So long as it doesn't take away the involvement in the story a-la FFX. I liked FFVII, where although there was a love-story inside it, it never affected Cloud's individuality and you could still snub one girl and hit on the other one. :p I like to feel like I'm in control of the main character - and that I can build a personality. If they can manage these two things, I will be happy.
Maybe they could get a love story going where you fall for an NPC, a-la Zell and the pig-tail girl. :p
I'm not going to knock any love story (or lack of) until the game comes out.
Although I'm glad that the guy won't fall for the girl wearing the apron made out of a plastic raincoat.
