Games with characters I wanted to date.

This is the most vulnerable and cringe I will ever be here, but I need to share my love for pathetic middle aged men. Only counting their first appearance or we would be here forever.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
I understand Hobo Phoenix changed the lives of many individuals.
BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!

GIVE RAN'S DAD A GAME FOR HIMSELF
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Played this for a couple of hours but god, Kim is so fucking cute.
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight
That Inn CG with Bertrand gave me butterflies in my stomach.
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X
Wakka was definitely an early dorky crush. Still think he is the best character here with Yuna. Sorry to be a homewrecker Lulu but you guys have literally zero chemistry wtf.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Fire Emblem: Awakening
So fucking Many. Gregor, Basilio, Vaike... Awakening has alright character writing but man is it charming.

Also I really wanted to date Lucina as a young teen, you unpack that.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Saber quickly stole my heart and is still my favourite FE character ever. Love that guy.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
There are a bunch of hot people here but Ike is definitely the best character of the bunch. I always headcanoned him as asexual and the game is practically screaming Soren is his special one so I don't think it would work out.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
First Fire Emblem and so many guys that caught my attention. A lot of male characters here just have the perfect balance of Nice but with a certain edge and angst that drives me crazy. Gilliam, Gerik, Cormag, Duessel...
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
No one understands Soseki like I do. Fuck your british twinks, he is the sex bomb here.
Higurashi When They Cry
Higurashi When They Cry
You cannot deny Higurashi would have been a much better experience for everyone involved if I was dating Tomitake.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Have met few people that played these games and didn't love Kyle. I sadly went a step further and I need him to breathe and survive.
The Idolmaster: SideM
The Idolmaster: SideM
Seiji Shingen is still one of my favourite male characters of all time? Genetically engineered for my tastes and just depressingly relatable. Idol franchises are designed to have One character like that for you. You are just averting your eyes.

Also sorry for cheating on you on your backloggd list note entry but Jiro and Michiru too.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix
I dunno what bullshit young me was on but I always found Eraqus hot. Writing side the test of time definitely didn't hold up!
Life is Strange: True Colors
Life is Strange: True Colors
Ryan you are the most perfect generic white man I have ever laid my eyes upon.
NieR
NieR
Got the PS3 version just for Papa Nier. WORTH IT!
Persona 3 FES
Persona 3 FES
Really wanted to date Junpei when I was younger. That feeling has subsided getting older but I love more and more his character the older I get.
Persona 4
Persona 4
One burden I will have to carry for me my entire life is that this game was my gay awakening. Fun fact, I have had Dojima in my keychain for the past 7 years.
Persona 5 Strikers
Persona 5 Strikers
Zenkichi.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix is ultra dateable but Gumshoe has to be up there as one of the most liked male characters of all time, right?
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
Sorry for having to google your name Datz I LOVE YOU!!!
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies
DLC was worth it for the Rick and Morty guy but anime.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
Godot is patient zero for my homosexuality and I have distinct memories of considering him a "mancrush" when I was 10. Make of that as you will.
Remember 11: The Age of Infinity
Remember 11: The Age of Infinity
If I had a nickle for every older reliable male character doing mountaneering with a terrible sense of loss and regret that occupies all his thoughts named Seiji I would have two nickles but it's weird that it happened twice.
Tales of Graces f
Tales of Graces f
Malik is easily my least favourite of the Tales of ossans but I feel like a 4chan incel saying 3/10 to beautiful women, like that guy is really solid.
Tales of Legendia
Tales of Legendia
Gotta finish this game just for Will and his painted on fucked up abs.
Tales of Xillia
Tales of Xillia
Biggest red flag about me is that I deeply relate to Alvin and also want to kiss him.
Tales of Xillia 2
Tales of Xillia 2
Julius is up there as literally the perfect fucking guy, they gave him incest undertones to nerf him because I swear to god lmao
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
I lied, biggest fucking red flag about me is that Rudolf is hot. HORRIBLE PERSON!!! DO NOT DATE!!!
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Sigma is still my favourite protagonist of all time and I want to say it's for other reasons aside from hot but god he is hot. REMEMBER I LIKED HIM BEFORE UCHIKOSHI TWEETED THAT
NEO: The World Ends with You
NEO: The World Ends with You
Also a game with a gigantic set of hot NPCs. Will be forever salty Hanekoma wasn't here because he was my favorite in the original.
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII
Barret is sadly a massive racial steorotype but he was far and beyond somehow the best character in here. I would treat him right. REALLY hoping there are bigger romantic undertones in the remake.
Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!
Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!
Feel like I am forever tied to this game until papa Shinonome gets reedemed.
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
Raven has always been my favourite of the Tales of ossans even before I played the game and god his writing is so fucking terrible but I still love his personality. Mental illness.
Tales of Innocence
Tales of Innocence
Really did not expect to like Riccardo as much as I did. That guy just fucks.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Can't hate him as the rest of the fanbase because I was down bad for Hagakure when I first played this. He is just dumb and dorky you guys!

Significantly more obnoxious in the localization.
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
I think a massive reason why this is my favourite in the trilogy is that I liked Kaito's character from the first moment and the game really wants you to care about him.

My love has subsided as I got older but I met many of my biggest online friends thanks to him (long story) so I have fond memories.
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley
Please everyone go read this fic featuring my husband Harvey, it's unironically one of my favorite stories of all time.
