**The Episode 7 of the anime adapts Sorey and Mikleo's BreakUpMakeUpScenario, although on better terms than the game. Mikleo worries about Sorey distancing from him now that he's the Shepherd and ultimately leaves in the middle of the night to find the Divine Artifact for water armatization so he can help him. Lailah notes that Sorey "must mean a lot to you", to which Mikleo says that they were "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial just stuck together]]". However, the French dub adds DubText, where Mikleo describes himself as Sorey's friend and partner and instead of getting {{Tsundere}}, simply says that they were always together.
** Their reunion in Episode 9 involves a different BigDamnHeroes moment for Mikleo, where while fighting a drake that flies out of the reach of Lailah's sword and Edna's gauntlets, Lailah tells Sorey why Mikleo left and that the Divine Artifact could help them take down the drake. Sorey says he knows Mikleo is coming, he can feel that he's nearby. Indeed, Mikleo shows up to save them, and has the usual response to giving Sorey his true name: "He already knows it!" "You bet I do!" Once again, the French dub adds to this episode with Edna's remarks, where she reacts to Mikleo's appearance saying "So this is the famous 'friend'?" and in the ending dialogue when Sorey and Mikleo insist the other missed them more, walks in with "Tell us if we're interrupting you lovers".

Added DiffLines:
* VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria is absolutely loaded with this between [[TheHero Sorey]] and [[ChildhoodFriends Mikleo]]. They're childhood friends and rivals, tend to be very touchy-feely with each other, and it becomes quite apparent as the game progresses that they are each other's most important person.
** Mikleo actually falls into the majority of scenarios that would usually be reserved for the love interest.
** Mind you before continuing that unlike most Tales series, there isn't a 'set' heroine for Zestiria.
** The anime special includes a fair bit of shipping fuel as well. When Sorey catches Mikleo after he triggers a pitfall, Mikleo can be seen smiling to himself before asking to be pulled back up. When Sorey and Mikleo are leaving the village, Sorey tells Mikleo that he's glad they'll be together, and Mikleo responds with a LuminescentBlush and some {{Tsundere}} line about Sorey being hopeless. Boys...
** Hell, the two get into an argument early in the game because Mikleo wants to form a pact with Sorey so that he can fuse with him, but Sorey refuses because he doesn't want Mikleo to get hurt. All this does is cement how protective they are of one another, and when they finally make up it's with a ''tickle fight''. The whole thing [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything sounds a lot like]] [[TheirFirstTime something else]].
** There's a skit where Zaveid tries to convince Sorey to peep on the girls in the sauna, by trying to appeal to the beauty of seeing their "hot skin, glistening with sweat". Mikleo enters the scene, sweaty after exerting himself in some manner, and Sorey asks Zaveid if that's what he meant. Looks like Sorey's into a whole other form of beauty...
*** The English version of this skit actually manages to make it even more obvious.
--->'''Zaveid:''' Sorey... Let's go hunting for babes.
--->'''Mikleo:''' (entering the scene, sweaty and with his collar undone) Whew, that sure was therapeutic! Why don't you guys step in as well?
--->'''Sorey:''' You mean like this?
--->'''Zaveid:''' That's not the kind of babe hunting I'm talking about!
** Another skit reveals that while Sorey was unconscious after [[spoiler: becoming the Shepherd]] Mikleo did nothing but sit beside him and read for the entire three days, when he could have been out doing better things with his time. He also declined hearing an explanation from Lailah about the requirements of the job, preferring to wait until Sorey woke up so they could hear it together. When asked why (and after Sorey brings up some embarrassing childhood memories), he reacts [[{{Tsundere}} predictably]].
** Near the end of the game the two share a scene on a balcony (does that sound familiar?) where [[spoiler: Mikleo reveals that he knows Sorey will have to disappear for a few hundred years at the end of the game and is quite broken up about it, but says that he'll wait for Sorey to return no matter how long it takes. Sorey for his part, vows to find Mikleo once he's able to]].
** To top things off, in the post-credit epilogue [[spoiler: an older Mikleo is exploring some ruins and triggers a pitfall trap. Mirroring a scene from early in the game, someone catches him before he falls. It's heavily implied to be Sorey, and once Mikleo realizes who it is his face softens into a tender smile before he grasps Sorey's hand and the scene cuts to black, followed by the ending card]]. It could be argued that Mikleo, of all people, is the game's heroine in that regard.
*** It's only seen for a few seconds, but in the epilogue Mikleo is wearing a feather tied around his waist. You get no points for guessing who it's a memento to.
*** Earlier in the game, it's explained that when a human becomes a seraph, they lose all of their memories of their human life except those they consider most important to them. In light of this, [[spoiler:the fact that Sorey returns to Mikleo after becoming a seraph makes it crystal clear that he values Mikleo over all else.]]
** In the Alisha DLC Mikleo's been spending his time trying to secure the area [[spoiler: where Sorey is sleeping]] to keep him safe. Aww.
** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9qBYqUIYAAqXcv.png:large In the credits picture of the Alisha DLC]], Mikleo can be seen with a longing look on his face. What is he looking at ? [[spoiler:Sorey in his light form, still asleep with Maotelus.]] Note that he's the only party member to do that, emphasizing on how deep his relationship with Sorey is.

** Let's not forget some of Mikleo's titles in the japanese version of the game: "One Heart in Two Bodies", "Like Water to Fish" and "One and Only". They are all talking about his relationship with Sorey.
** In the first chapter of the novelization of the game Sorey spends ''a lot'' of time waxing poetic about how beautiful he finds Mikleo, steals glances at him, ''stares'' at him, gets caught staring at him, and then laments the fact that no one else can see Mikleo because he wants them to know how pretty he is.
** The English version's description of the water armatization is "The armatized bow gives you good piercing capabilities - just the thing for a tight hallway. Weaknesses? ...Well, it can be hard to cope with attacks from behind. But the first step toward dealing with this drawback is acknowledging it." The localization team really had a field day.
** And then one of the after-battle skits gives us ''this'':

-->'''Mikleo:''' Don't expect too much out of Sorey on this.
