Note: What is wrong with ya'll? She is very clearly gay in the game and in this DLC it's an EXTENDED romance that underpins ALL of the events of the DLC AND you have the choice to not kiss her so.....shut the fuck up? Here's the FULL romance for those questioning the chemistry! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9-VpMaAl5-6e2g.html

Aloy's facial animations are so impeccably detailed. You can see almost everything she's thinking with just her face

Aloy is such a chad. Kills the leader of her gf’s tribe, is heralded as a god for that same tribe, kisses the pretty girl of the tribe, leaves.

I don't mind the spoilers because I'm not going to play the game. But I'm a bit spooked at how freakishly realistic CGI has become: the movements, the facial expressions are so lifelike, you have to remind yourself these aren't real people. Kudos to the animators, I hope they're proud of their work.

I honestly didn't expect this- but i'm not too opposed to it either, i always wondered if Aloy would ever allow herself to be romantically involved with anyone considering how stoic she is. She always gave me the vibe of someone who's too focused on her missions to ever think about settling down and live a simpler life.

What I like about this romance, even if it doesn’t pan it out, it gives Aloy something more personal to fight for. Have a relationship and share it with someone she truly cares about. Thinking big picture is alright, but when the times get rough it’s nice to think of someone you are fighting for

The thing I see is that both of these women see the same thing in each other as they see in themselves. Which is why you work so well together. Both carry heavy burdens that they don’t want others to have. They both feel like they don’t fit in with their people. I think what sold it to Aloy was when Seyka admitted she doesn’t want to go home because she doesn’t fit in. There more underlying things but off the top of my head that’s what I can think of.

People miss the point of Aloy's journey in Forbidden West. Thanks to Varl 's insistince in coming with her and never giving up she grew more comfortable around people. This isn't out of nowhere and its not forced. If you play the dlc you'll see how much chemistry she and Seyka have throughout and Aloy's inner monologue shows how strong her feelings are growing for Seyka. And just because the world is still in danger doesn't mean its out of character for her to have one quick kiss before leaving. The dialog in this very scene shows she's still has her priorities in order. She just has even more reasons to fight for than just because its what Elizabet Sobeck would have wanted. If this happened at the end of Zero Dawn I could see people's point but we had a whole game of Aloy growing into being more open and receptive to other people.

It's shame to see end spoilers so early after release of DLC (it released like yesterday?), but nonetheless I am happy for Aloy. She did lots of character development in HFW (after all those loner years) towards learning how to trust others and what family means for her. Makes complete sense for her character to start looking into other kinds of relationships as well.

This leaves only Kratos and Thor to form a romantic relationship now

So wait we kiss and then split within a min 😢

True, the romance was a little too fast, but I think the two have chemistry and have a lot in common. Both are brave and selfless.

next time kratos kissing Zeus 👉👌✨🤌🥲

Like the idea of romance being added not personally sold on Seyka though. Always liked Petra, Ikrie or Erend.

You have to consider that people in survival mode like them truly live day to day, notwithstanding the idea of the world ending soon. It brings true feelings to the forefront. I'm not totally sold on their longevity but I'm happy that Aloy has reached a place where she can open herself up to relationships like this. I was hoping it would be Talanah but she does have more in common with Seyka. Also, as a queer woman, I saw her sexuality from a mile away. And it's amazing to already love this game and relate to a video game character even more.

How did people not expect this? There were SO many hints during the DLC. Even prior to it, Aloy has never shown any interest in males or reciprocated any male interest in her.

Well I was not expecting that Aloy would have a romance but that's very good, I didn't see that in a long time. That's what we want, a good writing about two characters evolving together, beautiful scenes who are not so silly. That's not like the romances option in Ac Odyssey that gives nothing to the story and after we don't even care about the characters

*_Do more than just survive. Flourish. - The Enduring_* Probably only second to the cute "Miss me?" Aloys says when you return to your flying mount (before jumping, gliding down and leaving Seyka freaking out up there 😅)

I don't care why the burning shores dlc is bombing. but little respect to lance reddick. RIP Lance Reddick

Aloy is my girl of gaming; I'm so happy she found someone she can let in and share moments like this. The voice acting of this scene, the music and the writing is as good as any romance moment in any media I have ever seen. When Aloy said "What if I do..?" was just so perfect and got me right in the feels. The utterly stunning graphics, detail on Aloy's model almost at times feel as though she is real. I've never seen facial animations be so consistantly outstanding in a series.

I saw this coming from miles away and It was still unexpecting. I love Aloy and seeing her being vulnerable with someone other then a friend was refreshing. It didn’t come out nowhere,nor was it forced it was simply two warriors discovering love for the very first time. I wonder what’s gonna happen next,considering everyone is ready for Nemesis. I love this franchise and I love how they basically changed everything for Aloy but in a fun,creative and new way.

How can you complain about this? How can your Life be so bad that you need to search for every little opportunity to protest against anything?

I wouldnt’t see anyother way with the romance option as much as feel aloy and someone along the lines of say like a talanah i feel much more for aloy and seyka so glad they finally put an end to no romance hope they continue on from this if theres more for the horizon series moving forward

Part of me was hoping that the cutscene would keep the headdress on so that during the kiss it would awkwardly clip into her face because the devs didn't account for that or something.

I'm finally playing the DLC for myself, and holy shit, I'm loving it and I really enjoy their interactions. It doesn't feel forced, it does feel like a natural progression for Aloy. So, when I get to the end, ik I'm gonna probably have Aloy kiss Seyka. Like, I like them together cuz it gives Aloy someone to fight for, yea, she's fighting to save the world, but now she's got a more personal stake in saving the world. So, in the third inevitable game, hopefully they'll have Seyka there as a romance able character. Like, hopefully Guerilla won't backtrack after the backlash. If someone doesn't like the romance, alright, whatever. I can see the arguments for when someone may say it feels rushed, but I personally don't agree, but hey, it's all subjective. It is what it is. But I personally like the idea of Aloy and Seyka together.

Gaystation

The music is so beautiful❤ it greatly elevates the scene

I loved it. After everything Aloy has been true from the begining she deserved to be whit someone that understand her like Seyka did. Aloy deserve to be happy and to find love. Hope we see more to that inn the 3rd game. It's great that there is 3 choice to pick, but I wil always pick the love choice

Aloy was revealed to be a clone of a queer women in the very first game, and people are surprised when she kisses a woman?💀

I know this ship is contraversial, but personally I like the execution. It's more about Aloy's emotional development, experiencing a first crush. And unlike before she's starting to be in a mental space where she can pursue a romantic relationship, even if a temporary one. People say it was rushed and I understand why they do, but it's not like they're dating. They admitted to their feelings and parted ways. I love what it had meant to Aloy and I'm happy she got to have her first kiss.

As a fan from the beginning and played all the side stories and all the interactions allowed ... this does fit ... and feels right ...I'm glad she finally allowed herself this .. she has denied herself this every other opportunity putting the world before her own wants ... she deserves this for all she has gone through

Anyone could see from the first screen of Aloy announced it was going to be more in line with this. *pretends to be shocked

Aloy never kissed someone before

Imagine getting so upset about a split second girl on girl kiss in a video game (which you can choose to easily avoid if you wanted to) 🤣

I honestly didn't expect there to be much negativity on this but once again, I appear to be mistaken. I definitely feel like my opinion on this has some good reflections on this scene and everything that led up to it. I played both games and while I was originally shipping Erend and Aloy, then Avad and Alloy after the scene of them before Aloy left for the Forbidden West. But after confirmation that Elisabet was at the very least bisexual, from her relationship with Tilda Van De Meer, we can conclude that Aloy is the same. So for anyone who says that Aloy being attracted to women doesn't make sense or isn't necessary, they actually wrote it organically into the game. I can definitely understand people not wanting some left-wing progressive shoehorning that happens quite a lot in media but this wasn't that. By the time Aloy and Seyka have their kiss, it was built up to organically and even me as someone who hates progressive shoehorning in media (cough, cough Eternals), I can appreciate that they simply orchestrated a beautiful moment. In fact, my belief is that the Burning Shores DLC wasn't really meant to create a stepping stone for the future third installment, but more to show that Aloy is developing as a person. While she spent her whole childhood shunned and outcast, she now has what could be considered a family. Horizon Forbidden West was her gradually opening up to people and letting people in, something both Elisabet herself and Aloy struggle with. For Guerrilla Games to create a scene like this with all the subtext there was available leading up to it, AND then for people to claim it as "not necessary" is to me, a bit short sighted. I will absolutely call out progressive shoehorning when it is obviously done simply for the sake of inclusion. This scene and everything that led up to it, in my opinion, doesn't deserve that criticism. It was a heartfelt moment that anyone should be able to appreciate, no matter their views or beliefs.

I'm loving the ratio

How can I get the theme music or song ?

I'm shocked not because she's gay but because she'd be attracted to ANYONE

Dunno why, i just dislike seyka from the very beginning.

Beautifully executed.

I never liked the idea of a romance for Aloy, for me she's one of those characters who doesn’t have time for romance. Like its one of the last things on her mind.

Can you choose a better thumbnail, I don't know maybe something that doesn't give away spoilers for a DLC that's barely been out for 24hrs?

I love Aloy sam! And seeing her smile around Seyka ahhhh be still my heart!

For a Record, I almost Believe Aloy was Queer. But after all, This is Confirm after all this Time

I had a feeling after I found those ancient scissors..

Yes finally! I've always thought Aloy was queer. Now I just need a PS5

It was just two lovers Sittin' in the car, listening to Blonde Fallin' for each other Pink and orange skies, feelin' super childish No Donald Glover Missed call from my mother Like, "Where you at tonight?" Got no alibi ,-JVKE

What outfit is aloy wearing here and how do I get it?

Bro thinks he’s The Last Of Us: Left Behind

What a fast personality shift. Through two games she was distant, even with people she *knew* longer than this woman. Where did all the urgency go to save the planet with that "thing" on it's way to earth?

1 word Gay

I really hope she gets to meet up with seyka in the next game and they can even fight alongside each other but I doubt they’ll do that. This dlc tho was incredible 😊

i want to ask about the armor lol wwhre you got it? BTW i loved the romanze it was so nice the build up in the sorry hope to see more

I loved the DLC, Seyka and Aloy are extremely cute together.

So is it a thing with Sony games having lesbian protagonist, like Last of Us 2.

After a lifetime of batting zeros, being shunned and betrayed...this is probably the only time we'll ever see anything warm and caring happen to Aloy, or Aloy gets hers...and she only had to battle a Horus for it lol. Aloy's life is kind of a damned one. The same as Elisabet's. They're all dedicated to the one job and one job only. Everyone's survival. No room for relationships. Tilda will probably just end up coming back, go psycho girlfriend and kill Seyka and Aloy will be left in the poo again, her her only "not friend," Sylens and we all know Sylens will just end up betraying her (again) too.

I feel like her relationship with Seyka is gonna end up like Elisabet and Tilda. Aloy clearly loves and cares for her, but she considers Zero Dawn more important then her personal relationships and she’ll eventually she’s probably gonna have to make the choice of Seyka and the others or Zero Dawn

By doing this they're saying that sexual orientation is genetic, because Elizabeth Sobek was gay too

Sony, try not to make every character gay challenge: Impossible

5:12 Look Closely, You can see Aloy close her Eyes as Seyka gave their First Kiss as a Couple. Never had seen that when i finish the Story

i love the cape design

Honestly I’m not surprised, throughout both games Aloy has shown to friendzone a lot of men & flirt with women more.

Strong women equals gay apparently

oh scissor me timbers!

Deleting comments are we?

of course

Never realized Seyka might end up like Varl and Rost.

Scissor me timbers

Aloy's voice actress is smooth!

BY THE SUN AVAD IS CRYING😂 im glad that there is a romance option but heres my option 1. Not every on has a ps5 or the dlc so if it can somewhat come to ps4 that would be amazing 2. Im glad that the player does have an option but does that mean this is a teaser forthe 3rd game? Are we allowed to romance anyone else? It is obvious that people have flirted with aloy such as Peta and Erend but really can the player have a choice? I am not against any gay or lesbian rights in fact I support it but you should be able to romance who you like it would expand the game sooo much 3. To be honset I wasnt expecting this in the DLC but again it could be a teaster Idk leave your comments and suggestions down in the reply section I would be really curious to see yalls options about this

Well, there goes My kotaloy ship 😢

What part of the game was that I like it.

She's not even the chick we wanted aloy to end up with

So me & Aloy will probably never happen... Anyways she deserves the love after saving the world couple of times, good for her 🏹❤️

They killed the IP with that shit

This game’s lore and stuff is so interesting but its got SO MUCH exposition dumping and telling rather than showing. Scenes like this make me wish that this game had better plotting or writing altogether, because there are like 6 cutscenes just like this that randomly hit you in the feels and are really well done.

If this happens to Chloe and Nadine from Uncharted I’m going to react

This is so beautiful to see, Aloy deserves love!

Imo compared to the other interests aloy has had feel like this one has like the least amount of a chemistry. Like if it were her and talanah then yea but this one just feels rushed tbh

At this point I’m not surprised. Doesn’t bother me. If that’s how she is, it is what it is.

To me though the kiss is pointless unless the game has a system like mass effect had, where our choices are carried over into the next game

Well crap, there goes my Aloy/Petra ship.

Whelp spoiled myself by seeing this in the sub box. But oh well,

I'm still shipping aloy with kotallo. Lol. Hekaro ? Anyone ?

i've loved this game since i was in 6th grade. i got all the zero dawn trophies and almost all the forbidden west ones and i've played the first game at least ten times through. this game is everything to me, and i'm very sad i can't play burning shores because i dont have a ps5... i'm happy though after seeing this, i love aloy with all my heart and it's amazing seeing how far this game has come. i'm hoping soon i'll get a ps5 and be able to enjoy this myself :)

Is it taboo for a woman to like a man these days lol

nice

Aloy first kiss

I don’t like that choice personally. I always saw her as an asexual.

Poor Erend.

I was just happy to see my girl happy after all that hardship. they better not kill her off in horizon three or I am at their doorstep!

It should’ve been me

I can imagine the writers at guerrilla going “Guys since Elizabeth had a relationship with Tilda, how are we going to this with Aloy? Because she’s a clone, how’s that going to relate to romance options for the game?” And then they swear and mutter under their breath because what ever they do there are going to be people who are not happy about it and are going to be vocal about it.

Not sure if that's a side of Aloy I needed to know. How about no romance as an option?

I was rooting for my boy Erend, but there is a hotter chick named Zo who just became single. Man needs to step up to the plate.

Annnnnd I believe this is the 3rd character that Ashly Burch has played that is not straight? (Chloe price, Rachel from mythic quest, and now Aloy)

That's why i pirated sony games.

Of course they have to put this gay shit in every game you loved, so silly

In the next GOW I hope Kratos don’t follow Aloy steps 🤦🏻‍♂️ Sony gay world 🌎

Poor Tilda…unrequited love
