*** One good example of a specific scene is when the party is in the sewers trying to sneak their way back into Meltokyo. Just as they're almost through, Regal makes his entrance by taking Zelos hostage. Presea chases Regal off of him and the first thing he does once he's up is to go to hide behind Lloyd, [[TheGlomp latching onto him from behind.]] That's not the last time he [[TheGlomp glomps]] Lloyd either.

* ''TalesOfLegendia'' has, on the Ho Yay side, Jay and Moses, who eventually become quite close - Jay (who's generally emotionally distant) even hugs Moses in the end. It also has quite a bit of Les Yay, especially between Grune and Norma; Norma seems to quite enjoy cuddling up against Grune's [[MostCommonSuperpower chest]].

** And in the sequel... I told myself that anything I saw between Emil and Richter was just slash goggles. But, after Emil learned that Regal [[spoiler:was forced to kill someone he loved]] , there's a skit where Emil wonders if he'd be able to fight Richter if the time came. Followed by the fact that he [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday doesn't like Richter "like that".]]
*** It wasn't just you. This troper and her friends found themselves continuously saying, "Could their relationship be MORE homoerotic?" The way Emil babbles on about how much he admires Richter [[spoiler:despite the latter declaring himself to be Emil's enemy]] sure makes it sound like ''somebody'' has a man-crush. Not to mention, they're practically pitch-perfect for the {{seme}} and {{uke}} roles.

*** This troper saw some of this in Flanoir where you first meet Decus, with his whole "You must have a crush on me too!" thing. I think he basically called dibs on Emil if things didn't work out with Alice... I mean, after all, all he said was his heart belongs to another. Doesn't mean he wasn't interested. Hmm...

*** And then there's the cutscene where [[ItWasHidSled Lloyd finds out that]] [[LukeIAmYourFather Kratos is his father.]] Normally it's Collete who delivers the GetAHoldOfYourselfMan speech to Lloyd to snap him out of his HeroicBSOD, but if you manage to get Zelos' RelationshipValues high enough before this point in the game Zelos does it instead. He's the only one who can do this other than Collete.

**** Well not exactly, [[spoiler:Zelos only commits SuicideByCop in the path where you re-recruit Kratos, since that's the only path where Lloyd doesn't insist that he still trusts Zelos even after he betrays the party.]] So this basically holds true even when he's not Lloyd's most important person.

** Guy is terrified of women, and acknowledged in one sidequest to have basically raised Luke as they were growing up together. As a result, Luke depends on him emotionally to a great degree. Add to that the fact that Guy is Luke's servant and therefore technically has to follow his orders.
** Luke and Asch have a great deal of aggressive tension between them, plus Luke's struggle to have Asch acknowledge his right to exist, and Asch's {{Tsundere}} way of looking after him.
** Ion is the first person in the game that Luke is openly nice to, and they have some shared [[spoiler:[[CloningBlues angst over being replicas]].]]


Added DiffLines:

*** Dist is openly obsessed with Jade, only avoids CampGay because his sexuality never actually comes up, and generally acts like a StalkerWithACrush. Meanwhile, Jade tries to ignore him, but they were childhood friends, and the party actually speculates that Jade likes Dist more than he lets on. The interrogation scene with Jade and Dist was particularly...[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything questionable]]. Dist also hates Peony and basically treats him like a rival love interest, which leads to the next point...
*** Peony refers to Jade as "his", and gives him privileges well above his rank and station purely because they're so close, and [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem since he's the Emperor he can do that sort of thing.]] While Jade [[TheGadfly trolls everyone]] in the game, Peony is the only one who can get Jade back just as well, or even better. Jade is TheStoic, so he doesn't show as much affection as Peony does, but he does undertake dangerous missions as Peony's most trusted advisor, which speaks volumes.

* ''{{Tales of Graces}}''.....oh boy. Richard's crush on Asbel seems to have started when they were kids, 7 years ago. And not to mention that in the demo for Tales of Graces F, when Asbel jumps for the ship it's Richard that catches him. First scene. Then there's Pascal and Sophie, and Hubert who seems to be some sort of backwards tsundere for his brother. And then Lambda. Lambda is....well, let's just say he spends most of his time residing in either Richard or Asbel and has yandere tendencies.

*** It's even more blatant and ''serious'' if you make Zelos Lloyd's most important person and get the bonding scenes with him - of course, you get romantic subtext with anyone you decide to pair up with Lloyd, but in Zelos' case Lloyd becomes basically the only reason he bothers keeping alive.
