While Vivi could be asexual I guess, my take on it is that he is like a 10 year old kid, maybe younger than that so I doubt he would even have sexual feelings anyway.
That's not how sexuality works...
It feels like 343i injected a little "romance" between Cortana and Master Chief, but maybe I misinterpreted those awkward cutscenes.
Would you mind clarifying this a bit? Since the topic is about implicit asexuality I can see the line getting kind of blurry, particularly since characters being genderless is often also an implicit thing.
(Also, Toadette)
IIRC it's completely possible to play Max from Life Is Strange as asexual.
She's probably the weirdest protagonist in any game I've ever played.
Asexuals can still fall in love. But I didn't see Chief falling in love with Cortana. It's more of him expressing deep sadness for losing his one and only friend that understood him.
It's massive spoiler territory, but Vivi's age shouldn't have anything to do with this conversation. I know you're still playing through so I'm treading very carefully here, but there's nothing later in the game to contradict your analysis that Vivi is probably asexual and a lot to support it.

NiGHTS
This is, unfortunately, the correct answer.
Except for ^ this one, it was legitimately jarring to notice Kat actually making advances and musing over male NPCs in the game.
Controlling a female character who actually pursues her sexuality is a huge contrast. It almost never happens.
Female characters usually have tunnel vision for the player / a single character, or are essentially completely asexual.
NiGHTS is male and identifies as such. This much was confirmed by the Sega/Archie partnership in the 90s.
I hope that latter statement isn't a judgment based on the former.
I agree with the latter in so much as she doesn't speak like a normal human being -
atrociously written dialogue.

The only time he smiles in the series is when he gets kissed by a prostitute in Contracts. I don't think he's asexual.
Interesting to see divided opinion on this one.
Vivi is just a kid, who doesn't really know much about anything (including himself), let alone sex.
Isn't the gender based on the kid it manifests or something crazy like that ?

Fan artists would disagreeinorganic characters can't have sex.

Anyway, Zidane isn't that much older.

Any game based on a shonen anime/manga that isn't romance based
So would shippers but I try my hardest to block that from my mind.Fan artists would disagree
Why are you talking about what they 'identify' as

And in Codename 47.The only time he smiles in the series is when he gets kissed by a prostitute in Contracts. I don't think he's asexual.
I knew I was gay before I even knew what gay meant, and I was a kid.Yes it is. I didn't know I was gay until I was a teenager because I didn't feel sexually attracted to anyone being a kid.

I think it's been stated in an interview somewhere that Miles Edgeworth from the Ace Attorney series isn't into women. Now, the popular interpretation of that is that he's gay, but considering the lack of a REAL romanceover the course of 10 in-universe years, him being asexual/aromantic makes a lot more sense.(sorry Phoenix)

I'm inclined to agree with the OP in this case. First of all, (spoiler tags for OP's sake)Vivi is a 9 year old (spoiler)Actually like a few months
He doesn't think about that stuff because he's too young. Sorry to take away a potential representation but I think Vivi is grasping for major straws. And yes, there's a spoiler later in the game that nullifies that assumption regardless of Vivi's age.
Wahaha so true.
The entire Resident Evil cast
Because this newage hippy tumblrite lingo is genuinely annoying to navigate.
Or something.
Examples of aromantic representation would be welcome too, on that note!
