WrightxMaya/EdgeworthxKay/ApolloxTrucy/WrightxKokone/ApolloxKokone (Ace Attorney)I just don't see why they have to have any kind of romantic feelings towards each other. In terms of Phoenix and Maya, I think they have a really strong bond of trust. Which, to me, doesn't automatically equal love. Edgeworth and Kay have no chemistry going on, period. As for Apollo and Trucy, aside from the obvious, those two barely have anything in common that could somehow build things up.
But I mostly blame that on the rushed GS4 game.
And don't people dare tell me they haven't already thought of Phoenix or Apollo with Kokone!
CloudxAerith (Final Fantasy VII)Okay, where is the proof for this? In the beginning, Aerith flirts a bit with Cloud but only because he reminds her of Zack. She cools down very fast, pretty much once you leave Don Corneo's place. And Cloud barely showed any kind of interest in her. Yeah, he's sad when she dies. That's totally normal! And even if you go for the Golden Saucer date scene with Aerith, I still see nothing concrete enough that makes me think, "Oh yeah, those two are definitely gonna work as a couple!"
And the fortune about Cloud and Aerith marrying, that was just a red herring for players, so it's a giant kick in the nuts when she dies about fourty minutes afterwards. And if you think I don't like this pairing cause I belong in the other camp, look at the next one.
CloudxTifa (Final Fantasy VII)She wants his dick. At least, that's what it mostly seems like to me. Maybe she loves him, but otherwise I see nothing going on between them. Tifa helps Cloud recollect his real memories later on, which I think was her one important role in the game, but otherwise she just is this introverted little bimbo who-Oh god I'm ranting more about her... but she really seems like that, especially in Advent Children.
Anyhow, just because 'Claerith' didn't happen, I don't see any reason why 'Clifa' should happen. And like I said, I see no real hint for it, other than Tifa obviously liking Cloud. Does Cloud like her? I don't think so, he's mostly thinking about Sephiroth.
LloydxCollet (Tales of Symphonia)Oh look,
Child hood friends Oh my god, they must totally be in love with each other! Look, Lloyd is oblivious to love and Collet is..... Collet. I don't think those two could ever fully go into love mode, even if they somehow entered a relationship with each other. And I really don't think those two have much going on for each other. Except, maybe, both of them being freaking hypocrites - Lloyd talks about everyone having a right to live and yet he's slaughtering people left, right and center and Collet rants that sacrificing yourself is wrong but
she will do it at the drop of a hat.
ClessxMint (Tales of Phantasia).....I don't see it on Cless' side. Yeah, he says she's cute. That's it.
And Mint is completely focused on Cless, asking if he's alright,
in the middle of a war with dozens of people around her, severely injured. She's doing such a good job of being a healer! Anyhow, neither of them had too much personality in the game, they were the typically good heroes, and it was the first Tales game and they didn't put too much into each character.
LukexTear (Tales of the Abyss)This pairing definitely cannot exist. At least, it can't and won't ever work. Just looking at the scenes the game continuously shoved down my throat between Luke and Tear constantly proved to me that those two are way too awkward with each other and won't ever be able to advance past that stage. They didn't even advance past that stage in the game!
And I'm gonna say it, I don't think Luke feels any kind of romantic love for Tear, he feels
familiarity towards her. He was thrown into the open world, which he knew nothing of, was way in over his head and the only person who was there at that time was Tear. Of course he'll feel a bit calmer, knowing that someone is in the same shit situation than him.
And I especially hate it when people say this is the best Tales Of couple ever!
EmilxMartha (Knight of Ratatosk)....these two are already copies of two of Collet's character - the overly hyperactive-happy one and the constantly apologetic one. And it's absolutely shown clearly in the game that Martha doesn't like Emil, but just idolizes him. Sure she later says she's starting to see who he really is, but at the same time, Emil is trying to change to live up to Martha's vision. Does Emil change? Probably, but so subtely, it goes completely over the head and I can't even cheer for him. And Martha, until the end of the game, is all, "I like you, Emil! Ah but also the other one, no wait, maybe I don't like him. Ah, that's not to say I don't like YOU, Emil! Eh... I'm so confused..." And that supposed "Best" Ending is freaking stupid and pointless. I felt more love between fuck-what-we-said-earlier-Destiny-2-ending.
LinkxZelda (Legend of Zelda - Any Incarnation)Typical Knight and Princess couple. It doesn't have to happen and it's too cliché, it's so stupid. And I have seen no chemistry or even a hint going on in any of the Zelda games. The only where something happens is in Zelda II and that was just for that game. (Don't mention Skyward, I will tell you how shit any hint of a relationship is in that game!)
Look, just cause he's the guy who saves the world and she's the damn princess doesn't mean something's gotta happen. I admit, I had ideas about TP Zelda and Link, but not for very long. Mostly that was cause I liked TP Zelda so much myself... she's so awesome...
I'm sure there are more, but I can't remember any right now.
