Ship Tease/Video Games

"Jaina: [sobs]
 * Tales of Symphonia's creators probably knew that that shipping was inevitable, so they made Relationship Values lead to Multiple Endings. Despite this, there are still scenes that favour the two main female leads more than the others; with the most blatant example being a skit that occurs in Welgaia between Lloyd and Sheena. When someone other than Colette or Sheena is your closest party member, the cutscenes are generally nonromantic, exploring various other types of relationships such as admiration and friendship; but a lot of people seemed to think they were all love options. In the sequel, the Raine and Presea options are promoted to full romantic levels.
 * It helps that Presea looks like a young girl around Genis' age, and Raine is Lloyd's teacher. The Genis/Presea and Regal/Presea ships often get teased; when Zelos suggests that Presea could fall in love with a much older man around Regal's age, Genis gets very defensive.
 * A lot of people also consider Zelos the closest thing this game has to a Gay Option due to how...friendly he is with Lloyd. Overall, Zelos seems to be the most shipped character, being paired off with everyone, male or female.
 * Tales of Vesperia, despite never really focusing on romance, does have a lot of fun teasing the fans. Yuri and Judith are openly flirtatious, Yuri goes to great lengths to save Estelle, Karol keeps trying to impress Nan while Nan is very clearly hoping he does (Nan's dialogue when Karol fights her in the Colosseum is also very revealing; and it's implied in the credits they eventually end up with each other), Judith keeps telling the other girls they look cute...and then there's Rita and Estelle's very, very close friendship.
 * Yuri and Flynn are also close, close friends. Close, close..."friends."
 * There's even a skit where Judith asks everyone about their ideal romantic partner -- Estelle starts waxing lyrical about romance novels, Karol describes someone who sounds suspiciously like Nan, and everyone else just says they want someone who isn't like Raven.
 * Tales of Graces has Asbel and Sophie. Seven years before the game's events, they start by vowing to protect each other. Then after they reunite seven years later, there is a scene that has Asbel kneeling in front of Sophie, letting out his regrets for his failing her. Then, after Sophie regained her memories they have a date have a little chit-chat at the place where they first met. And remember the 125th entry of The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Cliches, "If any character in the game ever meets any other character standing alone at night looking at the moon, those two will eventually fall in love"? Despite this, Asbel still ends up with Cheria, his childhood friend. this is justified because  Doesn't stop the shippers, though.
 * Up to Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2, most people think that could never get along, as almost every appearance they have, they're usually enemies/rivals. The sequel Original Generation Gaiden gives them a chance to fight under one banner, and gives them a subplot that might have linked them together romantically, where the latter feels indebted to the former for saving her life. The end of the story also adds, in attempt to find his own paradise (on  suggestion), promises to tell her first if he ever finds one. Awww...!
 * The game also adds up the teasing about pairing him and . There has been a lot of older men/little girl fan pairings in SRW, and both of them traveling together in Original Generation Gaiden all the time attracted the attention of Lolicon fans, viewing them as a pair (it helps that just happens to be ). It's also supported with the way she states before their departure: "I may be the only one who understands him". Fortunately all these haven't produced some sort of Die for Our Ship phenomenons for either girl.
 * It's perhaps become official: their appearance in Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier EXCEED ascends them both to Battle Couple status.
 * Speaking of Lolicon pairing, the heavyweight champion of the lolicon fan pairing in SRW's undoubtedly the Super Robot Wars Alpha series' Zonvolt and Irui Gan Eden. It has spawned tons of pairing fan arts, a surprising amount of it non-romantic (or squicky, for that matter).
 * Hilariously, Ibis Douglas and Irui are infinitely more canon (what with their ) but don't see half the fanart the Sanger/Irui pairing has. This probably says something about the fandom.
 * A slight Ship Tease is currently present in Ryusei Date and Mai Kobayasahi, following their new Combination Attack in Original Generation Gaiden, although it's somewhat odd when Latooni Subota is the one who came up with the attack, as Latooni also has a deep-seated, one-sided crush for Ryusei since OG1, and she's been around longer than Mai. Fortunately, the fandom hasn't produced a similar Die for Our Ship instance like, and neither sides of the tease can claim a victory.
 * Considering that Mai and Latooni then go to watch anime together, they simply get along too well for Die for Our Ship to spawn.
 * Guilty Gear teased the Ky/Jam with artwork, special intros and stuff. Accent Core Plus now teases, surprisingly, Ky/Dizzy.
 * Guilty Gear 2: Overture drops loads of hints the Ky/Dizzy pairing has become official.
 * There was also a fair bit of teasing between Bridget and both Dizzy and May in XX.
 * There's also some ship tease between Bridget and Jam, including her actually flirting with him and her Accent Core Plus ending being to hire him to work in her restaurant, which he seems happy to do.
 * The Foe Yay Ship Tease between Sol and Ky.
 * Stealth game Tenchu made some massive teasing about the two protagonists, Rikimaru and Ayame, most notably during the intro of the Wrath of Heaven episode.
 * And then they sunk the ship really bad in the ending of "Shadow Assassins".
 * Mortal Kombat used this massively between Sub-Zero and Sareena, even going up to a Love Triangle-like tease by adding a little subtext with Noob Saibot, Sub-Zero's older brother who was the original Sub-Zero.
 * The first Disgaea has a bit of this between Laharl and Etna. Especially if you read Etna's journal.
 * Also teased is Laharl and Flonne, though whether all the talk of love ever moves into romantic love or not is left up in the air. Still, considering that he was willing to, it would be hard not to believe that there is something between them.
 * One ending of the third game has Etna and Flonne both wanting to pretend to be the mother of his baby.
 * In Warcraft, the strong alliance between Thrall and Jaina Proudmoore has raised some... interesting stuff going on between those two. The White Gnomeregan Punch Card also contains "Thrall and Jaina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." (in binary, but still), and Jaina happens to resemble Thrall's . World of Warcraft even gives them nearly identical character models.
 * As of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Thrall has met a nice lady named Aggra, and Chris Metzen confirmed them to be mates at Blizzcon. (Chris Metzen despised the incredibly popular Thrall/Jaina ship and seemingly invented Aggra just for the purpose of making Thrall committed and has even gone on to say "Thrall/Jaina will never happen. EVER!")
 * Varian Wrynn and Jaina Proudmoore get a bit too, particularly in Icecrown Citadel after his Pet the Dog moment toward Saurfang the Elder.

Varian: Jaina...Why are you crying?

Jaina: [sniffle] It was nothing, your Majesty...Just..I'm proud of my king."

""Zero, I'm happy that I could meet you...if it were not for you, everyone would be gone by now...Promise me that you will come back alive. Even if you cannot destroy Neo Arcadia, I just want you to be able to return safely.""
 * It helps that he grew up as the best friend/near-brother of her only past lover and retains a lot of similarities, while she looks scarily like his dead wife and acts as a sort of surrogate mother to his son.
 * Final Fantasy VII's first disc is full of all sorts of Ship Tease, including a micro-dating sim where one of the three girls (and Barret) can go on a date with Cloud. Excellent examples are Cloud's and Tifa's promise under the stars scene in the beginning of the game, the Bodyguard for a Date deal, Cait Sith's 'love prediction' about Cloud and Aerith's happy future together, and Yuffie kissing Cloud during the Gondola ride. It even has instances of Ship Tease with random male characters, like Mukki, Don Corneo, and the ability to date party member Barret.
 * Kingdom Hearts II. Full stop. Hilarious given that it's a No Hugging, No Kissing game - Nomura (and Nojima) are screwing with us all, and the shipper wars they have given birth to are incredible to behold.
 * The most famous and cited instance of teasing occurs when In context though it's Not What It Looks Like.
 * There's the numerous scenes between Kairi and Sora. At one point Sora imagines himself dancing with her, and towards the end they share a heartfelt hug.
 * The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess did its share of Ship Teasing. Between the little come-back-safely speech Ilia gives to Link (complete with appropriate music swelling in the background), the hand-holding scene between Link and Zelda before the final battle, and the heartstring-tugging farewell by in which she almost says something emotional to Link, the shippers had a field day...especially considering that Link's a Heroic Mime with no dialogue to offer clues.
 * The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks is dripping with this for Link and Zelda.
 * The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword also seems to be heading in the Link/Zelda direction, to the point of an official trailer detailing their romantic chemistry. They even somewhat trick shippers into thinking a kiss is a part of a ceremony.
 * The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was the game that first got the shippers into a frenzy:
 * Nabooru's "Promise" to Young Link, which gets a sight less ambiguous when she muses that she should have kept it in light of how handsome he grew up to be.
 * Talon asking Link if he wants to marry Malon and the Gossip Stone which says she wishes for a knight in shining armor to sweep her off her feet.
 * Both of Saria's goodbyes to Link.
 * Ruto actually getting engaged to Link, the scene in which it happens dripping with subtext.
 * There tends to be an underlying vibe to any scene with Link and Zelda in it, and he's shown (and implied via dialogue) to be quite motivated to protect her. In particular, there's a great deal of unspoken emotion in their last scene together, to be interpreted as the player wills.
 * Solid Snake's codec transmissions regarding Samus Aran in Super Smash Bros Brawl could be regarded as a form of Ship Tease, since it's all one-sided and we have no way of knowing how Samus feels about the matter. That hasn't stopped them from becoming the game's resident One True Pairing...though the pairing's support has less to do with any perceived teasing and more to do with how their combined sex appeal is dense enough to create a singularity.
 * Interestingly enough, Gears of War 2 has some of this between Marcus and Anya, such as the way Anya asks him to take care of himself when he descends into the Hollow, and Marcus calling repeatedly over the radio at the end to see if Anya is okay, and looking extremely relieved when he spots her on the next Raven helicopter.
 * The first game kind of hinted at an old relationship when they meet up briefly at the start of the game. You never saw her again, so nothing more came of it.
 * In Final Fantasy X, Tidus and Auron seemed to flirt a bit in Luca during Auron's reappearance. Between Auron saying things like "Come or don't come. It's your decision," and Tidus assuming the position shortly thereafter, the UST was palpable. 6:15 and 6:38-7:00.
 * Depending on your affection rating, you can have Tidus outright tell Lulu or Rikku that he would rather have them in Guadosalam.
 * Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door features Mario getting kissed by each of his female party members (we're assuming that Vivian is female) and no less than four times by Ms. Mowz (which makes Goombella jealous). Vivian almost makes a love confession to Mario in the ending, but decides that he and Peach would be a good couple, and Goombella is about to tell Mario something she hadn't been able to express to him before in her last email, but decides to save it for later. Peach has an almost romantic bond with TEC, especially when educating him about human feelings, and by the time.
 * Super Paper Mario is a gigantic ship tease for Bowser/Peach fans. They get married in the opening and Bowser constantly declares his love for her throughout the game. Then there's the scene near the end  Their marriage is never really annulled either.
 * After Heavy/Medic grew to prominence amongst Team Fortress 2 fans, hints about their relationship began to be sprinkled about the various supplementary material, such as the Sniper's "Beaux and Arrows" achievement (kill a Heavy/Medic pair) and their strangely intimate interactions during open-heart surgery in the "Meet the Medic" video. Though, the WAR update attempted to torpedo it with the Demoman's Medic-specific taunt that suggests the Medic is married.
 * Spy/Sniper fans take some of their domination taunts and achievements as ship teasing. But then again, this is the Spy and the Sniper.
 * Sniper/Medic fans take the Sniper's "charge me" voice clips as Ship Teasing.
 * Yaoi Fangirls went Squee when Valve started releasing information leading up to the WAR update. Until the Mac Update shipped, the loadup screen featured the BLU Soldier and the RED Demoman butting heads and glaring at each other very intensely.
 * Prior to the 2011 Australian Christmas update, the Pyro and Engineer got a comic together.
 * Fire Emblem lets you control the amount of Ship Tease in your game with its support conversations. Starting with the sixth game, each character has 3-7 characters they're compatible with and the ones of the opposite sex can be love interests (the same-sex choices can be regular friendships though you're free to see it another way). The conversations for Support Levels C and B are the cute Ship Tease ones with 95% of the A level conversations being the actual declaration of love. For some games, this can actually affect the ending; in Radiant Dawn, for example, certain characters will get married at the end if they share an A-level Support.
 * Blazing Sword goes even further with this for the Lord characters. While Eliwood, Lyn, and Hector have several romantic options each, Ninian is canonically in love with Eliwood no matter what supports you choose, and you get a special ending where she stays with him at the end. Hector, meanwhile, gets numerous scenes alone with Lyn in Hector Mode, including two special conversations towards the end that can only be unlocked if they have A support. Neither of his other two love interests get equivalent scenes.
 * The romantic interactions with Samara in Mass Effect 2 seem to be going somewhere, but then she pulls away when you are about to kiss her, and the relationship ends up going nowhere.
 * Shiala, if she survives Mass Effect, comes back in the sequel and is visibly attracted to Shepard, but nothing comes out of it.
 * In Mass Effect 3, James Vega flirts with a female Shepard, but it never goes further than that.
 * Tali gets flustered around a female Shepard, but she is only a romance option for male Shepard.
 * It's a matter of cut content rather than Ship Tease, but the fact the sheer amount of interaction with Bishop and Neeshka in Neverwinter Nights 2 that never goes anywhere is infuriating...Neeshka's influence goes down whenever you agree with another girl for instance.
 * Some dialogue with Kaelyn in Mask of the Betrayer could potentially be interpreted as this, but not blatantly.
 * In Knights of the Old Republic 2, if a male player character tells Mira that they just want to get to know her better, her immediate assumption is that he wants to get her into bed. Her immediate refusal ruins it, though.
 * Pokémon, of all RPGs, had a ship tease, in the fourth generation. One of the villain team's commanders says, "So what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue?", in a scene where you are with one of your rivals, the one that is the opposite gender's playable character.
 * Playing as May, the female character, in Pokémon Emerald, Brendan will state how he saw a Pokemon, Rayquaza, and wish you were there to see it with him.
 * The Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, offer two instances, one intentional and one with severely Unfortunate Implications. The intentional occasion takes place when the player reaches the day care couple for the first time and are greeted by either Gold/Ethan or Lyra (depending on player gender) after a brief conversation, their grandfather will comment about them having a crush on thje player character. Naturally they'll force their grandparents to change the topic then run out in embarrassment. The unintentional instance occurs when trying to infiltrate Team Rocket's radio tower in disguise only for Silver (the rival) to run in and forcefully strip the player character. Granted he's only trying to remove the Rocket uniform since he despises the organization and can't see his rival among their ranks, still this scene alone has managed to generate hundreds of Silver/Lyra and Silver/Gold drawings.
 * The scene in HeartGold where resident Memetic Sex Goddess Cynthia mentions that your eyes remind her of someone from Sinnoh.
 * In Pokémon Black and White, there is a ferris wheel on which you ride with a different NPC each season. The NPC choices vary with gender (including one that is your own gender), and the conversations on the ride are loaded with Double Entendres. Oh, and
 * N's dialogue toward the player can be taken as very ship-teasing as well, if in a Stalker with a Crush way.
 * Pokémon Colosseum has Eagun, an Old Master who started off with a Pikachu. His granddaughter bears a rather striking resemblence to Misty. A possible nod to the anime, perhaps?
 * Pokémon Ranger does this. Quite a bit, actually. For Ranger Shipping (Solana x Lunick) fans, you've got not only the various little hints throughout the game, you've also got the Groudon mission. Same with the Kyogre mission for Solana/Lunick x Aria fans. Guardian Signs dabbles in a bit of Oblivia Shipping (Ben x Summer) too. And Shadows of Almia has a bit of Ranger School Shipping (Kate x Keith and Kellyn x Keith) too.
 * Silent Hill 2 has its own expectedly horrible contributions to the trope with James, a surly individual who travelled to the eponymous town to search for his dead wife, and Maria, an extremely flirtatious and slightly Tsundere woman who reminds James of aforementioned dead wife. For a while it seems as if the two will enter a Replacement Goldfish- esque relationship, but turns out that not only is . Slap Slap Kiss it isn't.
 * Then there's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, where Cheryl recounts the adventures of her daddy, whom she loves very, very much.
 * Mega Man X fans have shipped X/Zero ever since its first game, citing Zero's Heroic Sacrifice for X and the latter's desire for Zero to be the one to kill him should X go rogue as proof. There's also the (optional) reunion cutscene in X6 in which X looks a bit too enthusiastic (to the point of blushing) when he sees Zero alive and well.
 * Mega Man Zero has various moments of Ship Tease between Zero (yes, that Zero) and Ciel (who's human, by the way), not only during the series' run, but in the accompanying materials as well. Amongst many, there's this little piece of dialogue before the end of the first game:
 * Mega Man Zero has various moments of Ship Tease between Zero (yes, that Zero) and Ciel (who's human, by the way), not only during the series' run, but in the accompanying materials as well. Amongst many, there's this little piece of dialogue before the end of the first game:

""I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero...I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate...If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it! Ciel, believe in me!""
 * And another, from Zero's very famous World of Cardboard Speech

"Balthier: No one knows men like Fran does.
 * The entire lyric sang by Rie Tanaka, Ciel's seiyuu herself, in the song Freesia, in Remastered Rockman Zero Soundtracks PHYSIS depicts Ciel's love for Zero.
 * For a series that tends to avoid the topic of relationships in the games (except for Amy, who is...rather clingy and it seems one-sided), Sonic the Hedgehog has been known to ship tease a few times. Knuckles and Rouge in SA2, for starters. Then there's the end of Sonic Rush Series, where Sonic and Blaze are trying to hold on to each other as long as possible before they get separated - Sonic's holding on with both hands. It's as if they're both reluctant to part ways.
 * And then there's Sonic Chronicles. Being a turn-based RPG by Bioware, it's hardly surprising that you can pursue optional dialogues with your various allies. Sonic/Amy is well-supported, Sonic/Rouge is hinted at if you're sarcastic with Amy, but the real tease is Knuckles/Shade towards the end. Knuckles could just be relieved that he's not the Last of His Kind anymore, but it could also be something more specific.
 * Multiple games have nods towards Sonic/Blaze, including Sonic Generations and Sonic and The Black Knight. At this point it's possible both of them are suffering from Cannot Spit It Out.
 * Sonic Unleashed has Sonic feeling depressed after Amy didn't recognize him as a werehog, thinking she mistook him for someone else again.
 * Silver's story in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 is one big Silver Blaze ship tease. Especially the end.
 * Resident Evil. The entire series is filled with Your Mileage May Vary for Ship Teases, though there are a few blatant ones that should probably be listed. RE1, the scene where Jill puts her head on Chris's shoulder. RE2, Leon screaming her name when Ada "dies". RE4, Leon almost blatantly checks out Ada's ass as she's leaving the boat in the cinematic just before you begin playing the island. RE5, Jill tackling Wesker through a window to save Chris, or the fact that you get a game over if you kill Jill in the game.
 * In the closing scene of RE4, Ashley all but invites Leon into her pants; he politely declines.
 * All the ass-staring in Darkside Chronicles.
 * Left 4 Dead 2, brings us The Passing which features Ship Teases for Ellis with Zoey, and Rochelle with Francis. Ellis quickly falls in love with Zoey and she seems to have a crush on him. Francis openly flirts with Rochelle who shows an attraction to him. Although there is that matter of her insulting his vest...
 * Skies of Arcadia:
 * The night before the final battle, Vyse talks to both Aika and Fina and can reassure them one way or another - he can put his arm around Fina's shoulders, and if he says the right thing to Aika, she'll kiss his cheek.
 * On Clara's ship, Aika and Fina wake up in bed together with no apparent awkwardness at all (it's not what it sounds like, to be fair), and when they both mention him to Clara, she promptly assumes they like both him that way.
 * The part where Aika is holding Fina after she's badly injured on Crescent Isle, while Vyse confronts Ramirez. Or the time where Aika glomps Vyse after they're reunited in Daccat's tomb, where Fina hugs Vyse after he Aika, and Glider rescue her from Valua's palace, and where Aika glomps Fina out of sheer happiness in the ending. All of these are about as ship-teasing as the aforementioned scenes.
 * In their cameo appearance in Valkyria Chronicles, Vyse and Aika will call out each other's names if they're killed; also, if they're close enough to provide supporting fire, they can say things like "Let me help, Vyse baby!"
 * It's subtle, but there is a little shipteasing between Balthier and Fran in Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings. When Tomas is trying to woo Fran, she mentions that Balthier's methods were different. You might also count the scene in the Pharos when the Sun Cryst explodes from the original game as rather shippy. Balthier's lines regarding Fran always have some kind of sexual undertone to them (but hey, don't all his lines?)

Balthier: I always knew Fran didn't take well to being tied up. I just never knew how much. How about you?"

"Fran (cupping Balthier's cheek): Hadn't you best be off? That's what a sky pirate does, you fly, don't you?
 * It's a little difficult to call this official artwork, displayed during the end credits of the game, "subtle". This scene is also fairly shippy.

Balthier (holding Fran's hand): I suppose you'd better hang on then."

"Ashe:
 * There's also some Ship Teases for Balthier/Ashe too in the original game. During a scene closer to the end of the game, he seems rather agitated when Al-cid flirts with her, prompting Fran to give him a knowing look. Also, in the scene in which

Balthier:

Ashe:

'''Ashe:"

"Cecil: "You were staring at Light. Is it about her?"
 * Ashe and Basch is also plausible. In the ending, Penelo writes to Larsa, and she tells him how she hopes Basch will see Ashe because she thinks Ashe misses him (which Basch reads after Larsa hands him the letter).
 * In Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, a series of scenes involves Firion trying to approach Lightning to talk to her, only for a string of Moment Killers to scare him off. It turns out he lost his rose and she found it, and he's trying to ask for it back but is embarrassed about the Hot-Blooded rebel having to ask the resident Action Girl for his flower (in his exact words, "a grown man asking for his flower back..."). However, the subtext is very thin, and is complete with Cecil appointing himself Firion's wingman.

Firion: "No, not exactly. I..."

Cecil: "Too shy to start a conversation?"

Firion: "This has nothing to do with being shy!"

Cecil: "Light!"

Firion: "No, don't call her over!""


 * In Final Fantasy VI, Terra gets ship teases with Onion Knight, Cloud and Vaan. Vaan and Onion Knight appoint themselves her protectors, worrying about her safety and councilling her on following her heart to find out what she truly wants. Cloud meanwhile waxes poetic with her about their dreams for the future in spite of their self-doubts.
 * The Luminous Arc series have it as a part of the gameplay mechanics, both in and out of Intermissions between each game's protagonist and most of their female party members. In the first game, while there's not-so-subtle hints of Alph/Lucia, there's also Alph/Cecille, Leon/Cecille, Nikolai/Cecille,,  ...
 * Luminous Arc 2 brings it back with two potential love interests for Roland, depending on dialogue choices, he can end up with either Althea or . Beside those two, there's Ship Teasing for Roland/Dia, Roland/Sadie, Roland/...And the blatant teasing for Rasche/Dia can't be a coincidence, especially their teasing about.
 * Luminous Arc 3's Refi can find himself in this, as well as forming a closer relationship with one of the girls for a Zodiac Card to perform a Unison Strike. For some extra, he is NOT limited to female.
 * Sasha Nein (Yes, he is a male) and Milla Vodello. Despite being complete polar opposites, in-game bonuses like characters' memories and concept art hint that there might be some more going on than being just co-workers. Psychopedia seems to confirm that yes, Milla has a crush on Sasha, but whether or not he reciprocates is up for debate.
 *  ~Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards~  teases Kirby/Ribbon (who has yet to make a reappearance anywhere else in the Kirby series) - the very first cutscene features a Crash Into Hello, and has her kiss him and give him a Luminescent Blush.
 * Half-Life 2 has some subtle moments of affection between Gordon and Alyx. Then Episode One and Episode Two went nuts with it, up to and including Alyx's father being a Shipper on Deck for them. One can only imagine what Episode Three will have for these two.
 * Snow Sakura has this one at the end of Kozue's route with the Bromantic Foil Sumoyoshi and your resident Tsundere Saki who compliments him on a nice rousing speech to Kozue while blushing noticeably. There were a few fans quite disappointed with Digital Objet not doing more with it.
 * Lux-Pain. Just...Just Lux Pain! Seriously, you can pair roughly half the cast with each other and it makes at least a little sense.
 *  ~Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood~  teases at Lucy and Desmond. In the first game, they were simply working together, with only vague hints that she was on his side up until the end. The sequel had a little bit of ship teasing, but not a lot. By the time of Brotherhood, though, it's quite clear there's some unspoken mutual attraction there, especially in one of the out-of-Animus sequences where Desmond and Lucy have a brief, heartfelt conversation while looking up at the moon. Then there's
 * Largely lampshaded with Mordin Solus in Mass Effect 2, but only if you speak to him enough times and you're either in no current romance or are loyal to one from the first game. It could be assumed this is a playful jab from the writers at those who ship their player character with everyone, but it certainly hasn't stopped people from assuming that Mordin might actually be serious about the possibility of him "trying Shepard"...
 * Soulcalibur gives us Kilik/Xianghua. Numerous times over. From their Destined Battle in II (a Fighting Your Friend moment where neither wants the other to move on for fear of them dying in the battle against Soul Edge/Inferno) to their endings in III (Kilik's having him outright ask Xianghua to stay with him as they share a tender moment, Xianghua's having her hint her affections to an Oblivious to Love Kilik) as well as the fact that the two are the only characters in III to have a dual Weapons Demonstration, it's quite clear that these two are more than True Companions. Soulcalibur IV drives home their status as the Official Couple quite soundly: in Xianghua's ending,
 * The Harvest Moon games set in Forget-me-Not Valley have Rock with the female PC. He's one of the potential Love Interest characters for you, so what's so odd about that, you ask? The fact that the game continues to tease PC/Rock even after one or both of you get married. Rock will continue to make romantic comments toward you even after you marry someone else, and once he gets married, his wife Lumina will chew him out about it.
 * Beyond Good and Evil has quite a bit of teasing between Jade and Double H, to the point that Double H having a Bodyguard Crush on Jade is widely-accepted Fanon. The most obvious tease is when HH attempts to give Jade a Smooch of Victory after winning a Racing Mini Game, but there are others: There's a Take My Hand scene with a dramatic Diving Save (and a Meaningful Echo that could well be interpreted as meaning "I love you"), Double H being driven to the verge of Manly Tears whenever Jade gets sad, and (from Jade's point of view) the fact that Jade initially seems to go into Giddy Fangirl Mode when they first meet. Some sort of relationship develops between them over the course of the game; it's just hard to say what, exactly.
 * Although Guybrush and Elaine were already neatly paired and Happily Married, this did not stop the developers of Tales of Monkey Island from throwing some shipteasing (along with Ship Sinking) moments between Guybrush and his fangirl, Morgan Le Flay. Noticeably in The Lair of the Leviathan and Rise of the Pirate God.
 * The ending of Portal 2 is a parade of Ship Teasing. First, the heavily hints that GLaDOS may actually deeply care for Chell (especially considering the English translation), further solidified by the ending song "Want You Gone", which may as well have been titled "Tsundere: The Song". Second, Chell's final scene has her . Third, the very final scene has.
 * Some Chrono Trigger fans have latched on to Crono and Lucca, in large part due to Lucca  if Marle isn't in the party.
 * Although the series as a whole doesn't do much in the way of ship teasing, the bonus game Professor Layton's London Life has a very subtle one that hints at the possibility of pairing the two young people in the Professor's life - his apprentice Luke and his adopted daughter Flora. It's especially hinted in the way Luke.
 * Solatorobo teases Red x Elh enough during the main game, but the DLC quests take it Up to Eleven. In #5, In #7,  #8  It also teases Béluga x Merveille a couple times, with him  and
 * Shale in Dragon Age gets a telling remark about how attractive Sten's body looks in battle, while he affectionately calls her 'kadan', a term that means something like 'close to the heart'. And then there's all of Zevran's leering at Wynne in particular. In the Awakening expansion, which features no romances, Nathaniel and Velanna, and Anders and Female!Warden have a fair bit of flirting. In Dragon Age 2, Bethany gets flustered around Sebastian, who happily flirts with her when not romanced, whilst Carver has a very obvious crush on Merrill. Fenris and Isabela are also revealed to have a friends with benefits relationship when not romanced, while Aveline can be flirted with repeatedly by Hawke, only for it not to go anywhere. Hawke can even throw a couple of flirty comments Varric's way.
 * Final Fantasy XIII: Aside from Serah and Snow, the rest is all up to interpretation, the biggest source of tease coming from Vanille and Fang, whose relationship is so laiden with Les Yay their Ambiguously Gay status is barely ambiguous at all.
