Line 37:
* Naru and Keitaro in ''[[Love Hina]]'', and by the end only Naru is in denial over this; it helps that Naru is [[Author Appeal|loosely based on the author's own wife]].
* ''[[Kare Kano]]'' is rife with Official Couples which is pretty much the whole point of the show. In fact, it's easier to list who ''isn't'' in a relationship by the end of the manga than the other way around.
* ''[[
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' has the pair of Sango and Miroku, who have had a steadily evolving relationship from their mutual introductions. Interestingly, Inu-Yasha himself is part of a triangle (with Kagome and Kikyo). {{spoiler|The [[Manga]] finally resolves this issue by re-killing off Kikyo and giving her and Inu-Yasha a bittersweet closure so she can pass away in peace and he can let go of his guilt and be free to go with Kagome. In the [[Distant Finale]] Sango and Miroku have children and Kagome manages to return to the past to be with Inu-Yasha for good after some time spent stuck in the future.}}
* Kazuki and Tokiko on ''[[Busou Renkin]]''.
Line 225:
* Noah and Allie in ''[[The Notebook]]''.
* Bryce and Juli in the novel ''[[Flipped]]''. Although they don't get together during the book, the ending leaves things hopeful.
* Claire and Henry in ''[[The Time
* Despite being on opposite sides, Amy and Ian are pretty much set up this way in ''[[The 39 Clues]]''.
* In both the book and the movie of ''[[The Princess Bride (novel)|The Princess Bride]]'', Westley/Buttercup is the official couple. Humperdinck and Buttercup nearly get married, but it's made very clear that they're not right for, and don't love, each other.
Line 407:
* Even ''[[Drakengard]]'', a series known for its dark tragedy, morbid horror and almost complete lack of romance, gives us an Official Couple with {{spoiler|Nowe/Manah}} in the second game.
* The ''[[Tales (series)]]'' usually has one in every game:
** Emil and Marta from ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]''.
** Luke and Tear from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]''.
** Natalia and Asch also; the escort titles in particular like to get some [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqSSY2AHh1k extra mileage] out of this one. {{spoiler|Of course, there's only one Luke in the end, so only one of the couples gets a happy ending.}}
Line 428:
* ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' gives us three: [[Anti-Hero|Jak]] and [[Wrench Wench|Keira]], [[Action Girl|Ashelin]] and [[Rebel Leader|Torn]], and [[Weasel Mascot|Daxter]] and [[Genius Ditz|Tess]]. God help you if you begin [[Running the Asylum]] and you [[Internet Backdraft|try to mess with their relationships]].
* Chaz Ashley and Rika in the 4th installment of the ''[[Phantasy Star]]'' series. [[Word of God]] via the prelims for a canceled sequel support this.
* Fox and Krystal in the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' games. Ever since her introduction, it's been made clear that one of Krystal's roles (outside of [[Ms. Fanservice|the more obvious]]) is that of Fox's [[Love Interest]]. ''Command'' left things in doubt when they split up briefly (some endings featured them getting back together, some featured them splitting apart), but it seems that game is [[Canon
** Thanks to [[Alternate Continuity]] and [[Executive Meddling]] Fox McCloud is ''at the same time'' interested in Fara Phoenix. Cue [[Fan Dumb]] as the two bases [[Broken Base|fight each other]] over who is the ''more'' official couple.
* ''[[Earthbound]]'' has [[Toy Ship|Ness and Paula]].
** [[Word of God]] has confirmed [[Ho Yay|Jeff/Tony]], or at least one-sided on Tony's part.
** [[MOTHER 1]] has [[Toy Ship|Ninten/Ana]], which is so official that Ana pointblank asks Ninten if he likes her at one point.
* As soon as it was announced that ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' would feature the children of the characters from the first two games, the [[Internet Backdraft|fallout]] was easily predictable as ''[[Golden Sun]]'' is a fandom rife with [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]. Sure enough, the [[Ship Mates|Isaac/Mia and Garet/Jenna]] shippers were disappointed, as Isaac/Jenna was made canon.
** In the second game, Sheba makes a comment to Jenna along the lines of "Aren't you and Isaac, like... an item?"
** However, the [[Ship Mates|corresponding]] Garet/Mia, while not technically ''[[Ship Sinking|sunk]]'', would require some serious violations of [[Occam's Razor]] and even then wouldn't result in them being [[Happily Married]], as ''each'' has a playable child (as does Ivan).
