I think it's because of the anime that fans started to put them together.
Pretty muvh this. Belfast had made a solemn vow to make Enterprise a functioning adult and as such she's mothering the CV like no one's business which means the fans are shipping them like the navy.
I thought it was more on the lines of adding a touch of humanity rather than just being a killing machine so to speak
Considering that Enty isn't like that in the game itself, it sounds like they altered her personality just to give an excuse to put Belfast in the story. If they wanted to do that, then why does she have to be ordered to basically be Enty's servant? Can't they have a relationship of equals? Can't Bel just be concerned with Enty and want to help her?

Sorry, rant over.
Of course not. Shipping sells and higher ups are well aware of this. Especially yuri shipping since it caters more to both male and female viewers.
Just don't expect it to going beyond teasing the fans. Going the full relationship route will cause a rift in the fan base that can backfire.

I still get PTSD from what Kadokawa did in Kancolle to Ooi, Hiei and many other girls. Outright flanderizing them with their freaking Fandom Personalities.

The worst part? I can totally see both Belfast×Enterprise and Ooi×Kitakami not only work, but work better with their original personalities than their animé ones.

Me too, especially since Ooi got her in-game personality changed to something more one-dimensional because of it.

You have an awful interpretation of what kind of maid Belfast is. She is more like, imposing forcefully her service to force Enterprise to live a healthy lifestyle than being a servant. For now, at least, Belfast has forced Enterprise to follow her rules, so if anyone has an upper hand in this relationship, it's the maid.
And as far as I can see, they do treat each other as equals.
Now, what are the canon personalities? We don't have the characters interacting a lot with each other in the game, for starters.
Would the fandom reactions to the anime be enough to convince the devs to patch out the player's ability to romance Enty, Belfast, Akagi, etc.? Or will they go the Littorio route and just canonized them as openly bisexual given their anime counterparts' character relationships? How much did Kantai's portrayals changed that about its featured characters, if at all?

They already added a unique line for Enty for when you sortie her with Bel. I would imagine there would be a few more nods to the animé like that, but I can't imagine the devs going any further, especially not patching out the romance mechanic. And personally, I like to imagine every KANSEN as bisexual.

The Kancolle anime didn't so much change personalities in that it canonized fan personalities.
Ooi wasn't a psychotic, yandere lesbian in the game. Nagato wasn't secretly a pedophile (Still isn't so that was one dodged bullet by those morons) or obsessed with cute things in the game. Haruna and Kirishima weren't Kongou-like goofballs in the game.
Meanwhile,. aside from Enterprise being more war weary ( a trait I hope she picks up in the game since she *is* still considered the Ace of Aces in the game, as well as being the Leader of the Eagle Union's forces; a position given to her crippled/sunken older sister and she should be tired from all that weight.) then her game self, all the established characters are acting as they were from the games.

The truth being what the girls are, I think that they least care about is who goes out with whoever they are first in a war that may kill them young people so who cares if you are of a certain sexuality the important thing is that they have someone who want or love.

For the record, I was questioning the possibility of the Devs being cruel enough to retcon the characters as fully lesbian so that the player is unable to romance them due to the anime's yuri subtext and its resulting popularity.

Considering that a big draw of the series is being able to romance the shipgirls, with a more complicated affection mechanic than KC's, and that Enty, Bel, and Akagi are three of the most popular and sought-after characters in the series, no.
I'm a little concerned about them changing Enty's personality to be more like her awkward, distant animé counterpart's, but I can't see it going further than that.
Enty's melodrama issues are getting a bit annoying, especially without shikikan to help her work through her issues. Now we have to wait 3 god damn months for the conclusion? What a botched anime release... from production issues to rushed deadlines, obviously. Prefer confident Enty from the game anyway.
