Durrrrr ur name dagger now

Lunar 2

>>5913080
I named her Garnet again and denied her the chance of self discovery. Thot

>>5913076

>>5913095

Lunar.

Someone you've known your whole life vs some hot babe that beams down from the moon. I cry everytime at both, though.

>>5913076
XenoGears, objectively. If someone can write a thesis on a greater love story in retro I'll paypal you $1,000.

>>5913220
"I lied... I wasn't out of paint. I just feared I would finish the portrait."

>>5913095
Mah fucking nigga

>>5913104
A man of taste I see.
>>5913076
I am a huge fan of ff9, but the love story between Z and G isn't very good.

>>5913076
Durrrrrr imma cut my hair to show I've changed

>>5913076

fags

>>5913261
>>5913220
Only video game love story I've seen that was better than mediocre. Most are just outright trash.

>>5913297
>the love story between Z and G isn't very good.
I agree. It starts off decently enough and ends with a dramatic sentimental scene but everything in between, and there's a whole fucking lot of time in between, is a lot of bland.

>>5913076
Zidane looks retarded. The cgi has not aged well.

>>5913335
Awwww, they're so in love!

>>5913342
It looked weird at the time. It's not the fault of aging CGI, it's that the retard who did FF Crystal Chronicles' character design also did IX. Which is why everything else in the game looks fine.

>>5913395
This. Square misunderstood the outcry people had when they said they missed the expressive chibi graphics after FF8's realistic mannequins, so FF9 just gave us shitty chibi mannequins instead.

>>5913076
not this one

>>5913076
Valkyrie profile, Final fantasy 7,8 were ok(unironically)
Hardly great, but will do in comparison with other retro like bland garnet slapstick and singing with no chemistry whatsoever during journey or any backstory. You could make Garnet a man and it wouldn't change the story much, would be even better.

>>5913076
It's certainly better than FF8's, which bloody advertised itself on its love story.

>>5913694
Squall x Rinoa is so bad it actually wraps around and becomes cute.

well thats a no brainer op

>>5913916
>thot and aspie

Worst love story ever told.

>>5913076
I hate the shotagay look they went with for Zidane.

Splatterhouse. He goes through hell to save his girlfriend.

i cant believe i mastered this pos as a kid.
give me anything Robin Hood and i'm sold

>>5913220
mah nigga!

>>5913076
Super Robot Wars Alpha adapts the greatest love story ever told.

>>5913681
>Valkyrie profile

Lenneth is an autistic bitch and Lucian is a literally whom'st've

>>5913076
this one

>>5914661
P U R I T Y

Chrono Trigger

>>5913220
Cringe and brainlet. Everybody that agrees will be forever incels
>>5913327
But that how women actually works.
>>5913681
>>5913681
FF 8 was a great game about growing up and Squall/Rinoa had some amazing moments. Also in Valk profile, the love story isn't about Lucian dummy. It's all about our CHAD Lezard Valeth and Lenneth Valkyrie.

Also to add my own favorite love story, Chrono Cross' Harle - Linx/Serge - Kid was a hard decision

>>5915162
>>5914584
Meant to tag this one*

>>5913076
Tenchu 2
MGS otakon ending

>>5913117
This. Notwithstanding The Curse of Monkey Island which ultimately ruined it, of course.

Revan and Bastila Shan. Dark side Bastila makes my Y-Fronts dance

The Hero and Erana from the Quest for Glory games.

>>5915162
>Harle - Linx/Serge
How is that a love story? Harle is just the hidden dragon manipulating Fate.

>My name...?
>*stares at dagger intensely fir several minutes*
>Garnet! My name is Garnet.

>>5913113
Lufia 1 actually is a very cute little love story, shame it's a miserable grindfest

>>5913095

Most Lunar fans I've ever seen in a /vr/ thread at once

>>5913076
>What is the greatest love story in retro games?
I really REALLY love ALttP.

>>5913076

>>5913113
Relatively speaking, His love for his sword is the best love story in that game, yes.

>>5913117
What about a computer game that spent 3 million dollars in voice actors?

Nothing makings a /vr/ love story better than when it's game uses it Push the player into a vengeful rage

>>5916053
Andy really does care, he just is on training wheels while Mai keeps revving the engine on her luxury car.

Anyone else start to check out of a game once a love plot gets introduced?

Like great time to step away from the story to do the same tired cliche romance. Give it a fucking rest already

>>5915470
You get that moment when Harle asks you if you would choose Her or the World, after that you have that melancholic and beautiful scene in the boat with Starky. Also one of the alt endings show you having a fruitful life with her fixing Marbule.

>>5916391
You're reading way too much into it. Harle is a lying whore who isn't above killing children to get her hands on the flame that only some weirdo with a clown fetish would like.

>>5913220
A shit

>>5914437
A cunt

>>5916309
I actually get more interested in a game the more things they introduce.

>>5914045
That's just how Amano draws faces.

>>5915162
>>5916660
*yawn
like i said, come up with a thesis and you'll get $1k, until then its objectively xenogears.
next.

lunar silver star

alex becomes a dragonmaster
luna turns out to be a goddess

it's cliche yet done really well.

>>5914045
he was always shota

>>5917072
A shit AND a cunt.

>>5917052
Only when he wants

>>5919393
>look guys i use teh meme speak!!1!
if you're not here to discuss anything on topic go back to /v/

>>5920064
A cunty and shitty effort that calls itself a game.

Mother.

>>5914101

Ah god that reminded me of the fact that you could rescue a princess in Defender of the Crown and like see her portrait or something and she was hot. And then you probably married her? I don't remember. Anyway that's a pretty good love story I guess.

>>5913395

He didn't mess them all up. Steiner looks exaggerated in a charming way. Vivi is adorable. It's more the "normal" characters that look ugly. And the furries of course, furries are always ugly. Zidane falls into both those categories of course. Too bad for him.
