Default Romance?

I dont know what it is about Final Fantasy games but they can make the most cliche love story and make it so it doesnt seem extremly lame, probably because the romantic scenes are often interupted by explosions.

However this game seems alot more actiony so could there be a possibility of no romance? just a "its time the save the world again" story?

Well i dont think a romance on XIII would be all that great, usally when theres ay least one strong female lead it doesnt go to good in romance storlines *coughcoughX-2cough* but i would mind seeing romance in Versus

Well, the second choose is kind of undermining my already small intelligence soooo I go with that one!

Personally I rather not have romance play much if any part of the story. It hinders the game more often then not. I liked the aspect of family made most popular in FF: Tactics(also in FFV) over the badly played out love scenes between characters that had no interest in one another for 20 hours straight. Plus the elements of family adds comfort to the characters more then a simple love interest.

I think that there should be some romance in XIII. But as for FFVXIII I think that there should be a little tiny love interest, but nothing major. There just won't be time with all the action that's going to be in that game.

It's not that I want to disagree with you, I just feel that way. But who knows it might be the other way around... for what you said or for what I said I don't know.

Versus need it. In all that dark theme he need someone.

XIII would be different, now nothing against the ladyes around here, but it will feel pretty fooky if she saves him. (I mean as she save one guy, not the entire party, that would be cool.) Unless they make something really fun out of it. But if she is a "strong female lead" does she need anyone?

Maybe she will be the kind of person that thinks they dont need anyone...comes across a guy (or girl...interesting idea ) then has feelings for them although shes persuaded herself she doesnt need anyone. Happens in animes all the time.

All the interviews, rumours and magazine articles seem to mould into one when you setup a fansite soo I'm not sure if this is right . I read that Versus was going to be a complete tragedy which was supposed to leave you crying. That sounds like it could be involving romance

God I hope not. I don't need to play through a game where the main character is blinded by lost love and rage on a path of revenge, again!

I am expecting them to do something new. Not redo the old.

Someone important is going to die. Main Characters/ Hero's love interest have been killed off before.

there has to be some kind of romance between some of the main characters, other wise it wont seem like FF. And if there is a romance in there somewhere I just hope they dont blow it up to massive proportions like they did with FFX, because the second choice on the poll, is also a good answer.

explosions and stuff = win

I chose the first option in the poll but I would say that it doesn't make the game great just helps it out a little.

I don't think either that the FFXIII will contain much romance.. or I don't know, i don't know what plans Square has for this game. But when dragging conclusions from the game's trailer, I don't really think romance is a big part of the game. It looks much more like action, vengeance, power, force etc. If it would contain romance then it would somehow be similar to FFX,8 and 10-2. Those games include very much romance.

If you remember the early trailers for FFVIII and X, neither of them had much inclination towards the romantic side of the storyline, yet both the games leaned heavily towards the romance when they were brought out.

the trouble with early trailers is they just dont show enough goddammit

Maybe you are right, the trailer doesn't show from the very beginning what the game is going to include. But, you can't say that the game includes romance by this trailer, maybe they'll do another one which will include much more romance. I really hate when it comes out too little information and we have to drag our own conclusions about everything...
Do you think it will include romance?^ ^

What happened to games that includes romance but only if you sought it out? That would simply appease the people that enjoy the badly written excuse of dialog used to express love in most FF's. Whenever a character is driven by romance they become so one-dimensional.

I think that romance will have a very small part in the story .And if there won't be any fans will make it out, like they have done before with RikkuXTidus, TifaXReno and more.
The idea of influencing certain feelings with your actions and decisions seams fair to me...
