Yuri RPGs

[KaiserMk7]

If one were to aspire to make a turn-based RPG with 1 incidental main cast lesbian relationship, would one be encouraged?

Does just an overwhelmingly female cast of important named characters and any form of love between said female characters at all even qualify as yuri? Unless I'm forgetting something, that's about all this one has going for it.

Close but not hitting the mark

Just recommended them in another thread, but depending on the gender and servant you choose Fate/Extra for the PSP is pretty much yuri. I've only played Saber's route but the whole game revolves around the developing relationship between her and the main character, and Saber is very explicitly, looking at the camera and saying it out loud explicitly, bisexual.

Extra CCC (also for PSP) goes way harder on yuri, crossing over to basically a poly/yuri game. It's great. Every woman in the game is head over heels for the female protagonist and the main plotline revolves around, well, them being into her. Kinda NSFW though, just a heads up.

Edit: Almost forgot about Summon Night Swordcraft Story for the GBA. Kind of a weird one, since it seems basically they made the decision to let you choose gender when everything was written, so the romance routes are exactly the same as they are with the male protagonist. Pretty cool to have a somewhat tomboyish lesbian MC, even if by pure chance lol

Note about Craft Sword Monogatari: some of the scenes with the gals only happen if you're playing as a girl, the yuri was on purpose!

Also thanks for telling me about Fate/Extra, didn't know it had yuri

Realized I know very few RPGs with yuri as a core part of the plot, hereby requesting yuri RPG recommendations!

List of yuri RPGs I already know/played or bought: Mary Skelter, Blue Reflection Second Light, SaGa Frontier, newer Fire Emblem stuff

Last I checked In Transistor one of the antagonists is lesbian and is in love with the protagonist (who’s a woman), so that checks out.
It’s by the same devs of Bastion, so I’d strongly recommend checking it out.

Yea, you may choose to play as female avatar, and the deuteragonist, who’s a girl, would have romanatic tension with you regardless.

Funnily enough, Digimon Cyber Sleuth has this to an extent, but for extremely funny reasons, the female avatar was added incredibly last minute, so some dialogue intended for the male character was never altered, including one random instance where you’re referred to with he/him pronouns by accident. Classic Bamco skeleton crew work ethic. Makes for some hilarious screenshots though.

Yeah that's yuri

At the risk of presenting an undue annoyance...
How many layers of yuri are we operating on?
Do any of the listed elements beyond the standard displays of affection scream yuri?

If a relationship between main cast members allied or enemy is intimate enough to reasonably be identified as yuri without direct statement or basic tropes that indicate romance, it is yuri.

An example is the show Lycoris Recoil, they don't say it or show a lot of typically romantic stuff but them girls is gay without plausible deniability

Almost forgot about this thread but we can probably count Super Robot Wars Y kinda, right? Gundam WfM is featured in it and Suletta and Miorine are in full swing based on what I've gathered from secondhand info (screenshots like this mostly)
