Line 49:
* Newtype romances, in any ''[[Gundam]]'' series that includes Newtypes, generally do not end well. This goes double if [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]], Mister [[Kill'Em All]] himself, is actively involved in the series. Note that newtype analogs, like the Coordinators from SEED, don't really count (they tend to survive, and have stable relationships).
** {{spoiler|Unless you see Stellar and Shinn's bond as romantic. Then, they get the raw-est part of the deal. Not helped by how Stellar's [[Famous Last Words]] are "Shinn... I love you". If they don't count, is there a sort-of trope that is an equal of "Star Crossed Lovers", but with friends and family?}}
** Also, while {{spoiler|Kira and Lacus}} ''do'' get their happy ending, {{spoiler|Kira and his first girlfriend Fllay}} count as this. {{spoiler|She started out as a [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] who pretended to love him to get revenge since he didn't save her father from a really messy death, [[Becoming the Mask|then truly fell for him]] when he showed her genuine kindness... but she could only sort-of tell him her true feelings ''after'' she was murdered by the [[Big Bad]].}}
** Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy fit this trope after the [[Wham! Episode]] of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', {{spoiler|where she became a [[Sole Survivor]] and lost her hand as well}}. The second season has them fighting on opposite sides, {{spoiler|as he's forced to join Celestial Being as their [[Tagalong Kid]] to save his life and she's become a [[Dark Action Girl]] for the A-Laws. [[Earn Your Happy Ending|It takes them LOTS of effort to get back together]].}}
*** Lyle Dylandy and {{spoiler|Anew Returner}}. It doesn't end well for them, since {{spoiler|she turns out to be an Innovator [[Manchurian Agent]] and betrays Celestial Being when her "trigger" (her Innovator twin Revive Revival) appears and "resets" her. When Lyle offers her a [[Last Second Chance]] she almost takes it, only to be mind controlled by Ribbons Almark into fighting him anyway and she eventually has to be killed by Setsuna to keep her from killing Lyle.}}
Line 315:
* Laguna and Julia in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''. {{spoiler|His son Squall and her daughter Rinoa have [[Official Couple|rather more success.]]}}
* ''EVERY'' single pair of lovers in ''[[Odin Sphere]]''.
* This could apply to [[Final Fantasy X|Tidus and Yuna]] with Tidus being {{spoiler|actually a dream of the Fayth}}. But {{spoiler|at the good ending of ''[[Final Fantasy X
* In ''[[Persona 3]] Portable'', it's possible for this to occur between the female protagonist and {{spoiler|Ryoji Mochizuki. He's an amnesiac [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of Death itself. She's [[Heroic Sacrifice|doomed to sacrifice herself]] to seal a [[Cosmic Horror]], like the male protagonist before her. Yeah, it's not gonna end prettily for either party.}}
** Also, {{spoiler|Junpei Iori and Chidori Yoshino. He's [[The Lancer]] of your [[True Companions]], she is a [[Dark Magical Girl]] who works with Strega, a faction that opposes SEES}}.]] Even more so, {{spoiler|''[[Redemption Equals Death|she actually dies protecting him]]''.}}
