History ShipperOnDeck / Videogames

* In Sephiroth's storyline in ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'', Echo seems to have abandoned her crush on Cloud in favour of teasing Wol about his interest in him, suggesting Wol ask him on a date. Wol says he doesn't think Cloud would be interested because he "only has eyes for Sephiroth."

* Kraden might be at it again in ''[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Dark Dawn]]'', since his excuse for Nowell's absence in the second half of the game is that [[MayflyDecemberRomance she took a fancy to Piers]], which he may or may not have encouraged.

* Luis from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4,'' despite leching on Ashley earlier, still supports Leon looking after her, saying Leon is better with the ladies.

** Leon, despite butting heads with Jake when he meets him and Sherry, still gives an approving smile when he sees Jake protect her.

* If you try to express interest in Mira as a male character in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', she points out rather bluntly that Visas and the Handmaiden are both infatuated with you and she doesn't want to have to beat them both off with a stick if she starts sharing a bunk with you. Many fans were dismayed. Additionally, [[EvilMentor Kreia]] teases you about your growing relationship with the two and implies that she'd prefer to see you with the Handmaiden [[spoiler: which makes sense considering that Brianna [[WhyAreYouNotMySon is her daughter]]]].

* Max explicitly states that she believes Warren and Brooke would be (quote): [[PairTheSmartOnes "perfect for each other"]], because [[BirdsOfAFeather they're both science geeks, honors students, and they even share club activities.]] If the player chooses, Max can play matchmaker and set them up on a date in episode 4[[note]]Max has to turn Warren down in episode 2, then either convince Daniel to skip the Vortex Club party in episode 4, or simply don't speak to him, which prompts Warren to ask Brooke out on a date[[/note]]. If successful, Max will tell Brooke she's happy for her during the End of the World party in episode 4.

* In ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', {{Hollywood Nerd}}s Chris and Ashley start the game crushing on each other, and both Sam and Joshua are pretty forward about wanting to see them together. [[spoiler: [[TheTrickster The latter]] turns out to be one hell of a shipper - certain comments he makes imply that while his primary goal in putting the two through the psychological wringer together via elaborate horror prank is to... well, put them through the psychological wringer, he's also hoping to ''aggressively'' drive them closer together.]]

** Snarky!Hawke jokingly ships Meredith and Orsino and calls them out on their FoeYay.

* In Sephiroth's storyline in ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'', Echo seems to have abandoned her crush on Cloud in favour of teasing Wol about his interest in him, suggesting Wol ask him on a date. Wol says he doesn't think Cloud would be interested because he "[[FoeYay only has eyes for Sephiroth]]."

[[AC:''VideoGame/DragonQuest]]

** We also have [[LargeHam General Wallace]], who in his youth shipped [[{{Ojou}} his lord's daughter Madelyn]] with [[BashBrothers his best friend and sparring partner]] [[WarriorPrince Hassar of the Lorca tribe]]. [[spoiler: His and Kent's supports reveal that years ago, when the StarCrossedLovers eloped to not be separated, Wallace chose to let go of them and be imprisoned as punishment rather than break them apart; some time later, they became the parents of their actual lady in liege, Princess Lyndis aka Lyn (whom Kent himself can marry via supports). It's also AnAesop about how [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight rules are NOT always the end and be it]], and sometimes [[ToBeLawfulOrGood you have to choose the good over the lawful in]] LawfulGood.]]

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake'' sees Tyrell retooled significantly as Carlos's teammate and good friend, to the point where he's practically the game's [[{{Deuteragonist}} tritagonist]]. Part of his expanded role includes occasionally making fun of Carlos for his obvious crush on Jill, but in a clearly approving manner.

* If you try to express interest in Mira as a male character in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2'', she points out rather bluntly that Visas and the Handmaiden are both infatuated with you and she doesn't want to have to beat them both off with a stick if she starts sharing a bunk with you. Many fans were dismayed.

[[AC:''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'']]
* ''The entire cast'' of the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' spanning from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure'', and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' ship Tita with Agate even though there's a twelve-year difference between the two of them. By ''Cold Steel IV'', even [[TheHero Rean]] is onboard with the ship and apologizes to Tita if the player chooses her for the hot springs sidequest.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Cold Steel II'' where Rean ships [[HoYay Machias and Jusis]] when they're bickering as usual, leading Rean to think that the two of them should just kiss already.
* Rean x [[ImpliedLoveInterest Alisa]] is shipped by [[NinjaMaid Sharon]], [[DirtyOldMan Gwyn]], and [[FriendlyRival Ferris]] are onboard the ship, much to the couple's chagrin.
* Cecile for her part ships her "younger brother" [[note]]she would have been had it not been for the fact that her boyfriend died on duty[[/note]] with quite a number of women because she believes that is her duty as Lloyd's older sister.
* Alfin loves teasing her friend Elise because the latter has a crush on her adopted older brother Rean although starting from ''Cold Steel II'', Alfin starts having feelings for Rean and feels guilty about it if she's picked for the fireworks scene in ''IV''.

** TeamDad Hosea spends most of Chapter 2 and 3 coaxing John into trying to form a real relationship with Abigail. He's very proud once John actually starts doing it in Chapter 4. Though given that it's a {{prequel}} and they're very HappilyMarried come the time of the first]] game , this is a bit of a ForegoneConclusion.

* ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEndersTheFistOfMars'' has the entirety of BIS shipping Cage/Myona at one point, and towards the end, Yukito ships Warren/Mebius. To be fair on the latter one [[spoiler: EveryoneCanSeeIt, and Warren DOES have a crush on her]]
* In ''VideoGame/TheLongestJourney'', Charlie has a crush on April who is ObliviousToLove. Emma tries to help the cause, without much success.
* ''VideoGame/YesYourGrace'': [[spoiler:Beyran]] seems to really like the idea of [[spoiler:his daughter Maya and Eryk's daughter Asalia]] being a couple.
* ''VideoGame/SwooningOverStansAGrunkleDatingSimulator'': Mabel is one for both routes. She orchestrates many of the dates and is determined to find happiness for Stan and Ford.
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': While many companions will ship the PlayerCharacter with their LoveInterest, the Bounty Hunter PC gets one better. In the event that the Bounty Hunter PC romances neither Mako (if male) nor Torian Cadera (if female), [[PairTheSpares Torian might come to them for advice on asking Mako out]]. It's up to the player whether to encourage or discourage the relationship. [[spoiler:If encouraged, it doesn't last: they break up amicably later.]]

* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT'', the original LoveTriangle between [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Eagle/Hikaru/Lantis]] gets resolved by having Eagle turn into a shopper for the latter two. [[Anime/CaptainHarlock Kei Yuuki]] herself starts to become on for the rest of T3 after acknowledging her own romantic feelings for Harlock.

[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Kei Yuuki]] herself starts to become on for the rest of T3 after acknowledging her own romantic feelings for Harlock.

*** Interestingly, both Genis and Raine cool off on the ship once the Tethe'alla half of the plot starts, Genis because he has his own (utterly unrequited) crush on Presea to focus on and Raine because she seems to push for the ship because she knew [[spoiler:Colette was going to die when she regenerated the world, so it might have been a case of LetThemDieHappy]]. There's also the fact [[StudentTeacherRomance Lloyd/Raine is a possible ship]] later on.

* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces,'' Richard and Malik, the latter especially, are both fairly supportive of both Asbel/Cheria and potential BetaCouple [[spoiler: Hubert/Pascal, though they don't ever [[MaybeEverAfter truly get together.]]]] Hilariously, Malik and Richard choose to show this support by [[{{Troll}} trolling the couples]] every chance they get. [[spoiler: It is also implied that Malik is afraid that Asbel and Hubert's ineptitude at love will end with them going through the same thing Malik did with Lorelia]].

* ''The entire cast'' of the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' spanning from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesZeroNoKiseki'', and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' ship Tita with Agate even though there's a twelve-year difference between the two of them. By ''Cold Steel IV'', even [[TheHero Rean]] is onboard with the ship and apologizes to Tita if the player chooses her for the hot springs sidequest.

** Shortly after [[spoiler: Colette loses her soul,]] there is a skit where Genis suggests Lloyd to tell Colette he loves her [[spoiler: to get her back to normal]]. One particular line in this skit makes him seem like he might be genuinely trying to drop hints to him (Albeit through his usual brand of trolling).

One particular line in this skit makes him seem like he might be genuinely trying to drop hints to him (Albeit through his usual brand of trolling).

** In the [[TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld sequel]], if you pick Colette in the Iselia/Flanoir sidequest near the end of the game, Emil openly ships Lloyd with her.

** Genis seems to be this for Lloyd and Colette... Of course, it's also seems like he's just in it [[RuleOfFunny for the laughs]].
