History HeterosexualLifePartners / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': BigGood Statesman and BigBad Lord Recluse used to be this, the latter becoming a super-villain specifically to spite the former for dumping him. Though the game plays the relationship subtle at first it doesn't back away from the implication of their relationship or play it humor.

*** Tifa and Aerith are shown to be very close friends in VideoGame/FinalFantasy7Remake and VideoGame/FinalFantasy7Rebirth in spite of their mutual romantic interest in Cloud, constantly lifting each other up and spending a lot of time together.

*** Cloud and Zack. Zack even looks after the comatose Cloud and even dies defending him against hundreds of Shinra soldiers. If that isn't the height of male love, nothing is.

* ''Franchise/FireEmblems'':

----

** Reno and Rude of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' and its spin-offs fit the bill.

* Most ''Fire Emblems'' have a pairing like this.

** Shinon and Gatrie from those same games. Played for laughs, as [[CasanovaWannabe Gatrie]] is forever LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces, and [[TallDarkAndSnarky Shinon]] regularly points out that the girls are either only interested in whatever little money he may have or wholly unattainable.
--->'''Gatrie:''' Don't mock me, Shinon! This is serious. I feel it. It's destiny! That girl and I are fated to be together!\\

** Some of the Lords have formed friendships like this. [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Sigurd and Quan]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Eliwood and Hector]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy and Wolt]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike and Ranulf or Soren]]... Though Ike's heterosexuality may be debatable. Especially considering that Elincia flirts with him relentlessly, and he ignores her along with every other woman who shows possible interest, and in between games she moves on both handling Crimea as best as she can and, if the player wishes so, possibly reciprocating Geoffrey's BodyguardCrush on her. He could be utterly disinterested in romance of any sort from either sex, but arguments still persist over whether Ike's [[RelationshipValues paired endings]] are this trope or all {{Gay Option}}s. It might be of interest that neither Ranulf nor Soren show any romantic interest in women either.

* ''[[VideoGame/ArTonelico2 Ar Tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica]]'' -- [[spoiler:Luca and Cloche wind up this way, particularly in the Jacqli and Cocona endings.]]

* Well, more this one involves than two perhaps, as [[VideoGame/StarFox Star Wolf]] is a trio of male mercenaries who have shared their lives together, being Wolf, Leon and Panther. Also, it is hinted that Wolf and Leon have been together longer, going way before the events of ''Star Fox 64''...though well...Leon seems to be enjoying his partner for sadomasochism.

** Apparently, Kenshi has a thing for ninjas, as seen in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'' with his interactions with both Ermac and Sub-Zero. Then there's his latest stint with Scorpion from ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', to the point where they basically [[HasTwoMommies share Takeda]] -- son of Kenshi, trained by Scorpion.

** In the origin stories, the Mage, Dwarven Commoner, and Dalish Elf each have HeterosexualLifePartners (well... however you take it, depending on the {{PC}}'s gender) who also serve as their partners during the beginning of the game. However, they're pretty quickly forced to leave them behind when they're the only one recruited into the Grey Wardens. Depending on how the player plays their cards, they can always find another one later on in a party member, especially noticeable with a male Warden and Alistair or a female Warden and [[GayOption platonic]] Leliana.

*** Pyra, Mythra and Nia, especially since the former two are LiteralSplitPersonality.
