Line 77:
* In ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', Haruhi falls for the first Host guy she meets, {{spoiler|Tamaki}}.
* Averted in the manga ''[[Manga/Outanders|Outanders]]'' (the much-abriged OVA manages to avoid the subject altogether by paring down the cast and storyline considerably). The first girl that we're introduced to is [[Implied Love Interest|Aki Okizawa]], the coworker and boss of protagonist Tetsuya Wakatsuki, but he winds up marrying alien princess Kham--who tries to kill him when first they meet, later kidnaps him, and is finally won over by him...before being brainwashed into trying to once again kill him, by the [[Knight Templar Parent|most overprotective father in the universe]]. But even then Tetsuya remains faithful to her, rather than turning to another, less abusive member of his modestly-sized harem.
* ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'', Follows this trope pretty straight, Akane is the first fiancee introduced in the series, and serves as the primary love interest, and takes up the most screentime of any of the fiancee brigade. Ukyo, while introduced earlier in the series timeline-wise shows up pretty late story-wise, and is relegated to being the [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]. Shampoo shows up earlier in the backstory (though later than Akane) and winds up acting more like a [[Stalker with a Crush]] than an actual fiancee. Although ''Ranma'' never ends with him outright choosing anyone, it ends with his wedding to Akane being crashed by his other fiancees/stalkers.
** Of course that wedding was forced on him when Soun Tendo bribed him into it by promising him Jusenkyo water if he married Akane so their planned wedding doesn't mean much.
* In ''[[Pokémon Special]]'', Misty is the first girl Red meets on his journey and the first girl who develops a crush on him. Unfortunately, this trope is subverted as she never gets the chance to properly confess to him.
Line 200:
** ''A Wonderful Life'': Celia
** ''Another Wonderful Life'': [[The Scrappy|Rock]].
* ''[[Rune Factory]]'' games all have a [[Official Couple|"main heroine"]] that is the first girl the protagonist meets after [[Easy Amnesia|losing his memory]]. That's Mist in ''Rune Factory'' (and ''[[Rune Factory: Frontier]]''), Mana in ''Rune Factory 2'', and Shara in ''[[Rune Factory 3]]''.
** The one exception to this rule so far is ''[[Rune Factory Oceans]]'', in which neither player character has amnesia and there's no one main heroine (instead, having three "main heroines"; none of them are the First Girl, and there's no [[Official Couple]]). Sonja, the female protagonist, is the first girl [[The Hero|Aden]] meets and the first girl the audience sees, and that they ''both'' get [[Green-Eyed Monster|jealous]] when the other starts forming a relationship with other candidates (along with the trope's prevalence in the series) makes it seem as though this was the intended outcome.
* ''[[Star Ocean]]'' uses this trope in at least three games.
** In ''[[Star Ocean 1|The First Departure]]'', Milly is the easiest character to gain relationship points with, and she is a childhood friend of Roddick.
** In ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story|The Second Story]]'', while it is logical that Claude would have met other girls in his past, they are never mentioned and Rena, the first girl you meet, is the intended love interest.
** In ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time|Till The End of Time]]'', Fayt starts the game with a girlfriend who later becomes a party member and remains the easiest to woo.
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' - You see Aerith first, but Cloud knew [[Victorious Childhood Friend|Tifa]] long before this. Tifa also joins your team first. [[Word of God]] has confirmed in the meantime that Tifa is the official love interest.
** Aerith is herself officially paired with ''her first boy'', Zack. He just happens to already be dead when the game starts. In fact, {{spoiler|she confesses at on the Gondola Ride that the attraction between her and Cloud initially [[Loving a Shadow|was largely based]] on his (unintentional and unaware) mimicry of Zack's personality and demeanor}}.
* ''[[Uncharted]]'': {{spoiler|Nate and Elena}} at the end of ''Among Thieves''.
* In ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'', [[Anti-Hero|Jak]] and [[Wrench Wench|Keira]]. So much so that after Keira got [[The Other Darrin|Darrined]] and Naughty Dog shipped Jak with [[Action Girl|Ashelin]], [[Internet Backdraft|the fans got so pissed]] that Naughty Dog [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity|put them back together]] in ''Jak X''.
* ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' - A female PC can be this for Allistair. Subverted for characters who fall for Morrigan; she doesn't ''want'' to win, even if she develops feelings for the PC.
* Averted in [[Dragon Age 2]], in which the potential Love Interests are the last four party members you meet, after your siblings, Aveline, and Varric. Though it might still apply as the order in which you recruit potential Love Interests is flexible, so you could go to Sundermount before anything else and then pursue a relationship with Merrill, for instance.
