History EveryoneCanSeeIt / VideoGames

* Practically everyone in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'' can tell despite their [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend earnest attempts to deny it]] that Soma and Mina have the hots for each other. [[spoiler:So does Celia. [[FakeKillScare It]] [[TargetedToHurtTheHero doesn't]] [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred end]] [[EvilIsNotAToy well]]]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea}}'':

** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': Paraphrased from the game:
--->'''Wynne:''' So, you and [LoveInterest].
--->'''The Warden:''' You know about [LoveInterest] and me?
--->'''Wynne:''' ''Everyone'' knows about [LoveInterest] and you. Trust me, in Zevran's case, half the camp sleeping in their tents wishes they didn't.

** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', regardless of which LoveInterest the player decides to pursue, a pair of GossipyHens in the main hall of Skyhold will be overheard discussing the state of the relationship. Other companions will, to varying degrees, also comment on the situation in party banter and/or when directly addressed; for example, if the female Inquisitor is starting a romance with Cullen, Dorian (if he has high approval for her) will tease her about having "a thing for strapping young Templars." He then adds that he thinks it's adorable.

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'':

* Fox and Krystal from the ''VideoGame/StarFox'' series are obviously attracted to one another, but rarely will they ever mention it. Pretty much everyone on the Star Fox team (and even some people who aren't) know that the two are in love with each other and will occasionally comment on it. At one point in ''Star Fox Assault'', Prince Tricky tells Fox and Krystal to come back to his planet for their honeymoon, which causes Fox to get all embarrassed and yell at Tricky.

* Done adorably in ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel Moonlit Lovers'' with Vanilla, who doesn't really understand what love is and thinks she's sick and dying. Finally, Dr. Creta gets Ranpha involved and Ranpha does a poor job of explaining that she's lovesick for Tact. As Tact himself doesn't even realize what's wrong with Vanilla, the entire ship starts trying to get them together before Tact realizes what's happening and sits down with Vanilla to explain to her what love is.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesKuroNoKiseki'' has [[TheHero Van Arkride]] and Elaine Auclaire who both used to date in high school till Van dropped out of said school without informing her or his other childhood friend Rene. Everyone who knows of the two can see that the two of them clearly have feelings for one another and even Van himself would prefer to come back to her. Unfortunately, it's not that simple for Van as [[spoiler:he's got a metric-sized emotional baggage that he's sorting out due to being a victim of the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure DG Cult]] and the fact that there's something inside of him.]]

* Done adorably in ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel Moonlight Lovers'' with Vanilla, who doesn't really understand what love is and thinks she's sick and dying. Finally, Dr. Creta gets Ranpha involved and Ranpha does a poor job of explaining that she's lovesick for Tact. As Tact himself doesn't even realize what's wrong with Vanilla, the entire ship starts trying to get them together before Tact realizes what's happening and sits down with Vanilla to explain to her what love is.

* Early in ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'', the villagers around Hakuoro drop some rather pointed hints concerning Eruruw that he apparently never catches on to. Such teasing more or less stops after [[spoiler:he becomes emperor and she becomes royalty as well]], but he still seems more or less oblivious.
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'':
** Kelly Chambers says "You two would make such a cute couple!" in response to Tali (if Shepard is male) or Garrus (if Shepard is female) joining the crew. Those two are both possible love interests for Shepard of the indicated gender. Master thief Kasumi Goto also gets in on the action, thanks to the new DLC.
** In the ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'' DLC, Liara will tell a Shepard who is romancing Tali that Tali has been awestruck since she first joined the Normandy crew.
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', Ashley and Kaidan's complete lack of surprise when Shepard and Tali start flirting in the middle of a mission is telling.
* The male player character and Elanee in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'', at least from Neeshka's general reaction to her.
** Though it works just as well in reverse if the player's relationship with Neeshka is higher than it is with Elanee.

* ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'' in regards to its two leads, Claude and Rena. They have a small problem of CannotSpitItOut, but it doesn't stop the rest of their friends from trying to spell it out for them. In fact, it was so obvious that even Dias (TheStoic, a childhood friend of Rena and a sort-of-{{rival}} for Claude) can see it.
* Fox and Krystal from the ''VideoGame/StarFox'' series are obviously attracted to one another, but rarely will they ever mention it. Pretty much everyone on the Star Fox team (and even some people who aren't) know that the two are in love with each other and will occasionally comment on it. At one point in ''Star Fox Assault'', Prince Tricky tells Fox and Krystal to come back to his planet for their honeymoon, which causes Fox to get all embarrassed and yell at Tricky.

* Adell and Rozalin in ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' eventually end up like this. Eventually lampshaded by Etna, who sees they've got "[[BelligerentSexualTension one of those relationships going]]".
** By the time of ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'', they have a hard time convincing people they're not ''married'' (though they... uh, live in the same house together).

* Done [[{{Moe}} adorably]] in ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel Moonlight Lovers'' with Vanilla, who doesn't really understand what love is and thinks she's sick and dying. Finally, Dr. Creta gets Ranpha involved and Ranpha does a poor job of explaining that she's lovesick for Tact. As Tact himself doesn't even realize what's wrong with Vanilla, the entire ship starts trying to get them together before Tact realizes what's happening and sits down with Vanilla to explain to her what love is.
* ''VideoGame/{{Wadanohara}}'': Pretty much everyone in town can tell how much [[spoiler: Samekichi and Wadanohara love each other. While Samekichi's feelings are a LOT more obvious despite how he tries to hide them, characters make comments about how the two of them "get along so well" and how cute they are together. Samekichi's feelings are so obvious that one character tells him "a thousand fish in the sea would all say they knew" when he confesses.]]
* There's that conservation among the Hyades in ''Third VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ: Tengoku-hen,'' where they're like "man, Debaran needs to drop the pretense cause everybody knows he wants to jump [[spoiler:Elunaruna]]'s bones." "Yeah, and when/if he tries, [[spoiler:she'll]] smash his balls into a fine powder and we'll get to laugh at him over drinks."

* This trope seems to be a common trend in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''
** All of Colony 9 is aware of the attraction between Shulk and Fiora. Her brother Dunban has known about it [[ChildhoodFriendRomance since she and Shulk were children.]] At one point, even confiding in Reyn that Shulk has his approval to court Fiora, if he chooses. Reyn shares Dunban's sentiment and agrees to silently root for them.
** It doesn't take long for Shulk and the others to see the budding romance between Reyn and Sharla either. So does Reyn, though he initially dismisses it as Sharla seeing him [[ReplacementGoldfish as a substitute]] for her deceased boyfriend, Gadolt. But their final heart-to-heart reveals that her feelings for him are genuine and the ending implies they [[MaybeEverAfter might eventually]] become a couple.
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'': Gwin's repressed feelings for his senior officer, [[IronLady Irina]], is [[EverybodyKnewAlready the worst kept secret]] in the BLADE administration. Even Lin and Tatsu, who are a pair of 13-year-olds, spot it and call him on it during his "Boot Camp" affinity mission. So does Alexa, during her post-fight banter with him:
-->'''Gwin''': "Hey, Alexa, think you can teach a bit more about skells?"
-->'''Alexa''': "Sure. I'll show you a trick that'll knock Irina's socks off."
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': It's patently obvious to everyone that there's more to Rex and Pyra's relationship than just [[BattleCouple Driver and Blade]], even accounting for the FirstEpisodeResurrection and shared goals. It's so obvious that a random NPC will just so happen to mention old tales of Blades marrying their Drivers.
* Practically everyone in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'' can tell despite their [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend earnest attempts to deny it]] that Soma and Mina have the hots for each other. [[spoiler:So does Celia. [[FakeKillScare It]] [[TargetedToHurtTheHero doesn't]] [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred end]] [[EvilIsNotAToy well]]]].
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'': Matthew, Lyn, and Eliwood can all tell Jaffar is in love with Nino. Legault even asks Jaffar directly if he plans on marrying her.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': After the TimeSkip in the Black Eagles route (if [[spoiler:Byleth sides with Edelgard against the Church of Seiros]]), it becomes pretty clear to all the Black Eagles that the usually unflappable Edelgard has at the very least a strong emotional attachment to Byleth; even the less-than-observant Caspar is able to notice just how hard Edelgard took [[spoiler:Byleth's five-year-long disappearance]].
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', it's obvious to everyone (including Lewyn himself) that Erinys is madly in love with him, but she's just too shy and insistent on her role as his [[BodyguardCrush retainer]] to admit it. In one scene, [[TheTease Silvia]] even teases her by saying that since Erinys doesn't like him, she'd have no problem with Silvia marrying him, right? To which Erinys awkwardly concludes that she ''would'' have a problem with that, but only because Lewyn should only end up with someone who's worthy of being Queen of Silesse. No other reason!
