* ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]: [[Persona 3 (Video Game)|Persona 3]]'' is a definite example - the various Persona you can use grow stronger as you strengthen your relationship with the character who is associated with the same [[Tarot Motifs]]. In the case of female characters, that relationship tends to be romantic in nature. In order to create the Ultimate Incarnation of each Tarot, you need to max out your relationship with that person - of course, that also means that if you want a good lineup, your character is going to turn into a [[More Friends More Benefits|real Casanova]], since he'll have to win the hearts of five different girls in the same school...
** AND you win the affections of 2 girls who you can't actually have a relationship with (a {{spoiler|preteen girl who promises to marry you when she's older}} and {{spoiler|your female homeroom teacher who you meet anonymously through an online game}}).

In that game you don't have to raise the females' Social links romantically (thus you can remain faithful to one girl); though choosing the romantic route will show different scenes.
* ''[[Devil Survivor 2 (Video Game)|Devil Survivor 2]]'', another [[Shin Megami Tensei]] spinoff, features the Fate System, which works similarly to the aforementioned Social Links: reaching ranks 1, 2 and 4 bestows additional benefits to the character in battle, while ranks 3 and 5 unlock new [[Mon|demons]] for fusion.

** It all depends on the server. All versions have some rules for it, but on some it's more necessary than others (especially for female characters), in others it's just a perk or a [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]. [[Broken Base|Don't get us started on the]] [[Gay Option]] patch.
*** Now you can buy it in a patch?
** To put it another way: marriage doesn't require Intimacy to be at level 5 in order to initiate, but having it at a high level makes [[You Lose At Zero Trust|divorce]] less likely, and regardless of what the players' intimacy levels were at the beginning, [[Luck
