What is your favorite video game love story?

[Deleted member 526220]

Just give me recommendations for games with a really good, believable, heartfelt love story (that's more than just a random romance side quest or some romance options added to the game without affecting it).

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but Gone Home.

That's not bad. Link and Malon yes that is an interesting story It is said that Malon is Link's wife.

I'm a broken record at this point when it comes to this subject lol, but I'll go with Final Fantasy 10 once again.
Tidus and Yuna start out as very different people, but during the course of the game their affection for one another blooms organically, and they sort of absorb a lot of good qualities from each other. Yuna becomes more confident in herself and Tidus becomes more selfless.

It's always been a really sweet heart-wrencher for me.

Clorica x Player (Lest is the somewhat official name but you can call him whatever you want)

Link x Malon

Tidus x Yuna

Starry Flowers is my favorite love story, if you don't mind this kind of gameplay. It was finally something that truly understood my lust for romance.

I also like Lonely Wolf Treat from the same creator that does feature some romance, although the game is not finished.

Honestly it´s hard to think of any and the only once I care for is in the games I can pick my own partner like stardew valley and such.

But honestly I don´t think romance fits in allot of games. Take Mass effect or BG3 like romance does not fit in to does games. Hey I known you for a few hours lets bang okey ? Or Hey I know this an end of the world scenario but do you have time to date me ? Like lets take a pause from world ending and date.

But still the Bad guys is alwys so nice and wait for you to date and make out and will not try to end it until you are there.

Honestly you don´t need romance in allot of games just becuse you can does not mean you should.

What next Elden ring 2 and you have to decide which boss to romance instead of killing ?

I really, really like the many ones in Lunar.

None come easy. They are all earned rather than given, and they are all full of bumps on the road.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

I hear people love Fei x Elly
And a few less people like Adell x Rosalyn

 

[Boog111]

Can't remember if this game contains exactly what your looking for because its been awhile since I played it but you may want to try Ar Tonelico for PS2.

Honestly, I'd probably go with Shadow Hearts 1 and 2.
