Final Fantasy and Romance

I love romance in a game, if it's done right. I fear that as the FF series is Japanese in origin that we lose a lot in translation (Hey, that just gave me a great idea for a movie).

Also romanticism in the east and west are different, as they are in Europe and America. We tend to see Americans as over-sentimental, they tend to see us as under-sentimental. Love isn't any different for any country, but how we show it is.

For me there was little if indeed any romance in vii,which is why I find Clairith so irrational. That was a story about loss, not romance, although one could argue that the two are not entirely unrelated.

X did work for me on a romantic level, but only in the scene between Yuna and Tidus swimming. I liked that a lot.

For me the story of Zidane and Garnet wins the prize. I smilled like a freak at the end. I just thought it was the most 'honest' story of a couple.

Thus ends my innane ramblings.
 
I'm really into romance in a game as well. I even like Squall and Rinoa's romance...even if it wasn't really that developed. As long as there's romance, it's all good. But the storyline has to be ten times better.

Anyway, I'd like to say either Zidane and Garnet or Tidus or Yuna, despite how I dislike Tidus' voice. Yuna and Tidus shared one of those beautiful but tragic love (omit X-2, please) and one that really made go "Aww..." genuinely.

As for Zidane and Garnet - simply wonderful, especially towards the end. Everything about the game is perfect, actually. It probably has one of the best environment and timeline in the series, in my opinion. The romance just added an extra bonus to game overall.
 
Do I like romance in my FF games? Yes. It’s one of the things I look forward to in the stories, actually.

For me, the best would be FFVIII’s love story between Rinoa & Squall. Lol… Shocking, right? Anyway, in my opinion and as I’ve said in other threads, I found to be more of your somewhat typical young love scenarios making it seem a lot more realistic and believable (Not a typical fairytale romance).

The worst? Can’t really think of any.
 
I'd have to say Aeris & Cloud for me by far was the best romance in all of the FFs^_^ I whated those two to be together so bad. Well I'll always have Kingdom Hearts 3. Or I hope that they bring her back:P
2nd is FFX . I would have said FFXII if Ashe & Vahh would have hooked up but that did't happen:dry:
