Yes. Fang and Vanille clearly loved each other. If it wasn't made clear enough in XIII, in Lightning Returns there's this bit where they both think they're about to die, and Fang wraps her arms around Vanille and says "Death won't keep us apart". That's not the kind of thing you say to your best friend or a sister figure. That's the kind of thing you say to your soulmate.
For me, that was the most romantic moment I've yet come across in Final Fantasy. So, I disagree: modern Final Fantasy CAN do romance.
