You already have FFX on there, but I might add Squall and Rinoa from FF8. I was a teenager when I completed that game, and I thought the love story and outsized emotions were great!

EDIT: Great list, BTW!

I thought the romances in FF VIII and FFX were pretty ridiculous myself.

But I'm not gonna lie, I loved the romance in the Lunar games. I remember when I first played the PS1 version of Silver Star, I had read reviews by fans gushing about "the boat song." I rolled my eyes at the time but later became hooked on the song and really got into Alex and Luna's relationship.
I also really liked how Eternal Blue adds an epilogue which I felt made things more interesting.

THEN AGAIN, I HAVEN'T PLAYED THOSE GAMES SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER SO I'M NOT SURE HOW WELL THEY HOLD UP!

I would be remiss not to bring up Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Tragic, poignant, and they speak to the player on a purely emotional level.

+James Sunderland's story in Silent Hill 2
/edgy. Nonetheless I do feel that those two are the most compelling and well written love related storylines in the video games I've played. I really don't see anything special at all in the love stories of Final Fantasy games. I liked the writing in RDR but somehow I didn't see anythign special in the relationship of John and Abigail. Shadow of the Colossus is ok (kinda similiar to SH2 in ways) and mentioning Monkey Island is just silly;basically notting happens in the first two games and suddenly they inexplicably decide to get married at the start of the third game. I did like this scene though (words to live by )

Splatterhouse. You know you got a good boyfriend when he puts on a demonic mask and fights through the legions of hell to save you.

Naomi and otacon.

Knights of Xentar was a beautiful love story.

Thank goodness for leaving off Aeris and Cloud. FFVII is finally starting to fall into oblivion, where it belongs.
