  To be honest, I didn't expect much depth from Dion after first seeing him. I thought he would be just a pompous, pretty boy prince. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

  Dion is such a special character, a gay man not defined by his sexuality but by his actions, i love him, he makes me so proud to be a dragoon in FF14 ❤

  Dion is basically the human incarnation of bahamut which is one of the most popular and memorable summon in the franchise. This character really stole alot of attention and eyeballs from the players. Both his human and summon forms are attractive to look at not to mention he is of noble birth and also a noble character in the game as well.

  Dions speech to his father was an absolute banger. I felt that emotion throughout.

  Probably the best gay male representation in ANY game ever. Possibly any media ever. Not a stereotype. Sexuality not his entire personality. Actual depth and resolve. What a character. <br><br>Edit: Or any same sex attraction sexuality I’m not out here to destroy your head canon or mine. 😁❤️

  Really wish we got more of Dion. Every scene he was in was so well done

  Dion is my favorite and Bahamut was awesome.

  Dion&apos;s decision to lead a coup against the Sanbreque Empire was one of those decisions you&apos;re always hoping this sort of character is going to make, but they never really do...until this game. And the fact that he followed through, full force, was such a rewarding element to the this game&apos;s story. Also, while there remains quite a bit of ambiguity as to what exactly was going on with the various appearances of Ultima, I believe that Ultima was revealed near the end of the game to be an entire race, where each appearance was actually a separate being. And based on that interpretation, I believe that Olivier was the reincarnation of one of these being, who Dion successfully eliminated - at least his avatar, though possibly the entire creature itself.

  I kind of feel like you missed a major character point by not including his romance. It clearly demonstrated that he has personal ties and connections beyond his duty as Prince, and how he willingly, and dutifully, sacrifices his personal love for the greater good. Kind of feels like it was purposefully left out too, considering you named Terrance at one point, but only in passing without giving him his proper place in Dions story and life.

  When dion says I ask not for acceptance only forgiveness I had to pause the game and recover from the sheer power of the line and it’s delivery. I like to call him baja blast

  Dion is definitely one of my favorite characters in the game. I enjoyed watching his story arc, from him losing everything (his throne, father, and his kingdom), to finding redemption/closure in helping Clive and Joshua against Ultima, the entity responsible for everything

  Dion is such a bad ass character! I wanna see a DLC with him as the playable character.
