Line 130:
* ''[[Soul Series|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, {{spoiler|she intercepts Kilik right before he attempts a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to destroy [[Evil Weapon|Soul Edge]] once and for all. When Xianghua pleads for him to not go through with it and confronts him on their shared sexual chemistry, Kilik painfully states that he wants to be with her, but there simply isn't a way for them in a world that Soul Edge plagues with evil and [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|instead wants her to find happiness in a life without him]]. Right as he starts his kamikaze attempt, Xianghua runs up to Kilik and embraces him, telling him that [[Together in Death|she's going to stay with him]]. Kilik replies with a "thank you".}}
* 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 & Evil (video game)|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 [[
* Although Guybrush and Elaine were already [[Official Couple|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 {{spoiler|Turret opera}} heavily hints that GLaDOS may actually deeply care for Chell (especially considering [[Bilingual Bonus|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 {{spoiler|[[Cargo Ship|reunited with]] [[Companion Cube]]}}. Third, the very final scene has {{spoiler|Wheatley lamenting all the bad things he did, and that all he wants to do now is apologise to Chell}}.
