Lost Odyssey : Kaim and Sarah.
Maxim and Selan from Lufia is also a great choice.

A lot of these are good, but nobody mentioned The Prince and Farah from SoT. They were pretty good for the time if I recall correct.

Truly the best.
And by best I mean worst.
What game is this?

The dialogue between these two was absolutely magical. It's the main reason I bought a Collector's Edition of the game after I had beaten it on a rental.

PoP 2008 had better written banter, imo.
edit: ^^ good man.
Some Japanese kusoge game, don't bother.

Accept no substitutes.
That one was weird.
He was like "Well she can run around and stuff. It's settled! I'll make her my wife."
And around the tenth time he uses one of those sand pillar things and passes out, he wakes up to her stroking his head and saying worried things (despite passing out from sand pillars being old hat at that point) and suddenly calling him "my love" and like wtf. Their relationship just pops into being.
Loved that final kiss though. That was a great moment.

Still crazy how good those Skyward Sword models are.
I had forgotten about the Prince and Farrah, definitely my favorite couple.

Shocked and dismayed nobody's mentioned Locke and Celes from FFVI. They're my favorite by a landslide.
Other notables include Luke and Tear from Tales of the Abyss and Lyn and Rath from Fire Emblem.

Although I still feel bad about how Tia was just discarded, but nonetheless...
Tia wanted a man who would settle and not take risks or go on adventures - which was basically what Maxim was born to do. She feared for Maxim whenever he fought unlike Selan who had faith in his abilities.
Still a dick move by Maxim, but it's the touches like this that made Lufia 2 such a great game. Now I've got the ending music stuck in my head. ;_;

Oh, I agree, it made complete sense given the various personalities. Tia was never comfortable with Maxim going out and battling, and was unhappy any time he was gone, while Maxim had to follow his calling. Meanwhile, Selan was his perfect match. Still, I couldn't help but feel sad that, as soon as Selan came into the picture, Tia was basically just pushed out and disappeared.
And, yes, I have the same music running through my head, and all the lines as well. Such a marvelous game (and Lufia 1 as well, with the foreshadowing of what would happen in Lufia 2).
Totally disliked how they turned Zelda into an uguu kawaii childhood friend in SS.
But
that was just a trick to get Link to love her so he'd want to save her and save the world in the process.
A lot of not really couples in here lol. Here's a real couple:
(Anju/Kafei, Majora's Mask)
They even get married. I think it's rare to see a video game wedding.
Was gonna post this. Amazing side quest. Actually, probably the best side quest ever.
Chris and Jill is the worst crack pairing of all. 6 or so games and there's no hint of them actually liking each other that way but fans put them together anyway for no other reason that they are the male and female lead of a franchise. At least Leon/Ada Wong is actually canon and has been on-going plot since the first time the two characters were introduced.
Isaac/Ellie from Dead Space 2, Nate/Elena from Uncharted 2 are also legit.

I see you
and raise you
GameArts do couples really well, Miranda and Alonso probably deserve a mention too, shame they didnt get more time in the game.

That was my one area of contention with it. Tia just vanishes until the ending. But I doubt they could have included her in the remainder of the game in any capacity without having to hack the story and characterisation to pieces. Her brief moment in the ending justifies her absence completely.
Speaking of which, I just rewatched the ending on Youtube. It's powerful stuff. Such a great game.
