I agree with crimsoncommand above and also would like to add that I think FFX and final fantasy in general does romances pretty well for not making it this ridiculous romp like what you would find in Mass effect or Dragon Age. I know I'm not the only one who clicked the juicy options in bioware games just to get to the feisty fanservice at the end... and that's all well and good but I've never felt like I created a real romance (except in KOTOR with Bastila) by doing those. I think the romances are definitely an art like you say because they don't shove sex and lust down our throats at the climax so to speak of the love story. Sure Tidus and Yuna had a nice kiss, but the real climax **SPOILERS** was when Yuna tells Tidus that she loves him before he fades away. That's honestly a whole lot more gripping than a sex scene, but this is coming from a guy who openly enjoys watching The Notebook so I may just be a bit more ooey gooey than most dudes about that stuff. Very well said. I'm not a big romance guy, but Square does it better than most. Sex should not be the climax of a story because it's not the peak of human emotion and experience. .........a little sex wouldn't hurt.

I think we can all agree sex is wonderful, but as a story driver it's weak. I think the way they did it in VII was perfect. Don't need details, it isn't porn...although I'm sure there is plenty of FF related porn out there.

I know, I just really want to see Lightning naked In FF13 Fang got to see Lightning's breasts in that one scene. Also the fact that Fang is an implied lesbian and Lightning is all awkward about her seeing her breasts and Fang is all like "eh its nothing" makes it hilarious

Well, I did play it, but it was my brother's and I never got pass the jungle with Hope and Lightning before I had to leave.

Once the guys on the podcast play through it again you should join in. I think I might just do that if I can manage to wrangle a copy sometime.
