Nintendo lied: they said Fire Emblem Three Houses would have more gay options than it did

[P-Tux7]

The article I'm citing

This article says:

In Fire Emblem Three Houses, it is possible for the Protagonist to have same-sex relationships with certain characters.

However, this is a lie. If you're playing as a male character, you can only have a same-sex relationship with one character. They said "relationships" and "characters". Plural.

Regarding character raising, we have prepared a lot of options, so please kindly anticipate it.

This is also a lie. Again, you can only romance one character as male Blyleth. That's not "a lot of options".

Does the female protagonist have a same sex relationship option too? Cos then it would be "characters" technically.

Yup. Multiple even.

Google translating the original article it says one character. " a particular character". Maybe it was a translation issue (or of course google translate could be wrong).

I thought there were three?

With the problem being that two of them were old men?

There is an existing thread on this topic, and it should be noted that this particular quote was translated from Japanese, which often lacks plural forms -- it's not clear that the original quote was actually plural.
