I've never been fond of the "boy meets girl" love story because the writers always try to make it a focus and like Spooniest, I don't want good story telling being mucked up with this whole "Will they? or Won't they?" BS, especially since it usually pretty flat in the FF series.
I tend to like the love triangles the most, because I feel they are the love stories that bring out more discussion and they are not usually as easy to see. Cecil, Rosa and Kain was always an amusing dynamic among the three of them and I felt the love triangle makes their relationship and their characters more interesting. Locke/Rachael/Celes was one of my favorites, partly because the love story rarely overshadowed the plot and always stayed as this side event but I also feel it's interesting to see a story where one of the three isn't really a participant anymore. While I kind of feel that Cloud and Tifa's relationship is established on poor grounds since Tifa really didn't know Cloud as a kid; I have always liked the CloudXAerith relationship just because it was interesting since their attraction was kind of twisted, with Aerith sensing Cloud was like Zack, and Cloud being subconsciously controlled by parts of Zack's memories. It was interesting to watch. I also just liked the Ashe/Prince Rasler relationship since it was nice to see a well developed "lost love" story that actually didn't end with Ashe getting a new boy toy to replace the love of her life.
Honestly, I want to see a love story between to former lovers. People who actually have history for one another and called it splits because they both had issues that got in the way of the relationship. I find these types of love stories to be far more interesting and we've seen the "boy meets girl" story done to death by now so let's give it a rest.
