#GROWING UP GAME ROMANCES SERIES#

We hope this will keep on growing with PS4 and Switch’s versions that just launched and inspire more games to deal with love and sex more healthily and honestly. We have received a fantastic response from players about how genuine Yu and Kay’s relationship feels and how it makes them relatable.

I really loved playing these games when I was a child and I’m still very fond of love stories in Final Fantasy or Persona games, but I’m happy we could come up with something unique, a tone that was missing in the video game landscape. You don’t “see them making love” because it’s not the point, that would be going too far in their intimacy, but it’s definitely not a taboo. In Haven they tease each other, they joke about it. It’s part of their life, it’s neither a taboo or a big deal (most of the time in games it’s either absent or a memorable first time). You get to see them eating, playing games, chatting about their life, doing chores, getting a haircut, fighting or having fun.Īnd obviously, as an established couple, they have sex. The RPG gameplay is paced with slices of their life while they try to settle in a deserted planet. The dialogs are written in a modern, relatable way. There’s action, mystery, exploration and combat. Tell you a thrilling story of runaway lovers in space, fighting to stay together. What if we described a lasting relationship in a video game? What happens when they are a couple, a real one. It got me really interested: what if we saw a real relationship. You can eventually date one of your teammates, but that’s the endgame. Persona 5 social bonding and dating gameplayīut even in Persona games, it’s still about flirting, about the early days of a relationship. You see the bonds between the characters develop, should it be love or friendship. You get to see your characters at school, in their families, in their hobbies and jobs.

That’s also what makes the Persona series so unique: it’s not only a JRPG and a dungeon crawler, it’s a social sim. It was a story about friendship and you could actually witness it. That’s a part I really liked in Final Fantasy XV, when they stopped to camp, in a high standing camping tent, with transat chairs and luxury barbeque. What happens in between the quests? What do characters do when they don’t explore dungeons or buy shinier swords? Can I look behind the curtain and see what happens in my group of heroes when they stop at the inn? Growing up, I got really thirsty for seeing more of that side of the story. Lunar: Eternal Blue, one of the best JRPG from the 90s The boy (most of the time it was a male lead) met a girl and eventually, at the end of the story, they kinda were in love (we knew because they hugged in a cutscene). there was very little to feed on the romance side. Image from the game Secret of Mana, still a great game despite not being “modern” The core of the game was never about love, it was about getting stronger, defeating a powerful enemy and saving the world. Even if the characters were adults or young adults, they were acting like children who have never had a romantic relationship before. Romance, especially, was treated in a very childish way. The relationships between characters were simplistic as well. Video games at the time were designed for people my age.
