We will never see drama and love stories like the good old days ever again, huh?
>>744713423Mentally ill shipperfags will literally firebomb studios if their crackships aren't made 100% canon, so nowadays most storytellers axe any-and-all romance from plots.
considering lunar 'fans' are some of the most zealous, troonslator defending fags on the internet, good riddance
>>744713840Doesn't need to be lunar, almost every game back then had traditional love stories that you just don't see much nowadays anymore. The man saves the girl and the girl falls in love.We need to go back to that
>>744714231but where does the independent woman who don't need no man come in?
>>744714459Needs to be abolishedWomen are weak and need a strong man
>>744713423>hetero romanceDisgusting and no longer realistic
>>744714834Stop being gay then
>>744713423Lunar was such a charming, earnest, pure adventure. People today would just dismiss it as too safe and boring, because they've been poisoned by their own sad cynicism.It's also sadly become quite rare to have every party member paired off with their own canon love interest
>>744714939>People today would just dismiss it as too safe and boringPeople have been dismissing it as boring for 20 years, it's the primary reason cited by WD defenders as to why making everything up is good, actually
Love stories are dead
>>744713423only girlbosses and strong and independent women.
>>744715783Sad
I think an unironic reason games lack romantic plots, primary focus or not, is the reason Dandylion gave as to why they didn't include romance in Troubleshooter; nobody has any experience in it and can't write it wellMost of the noteworthy 'video game romance' games were all made by middle aged men who had lived a well rounded life, but these days video games are often made by video gamers, the least creative and imaginative people on the planet
>>744716369I blame women for that
>>744716547Thank you for perpetuating another generation of bad game developing
Why do people want romance in video games? Either it's a shallow "click the right dialogue options to initiate a make out scene" or it's entirely story fluff lacking any player agency and a distraction from the actual game. I mean, just try to name a game that was actually better off for having romance.
>>744714459she's the old hag with the crystal ball that tells you where to go next
>>744716656Games with stories are better for having romance in them for the audience that wants romance on the basis of the fact that stories are better for having romance in them for the same audience. It's also just really weird and jarring for anyone that isn't an asexual zoomer for people to be close and spend time together and not at least explore their romantic possibilities.
Nowadays it's either ugly stronk women from the west or goonbait from the east, no romance allowed
>>744716656>I mean, just try to name a game that was actually better off for having romance.Tokimeki Memorial did it so well it spawned an entire subgenre.
>>744716656Just posted here>>744715336People actually loved the romance in X
>>744716872romance is offensive to most women because they're too old or run through to have any of it. they're locked into the bad ending of dying alone with cats and their best approximation of romance is just fucking on the first date hoping he's desperate enough to stick around for a little bit for her haunted barren womb.most game devs are women so anything made at their studio will be passed through a cuntoid filter
>>744717165Women that shouldn't be there in the first place
>>744713840there's literally nothing wrong with that
This game was the OG Skyrim, they re-released and remade it so fucking much.
>>744718414The psp one was shitComplete was the best one
Best pair
>>744713840if the original script sucks then it's okay to troonslate it
>>744713423People demand choice on who they marry, and so it's not really possible to fully integrate it into the story. It's always the tension at play for games.
>>744718414FFIV is the OG Lunar
>>744719615Because most of them can't play games without seeing themselves in the MC
