Which RPG has the cheesiest love story?

[DMKA]

actually Margie is 16 while Bart was 18. Kind of like a senior dating a sophomore. Not really that much of an age gap.

Oh...my bad. For some reason I thought she was 13. Scratch the agegap thing then. xD

[Lord Chainsaw]

I've got to agree with the LoD love story being bad. I thought the game was fantastic but this bad love story really brought it down a few notches. It's still a great game, but it had so much more potential had they not quarter-assed the love story.

Another bad love story is probably Will and Kara from Illusion of Gaia. Will's a mute and Kara's a spoiled brat the entire game, but at the end they're suddenly together? Did I miss something?

[TheAbominatrix]

Ugh, I totally agree about Will and Kara. Kara was my most hated character, and I had to deal with her the longest. Jeez, they at least could have hooked him up with Lily. Though I did like the romance between Lily and that other guy whose name escapes me at the moment.

final fantasy 8s love story was realy crapy

[Luc]

FF8, for sure. Most FF love stories sucked, actually. =/

[RedCydranth]

hmmm, worst love story in any RPG? Does Azure Dreams count? The fact the main character has to court 8 girls creeps me out. Especially when he goes after the sick dying young girl, the nerdy library chick and the sexy 'old enough to be his mother' dancer all at the same time. Baaaaaad love stories in that game. But for some reason I liked that game's concept.

I agree FF8's love story overshadowed more important factors, but that is what FF8 is about. I was supposed to be more of a love story than a save the world game, it just so happens Squall does both.

[amratis]

If I recall correctly, when FFVIII first came out it was advertised as "the greatest love story ever told". Heh. Talk about misleading.

If there was any one video game couple that was most likely to break up one week after the game ends, it would be Squall and Rinoa.

I know no-one's posted on this thread for ages, but I just gotta say, LOL. and probably true. -And I'm a S/R fan, how does that make sense?

[Raistlin]

Well, I have to say that Lunar SSSC had the best love story of any RPG. Ever.

As for worst...FF8 was pretty damn bad, I have to admit.

[Imperia]

Final Fantasy VIII.

I know people will argue with me over this, but oh well. I thought it was extremely forced, and between the two most annoying characters of the game. Rinoa is constantly a damsel in distress, not to mention her constant, annoying chatter. The fact that this dumb little romance took precidence over the rest of the potentially interesting party just made me hate it even more.

I thought it was extremely forced too. The entire story focused on Squall and Rinoa alone (plus saving Rinoa's pathetic butt constantly). It was annoying.

I remember Will and Kara from Illusion of Gaia. Kara was bratty. She whined a lot...

[ApocalypticLeon]

FFVIII. Don't get me wrong, i's my favorite gae of all, but Squall and Rinoa don't seem to mix well. I hated how she open him up! I liked him with the "Whatever, I don't care!" badass aditude. But, thats just me.

[nik0tine]

I agree one hundred percent with Necro on this one (except for the crying part. I didn't cry, honest!) The exact same thing went through my head about the whole space thing. I thought that was really something, and it was. I also did not dislike Squall or Rinoa. I don't understand why everyone hates them.

ffvii was pretty shiddy in the love story department, I thought. Theoretical conversation between cloud and tifa:

Tifa: Cloud, I'm going to make this as plain as I can : I want your body. Now get your ass over here.
Cloud: Tifa, theres no time for that, we have to find Aeris.
Tifa: Sephiroth killed her, you retard. Now take your clothes off.
Cloud: What? Nooooooo!!! I don't remember that!!! DAMN YOU SEPHIROTH!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!
Tifa: You already did that, you clod. Now get your ass over here and take me, you wild man beast.
Cloud: ...
Tifa: ...
Cloud: ...
Tifa: ... I'll give you some pocky.
Cloud: ... Ok. Aeris wouldn't want me to miss out on pocky.

Yeah... Neurotic guys and women who are horny for them don't make a good mix.

[crashNUMBERS]

Dragon Warrior.

After playing that game for a while, I saved Princess Gwaelin. She then gave me her love, which took up one item space. How in the hell?! And the way these bozos speak. "Thou art our only hope." "I wish thee well." I felt like saying, "Quit thy being a pain in ye olde ass!"

lol

xD Yeah, Tifa liked him, but she was very very shy. If anyone would be bold enough to say it outright, I think Aerith would be that person (and before every Aerith fan with a half-mile radius freaks out, no Im not saying she's a whore. She is, however, far more forward than Tifa).

VII's love story was fine for me, because it wasnt the focus. The whole game didnt revolve around love, in fact it doesnt come in too terribly often. But I can understand why it's not everyone's favorite.

The only thing that truly bothered me was the lack of concrete love interest, because now we have 75,000 people and websites fighting with eachother about who Cloud loves.

All RPG "love stories" are terrible.
