I don't know what it means for a game to be "gay". I played as the girl for both Summon Knight games and they seemed normal to me. There weren't any dating systems or anything like that.

Dawn of Mana on PS2 had a higher quality version of "Endless Battlefield" from Sword of Mana. The GBA sound chip really held it back but the music was still very good.

I could be thinking of another game on the gba, but it was a game where the female avatar was sort of an afterthought, so if you played as the girl, she would have the male's same dialogue, and would flirt with some of the female characters in the game.

I don't remember any flirting. I never played as the boy so I can't compare dialogue, though.

So I found an explanation here

In the first game, your summon beast has to be Sugar for the flirty dialogue.

In the second, there's a character named Lynn who tries to kiss your character, regardless of gender, and your protagonist reacts to it the same no matter which.

In the first game, I had the robot guardian. In the second, I thought she was just trying to be like a very touchy older sister figure. I was very young when I played it so maybe I was just too innocent still.

And you could be right. Like I said, everything I know about these games is from hearsay, but it was definitely something that intrigued me to want to play (that and I love jRPGs in general)
