Ah man, this brings back memories.Watching the movie with Jenny in The Darkness.
Low-key but impactful.
Yes! Someone posted Odin Sphere! These two have the sweetest love story. I think Cornelius has a line in this scene about how all he wants to do is bring joy to her life. That line really stuck with me for some reason, it's honestly something I think about when considering my actions in my own romantic relationship.Fairy Tale type stuff.
The other couple in Odin Sphere is really good as well. How she literally travels into hell to save him T_T
User Banned (3 Months): Homophobia, Previously Banned for Dismissing Bigotry
I honestly believe Squareenix is going a little too far with that whole ffvii scene. I am not really a fan of that and I do know it was kinda present on ps1 version, but not this graphical.

Edit: before the sharks eat me, I am not homofobic at all, in fact some of my best friends are homosexual. Just in case.

have melt my scene the past months. It really make me a believer of this ship and root them very hard.
AI: The Somnium Files has a romantic scene (*) which I really like, too.
(*) Maybe debatable.

FFX. First time romance came alive through a video game for me. I will admit that replaying the game years later doesn't really sell the entire relationship angle between Tidus and Yuna, as I think the time from when they first become intimate to when the game ends is very short, especially when the illusion of how long the game is intended to appear to a first-time player is broken when you're replaying it for the nth time.
But I do think the tragic story of a would-be fallen summoner who the main character and all of your companions love is very touching, especially when your character manages to share some of the more heart-felt moments with Yuna.
That moment when Tidus is embraced by Yuna only to walk through her has me weep to this day.

My favorite couple of the past two generations. Welkin and Alicia are both such a fantastic character that I was rooting for them the entire game.
Yes! Such a wonderful payoff after working so hard to bring Crono back.
I am entirely FOR lean-in square enix.
Whole game consummated in this one moment.

Literally.
This scene was lovely indeed.
The hell they suffered for almost 10000 years was worth to they have this intimate moment.
Why? It makes the crazy shippers happy, and Cloud still looks like he's uncomfortable. Square somehow managed to keep that whole bit without offending anyone it seems
I guess I'm fine with it as long as its handled well. The game is meant to expand upon the original anyway and the original version was so much more problematic than what we've seen of it so far. Worst case scenario would be cutting it all together which I honestly suspected they might for a while
You know, the whole "I'm not homophobic, I have gay friends!" defense doesn't really stand when you're giving off homophobic vibes. Why exactly do you think this is going too far?
I believe its going too far because this scene was never used for marketing purposes on the original ffvii game as far as I know, it was just there as some side weird japanesse stuff that most JRPG have to some extent (like the whole underaged/lolita female characters in bikini escenarios or side-quests that some JRPGs have) and the game not being very graphical at that time also helped, but now they are going the extra mile to extensively include it in a pre launch trailer and dedicating a lot of time to it, when this scene isn't what FFVII was known for, Cloud was never shown in this way before, I just think its off character and not necessary, there are other stuff they can add to the game that would add more to FFVII's story.
The most romantic gaming moment is from Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's from the epilogue and I don't wan to spoil it for those who haven't played through. There's nothing better in any game.
One of the final missions in Epilogue 2 when John takes Abigail out on a series of silly dates and then proposes to her in the boat. In the final scenes they formally get married. It's very heartwarming especially because you've seen this romantic journey 3rd hand from Arthur's perspective throughout the game, and then John really matures throughout the story enough to not make his son a bastard anymore.
And then this mission ends with:
For those who played RDR1, you'll recognize that this is John staring up at the iconic tree that he's buried near, along with Abigail, with how that game ends. It's all sad in it's own way.

Ar Tonelico 2: Croix and Jacqli's True Ending (that fucking song)
Chrono Trigger: Crono and Marle at Death Mountain Peak
Infinite Undiscovery: Capel and Aya Moment. As much as the game sucked the sexual tension between these two woo boy.

I like the evolution of sheapard and liaras romance throughout the mass effect trilogy. And i like sheapard and mirandas a lot too. Miranda is a tragic figure, she basically spent her life being used by people, used by cerberus, by her father. It hits home in mass effect 3 if you break up with her the first time you meet her on the citadel. She starts crying and it makes you feel like such a dick. I just did that in me3 to pursue my relationship with liara from mass effect 1 and it made me feel like dirt irl. Miranda deserves better
To me it's probably Shepard's bromance date with Garrus on the citadel, when Shepard decided to miss the shot.
This.
Or the one in Kiwami 2...
God, the story of Yakuza 0 is so good. My favourite in the series hands down.
Edit: Gotta agree with those saying Odin Sphere. It also had a ton of good scenes. Same with The Darkness.

Hmmm not sure it's a good idea for yourself to use the "I can't be homofobic, my best friends are homosexual" card
Came to post...
The entire Tempest scene and subsequent scene on the street after the play is an incredibly beautiful sequence. One of my favourite moments in any game.
Banging a prostitute through our clothes in the back of a ford f150 from Ride to Hell Retribution
The ending of Lunar: Eternal Blue was very romantic.
Too bad the cutscenes in the remake dont look as good as the original ones.
Incidentally, what's the best version of this game to play? Is the PS1 good enough to settle with?
Man I think all of the most memorable ones for me are Square games.
The endings to FFX and FF9. FF9 was like pure happiness, FFX definitely pulled at your heartstrings. When Marle and Crono reunite, though I that one doesn't hit as hard as FF9 and FFX. And Kairi and Sora in KH1 was pretty sweet but again not as great as the FF games.

Yo I was going to say the same thing. Wonderful stuff.
I had another idea, the end sequence in To The Moon is both romantic and utterly heart wrenching.
Death Stranding had actually a good dose of emotional material and I found all the main characters (excluding the main villain) to have worthwhile stories.
As for most impactful romantic moments:
I was in my teens playing FF7 and FF8 so I was the perfect audience to receive it.
