Cute, constantly bickering old couple: the game. There's a kind of classic Hollywood screwball comedy vibe to those two (think Cary Grant + Katharine Hepburn) and it's absolutely wonderful.

Super Paper Mario!

I thought so, at least.

Spoiler

Don't laugh

Nah, I also enjoyed the Timpani/Blumiere stuff. Yeah, dome people might say it's a bit sappy or whatever, but I can be a suckerfor that and I dunno, it just hit all the right notes for me and came together really well.

 

[dangerskew]

I'd say either Geralt & Yennefer (The Witcher) or Nathan & Elena (Uncharted 4).

 

[Aleh]

Dagger and Zidane from FFIX. It feels like a truly sincere relationship and they had so many romantic moments that didn't feel shoehorned into the story.

Tidus and Yuna for example were cute too but it felt much more shallow. Squall and Rinoa were sort of funny but I loved the scenes they had in space.

 

[Audioboxer]

lol, fuck, my sides.

But yeah FF8 is damn good. Square pls, PS4 port with trophies.

 

[QisTopTier]

This, a particular scene in the sequel was fucked up beyond belief.]

Also the only good FF romance is Zidane and Dagger

 

[yunbuns]

Zidane and Garnet are okay but they aren't even the best couple in their own game let alone the entire series.

[davidwhangchoi]

Stella and Noct

 

[jb1234]

Tidus/Yuna is probably my favorite coupling, if only for the ending.

Zidane/Garnet also has some good moments and is probably handled better overall.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Is Minerva's Den (Bioshock 2 DLC) already mentioned? That's a great love story.

And when I say DLC I also want to mention The Last of Us' Left Behind.

[DiipuSurotu]

Anyone who doesn't reply To The Moon hasn't played it.

 

[borges]

Gerald and Triss for me.

 

[walking fiend]

Ghost Trick had an excellent chemistry between the male and female lead character s

StarCraft's between Keriggan and Raynor was neat too

 

[RespectThySole]

Geralt & Yen

 

[Deleted member 144138]

Master Chief & Cortana

Maybe not a classic love story but it's...something

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Oh, there it is. 100%. Blindsided me with how maturely handled it was - even handling a sex scene perfectly, way better than The Witcher 3.

Wtf how have I not heard there's a love story in this. Crap and I think it's not on sale anymore.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Surprised it took this long for anyone to post this.

Same.

The ICO relationship sticks with me to this day. Not only did ICO want to protect her, but I DID as well.

 

[afternoon delight]

Max Payne and Mona Sax.

Number one with a bullet for sure! Great choice.

 

[jdstorm]

I'd say either Geralt & Yennefer (The Witcher) or Nathan & Elena(Uncharted 4).

You mean the game where Nate lies to his wife to go around mudering people for treasure, then almost gets her killed after she travels half way around the world to find out what happened to her lying husband

 

[CrispyBoar]

IMO (& I keep thinking about it), I think that there should be some kind romance in which two close friends (or two strangers) who happen to be half-humans & half-demons fall in love with each other (a boy who's mother is all human & his father is all demon, while the girl's father is all human & her mother is all demon).

It can be from a JRPG or a Action/Adventure game similar to the Devil May Cry series.

 

[CJCW]

Anyone who doesn't reply To The Moon hasn't played it.

I played it.

It's way overrated.

 

[He1nekenP1ss]

Love: Elly & Fei (Xenogears)

Fatherly love: Haruka & Kiryû (Yakuza)

 

[Back-In-Black]

Shepard x Liara.

.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Anyone who doesnt say To The Moon hasnt played to the moon.

Couldn't agree more. Re-playing Witcher 3 now and just arrived to Skellige. Their chemistry is so spot on.

 

[-Mutsukki-]

I really liked Shulk and Fiora in Xenoblade

Kafei and Anju was always a favorite too

I also have a soft spot for two Link and Zelda, especifically:

Spirit Tracks: You get to see this bratty princess posses armors and stand up to enemies with you along your whole journey

Spoiler

Skyward Sword: Zelda doesn't have much screentime, but I always find the beginning and how strong Link reacts to some events to hit me really hard

Spoiler

Yes, going by the faithful route I agree. Both characters are full of problems, but in the end love is really a lot about sacrifice to another. Best couple.

 

[JusDoIt]

Femshep x Liara.

FTFY

 

[dreamfall]

Mona and Max were the best. I'd say Jenny and Jackie from The Darkness also.

 

[JBwB]

Off the top of my head:

Life is Strange -

Spoiler

Max & Chloe

Witcher series -

Spoiler

Geralt & Yennefer

KOTOR -

Spoiler

Revan & Bastila

Uncharted series -

Spoiler

Nate & Elena

All of these were pretty great.

 

[Funyarinpa]

The House in Fata Morgana definitely.

Yyyyyyyyyyyep. Best love story I've seen.

Runner-up is FeMC and Shinjiro for me in Persona 3 Portable.

 

[Dark_castle]

Clearly you are all wrong. The answer is Dante and pizzas.

 

[BlueTieCasual]

I'm probably in the minority but Aeron and Elena from Pandora's Tower (Wii)

 

[AudioEppa]

You mean the game where Nate lies to his wife to go around mudering people for treasure, then almost gets her killed after she travels half way around the world to find out what happened to her lying husband

She's just happy it's not another woman, she's the wife of a retired pirate, she understands, she a real one.


Now put some respect on the name of their love.

 

[karasu]

hahahaha @ thread wtf

 

[Neoleo2143]

I'm probably in the minority but Aeron and Elena from Pandora's Tower (Wii)

There are more of us. Pandora's Tower is far too underrated.

 

[AgeEighty]

Zidane and Garnet from Final Fantasy IX would be my favorite.

 

[Probity]

Quite a lot of good ones here.

Um. Gone Home?

 

[Creaking]

Robromance

Two good robromances this year

What's more, you even

Spoiler

insert yourself into his body, in a manner of speaking

near the end of the game.

Little surprise that this one also involves Brian Bloom (voice of BJ in Wolfenstein TNO) on one end.

 

[dr_mario]

From the most emotionally wrecking game I've ever played.

Just like any love moments between the immortals and mortals in the game, be it Kaim and his kids or above Ming and Jansen.

Great game.

 

[Gaminar]

I really believe Prince of Persia: Sand of Time is absolutely an amazing story of romance, wits and charm all coming together where both the protagonists grow together. The ending also emphasizes on how well it was done, because when you finished the game... well emotions went from wtf - oh dear god...

POP 2008 was good too, but it just didn't draw me in unfortunately. Elika did feel like a real person, but the Prince was waaaayy too happy go lucky through the whole thing.

Lol best fail though: Ashley - Leon | Resident Evil 4... that rejection at the end was way too good.

 

[a very cute dog]

If I'm being totally honest, I've never played a good love story in a game. I'm kind of skeptical they're out there.
