one throwaway cute line for the yaoi fans".

...that's pretty gay, man. "one throwaway cute line" would be something like "hey bro, you mean so much to me, I feel really close to you" or something. the line OP posted here is a lot more explicit than that.

But Sorey thinking that Mikleo is hot doesn't mean that they are canon. Sorey blushes at Alisha too and they aren't together.

Well, there's also the matter of Mikleo being Sorey's "soulmate." And while I can't find it now, I remember there being a skit where they reference "something romantic" going on between them. (People were digging into the original Japanese to figure out what "romantic" was translated from, and it was apparently even gayer.)

But it does make the possibility of him being queer pretty canon. And intentional homoeroticism in the narrative is also worth mentioning in any queer reading.

Re: OP

You're pretty desperate to exclude queer stuff

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a realist. I ship them and think they are adorable, they are my favorite Tales pairing. But they aren't canon.

I had high expectations but then I played the game and there was nothing. They are without a doubt soulmates, but they aren't the canon couple I was promised.

Re: OP

There are certain levels of canon, though, aren't there? When we say "canon" we usually mean, did they kiss on screen, confess their feelings in some way, and join together in some kind of sexual/romantic relationship. But there's a difference between "it's purely a fan ship" (with characters who are never seen in any kind of definite sexual/romantic interest in one another) and "they aren't in a canon relationship". If two characters not only show special interest in one another (and they are soul mates, for goodness sake), but there's even suggestion that they are sexually interested in one another? That certainly counts as something, too. Plus, queerness in mainstream media is rarely suggested if it isn't supposed to be somehow meaningful. Subtext not being fully spelled out for you doesn't mean it isn't canon.
