History ChickMagnet / VideoGames

** [[AntiHero Ragna the Bloodedge]] is {{Ship Tease}}d with Noel, Rachel and Taokaka, and Nu [[StalkerWithACrush is always eager to stalk Ragna]] -- who is hers and hers ''[[{{Yandere}} only]]''. Taken [[UpToEleven up to the]] [[SerialEscalation EXTREME]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBv2Pz07TvQ Rachel's joke ending,]] where, thanks to Rachel's machinations, he attracts the attention of nearly ''every'' female character in the game. Even the ones who normally hate his guts ([[{{Jerkass}} Kokonoe]], [[BrattyHalfPint Luna]]), the ones who aren't human ([[CuteMonsterGirl Makoto]], [[RobotGirl Lambda and Nirvava]]), and the one who's his [[StalkerWithACrush creepy]] [[{{Yandere}} younger]] [[IncestSubtext brother]] Jin.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'''s flagship badass, Dante. While he does play the role of HandsomeLech towards Lady at first, [[GirlOfTheWeek every single female lead of the first three games]] [[ShipTease became viable]] {{Love Interest|s}} for him towards the endgame, UnresolvedSexualTension, and everything. It doesn't hurt that he has the air of TheCharmer about him.

* ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'''has Jazz, who has Claves ([[spoiler:The mole, killed off, but can later be resurrected.]]) as his lover, Falsetto as the envious childhood friend, and Viola, a member of the party who falls for him as they continue their journey but can't bring herself to admit her feelings out loud to him.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild:

** The protagonist of the first ''VideoGame/{{Persona|1}}'' has at least three girls known to be interested in him. The two that get to appear in the second game are still into him despite the time that has passed.
** Tatsuya Suou from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}} Innocent Sin'' is explicitly shown to be a ChickMagnet. Almost all the female cast wants him, major or minor characters. Even some of the guys want him.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}} Eternal Punishment'' Tatsuya's brother Katsuya, a [[FairCop cop]], are also very popular among the female officers.

** While it's rather downplayed in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' (only really gaining the affections of Colette and Sheena), Lloyd Irving definitely counts in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'' (as every female variation of the Flanoir event is romantic, even with his teacher, as well as the [[spoiler: actually 28, but looks 12 because of stunted growth]] GlacierWaif).

* Mike Munroe in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' has three girls after him over the course of the game: [[AmicableExes Emily]], [[OfficialCouple Jessica]], and [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Hannah]]. [[spoiler: Josh]] suggests Ashley might also be after him if Chris shows interest in her, plus all that ShipTease with Samantha.

* Shulk wins the affections of Fiora and has Melia crushing on him in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''. [[spoiler: When he is shot in the back by Dickson, literally every woman in the party are the first to react and ''[[SayMyName cry out his name in unison]]'' as they rush to his aid. Cut to a shot of Melia kneeling beside him as Sharla performs CPR on his chest, Fiora overlooking.]]

* In the interactive romance novel ''VideoGame/{{Moonrise}}'', guys, gals, and nonbinary pals consistently fall head over heels for Rosario, the player character's roommate and friend. Their legendary charm can get in the way sometimes and lead to awkward situations, [[spoiler: like the player's teacher having the hots for them]]. Since Rosario is a romanacable love interest, the player can join the horde of fans.

* Pamela from ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlrevis''. She's a ''very'' {{moe}}, '''''very''''' CuteGhostGirl. The ghost part doesn't deter guys (even the ''principal''!) from courting her.

* Asellus of ''VideoGame/SagaFrontier'' is a rare video game example of this (still attracting girls, not guys), and there's an in-story reason for it to boot. She has [[spoiler: the blood of the Charm Lord in her, which makes her half-mystic but also gives her the Charm Lord's Innate abilities of seduction and attraction to females.]] If you see the EasterEgg, you'll understand more.

* [[MyHeroZero Zero]] from ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]'' had 3 girls who had been explicitly attracted to him. One became his [[ILetGwenStacyDie tragic]] girlfriend, while another had the unfortunate luck of meeting Zero when he's ''both'' [[ChasteHero chaste]] ''and'' [[CelibateHero celibate]] at the same time. As for the third, ''[[InterspeciesRomance Ciel's human]]''. If you count the FoeYay that comes from Fairy Leviathan of the Four Guardians (which gets dialed down into simple teasing with [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Model Z and Model L]]) and Prairie of the Guardians [[spoiler:who's all but outright stated to be [[SheIsAllGrownUp Alouette]] from the ''Zero'' series]] who had feelings for Giro because he [[YouRemindMeOfX reminded her of Zero]], that makes five.

*** Zack almost as much as Cloud. Case in point: Aerith ''and'' Cissnei in the same [[VideoGame/CrisisCore game]]. Way to go Zack.

*** Maya attracted the PlayerCharacter, Mark, Eikichi, many extras or unnamed characters, and several demons.
*** Eriko is very popular amongst the boys in school.

*** Maya's popular with the fellas.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'':
*** Noctis. Luna is his fiancee, Iris has a crush on him, and ''Brotherhood'' often shows him surrounded by girls at school.
*** While not seen directly, Gladio's strongly implied by the rest of the group to be the most successful at chatting up the ladies. After the Time Skip, he's apparently in a fairly serious relationship with an unnamed (and unseen) woman.

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' has Noctis as this. Luna is his fiancee, Iris has a crush on him, and ''Brotherhood'' often shows him surrounded by girls at school.

%%** Princess Garnet or rather by her nickname "Dagger" from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''.

*** Ryoji is this. To the point of SexyManInstantHarem, apparently. You can play his route as [[DistaffCounterpart female protagonist]], as you can see that he's surrounded by a lot of girls. When he goes to you, you can feel the girls [[DeathGlare stare]] [[ClingyJealousGirl sharply]] at you.

** Quistis from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' is known for her beauty and intelligence. To point have her own fan club known as "Trepe Groupies" or simply "Treppies". But she doesn't pay that much attention to them.

*** Even [[StudentCouncilPresident Mitsuru]] has her own fans in school. And just boys, [[girls too.]]

*** After entering the beauty pageant, [[SweetPollyOliver Naoto]] receives votes from the guys for her [[Bifauxnen mysterious charm]].

*** Even [[StudentCouncilPresident Mitsuru]] has her own fans in school.

*** Due to being an idol, Rise has a countless number of male fans and admirers. She‘s even noted to be in the running for a most popular girl at school against Yukiko, who before Rise’s arrival was well noted to be this, to the point it’s often discussed among students of the school. It probably helps that due to being the resident MsFanservice, her good looks are brought up often. Kanji is probably one of the few guys who are not attracted to her in any way.
*** After entering the beauty pageant, [[spoiler:Naoto]] receives votes from the guys for her mysterious charm.

%%*** Ryoji is this. To the point of SexyManInstantHarem, apparently. (ZCE: more details, please)

** To a much, much greater extent, [[{{Bishonen}} Jin]] [[TallDarkAndSnarky Kisaragi]]. As shown in the manga, ''Manga/BlazBlueRemixHeart'', he is extremely popular with girls in his Academy days. And in-game, Tsubaki, Rachel, and Makoto have expressed interests in him.
** Kagura Mutsuki looks to be this, too. One of his winposes has a shapely Fox Beastkin fall RIGHT INTO HIS ARMS -- and she's quite pleased about it. Kagura's luck with the ladies is more hit-or-miss outside of this, however... though he does manage to earn Rachel's respect quite easily and, during their first meeting in ''CP'', is hastily rebuffed by Makoto in a way that insinuates [[NoodleIncident something intimate might've went down in the past between them]].

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'''s flagship badass, Dante. While he does play the role of HandsomeLech towards Lady at first, [[GirlOfTheWeek every single female lead of the first three games]] [[ShipTease became a viable]] {{Love Interest|s}} for him towards endgame, UnresolvedSexualTension and everything. It doesn't hurt that he has the air of TheCharmer about him.

* Prince Euden from ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' has many women vying for his attention. The most blatant are Elisanne and Mym, but Cleo has also implied a few times that she has feelings for him. Among the summonable Adventurers, Euden has also captured the attention of Philia, Malora, Ezelith, Estelle, Hildegarde, and Melody.

* By raising the bond level of their accrued Servants, the PlayerCharacter of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' can gain their affection. It's actually easier to count the ones that aren't in love with their Master, which would be [[GameFavoredGender most male Servants]], female Servants that have longer standing {{Love Interest}}s (Artoria, Medea, Nero, Tamamo[[note]]And yet, alternate versions who never met those love interests exist in-game[[/note]]), or are just [[JustFriends uninterested in them that way]] (Helena, Sheba, Irisviel). Of course, as ''Fate'' veteran [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight EMIYA]] explains, female Servants aren't the most entirely sane people, meaning the protagonist tends to suffer by having all these powerful and volatile women in close proximity, to say nothing of the likes of [[{{Yandere}} Kiyohime]].

*** Cloud Strife is a notorious offender. Despite being a jerk, nearly every woman in the game either falls for him on sight, develops a crush on him or ''can'' soften towards him if Cloud treats them nicely, ranging from romantic heroines to likeable female sidekicks to FanserviceExtra [=NPCs=]. Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'' where Echo is immediately (and [[AbhorrentAdmirer obnoxiously]]) crazy about him and can't understand why anybody else wouldn't be, trying to get him to go out with her on a date, and later set [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Wol up with him]].

* Tifa from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is this. A lot of guys talking about how attractive she is and their plans to get her to notice them. Johnny believes Tifa's in love with him, while Rude will avoid attacking her. Even when she was younger, she was usually surrounded by boys. Even Cloud, TheHero of the story, leaves to become [=SOLDIER=] just to impress her and shows a much kind and caring side towards her in the present.

** Surprisingly, [[WrenchWench Tali]] gets almost as much attention from the guys as female Shepard. She's a potential love interest for a male Shepard , one of only two recurring squadmates who can end up with a love interest who ''isn't'' Shepard (namely, [[spoiler:Garrus, the other squadmate]]), and she draws positive attention from Joker, Kenneth, Kal'Reegar, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Jack, Kelly,]] and even ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR3CMuKoC7c Javik]]'' in a way, in addition to the above ShipTease with a female Shepard. Also, if Shepard romances Tali, Liara comments in the Shadow Broker DLC that she saw Tali as competition for Shepard's affections back on the first Normandy -- notable because Liara is a member of a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe species]] whose [[PlanetOfHats Hat]] is being ridiculously attractive.

** Tatsuya Suou from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'' is explicitly shown to be a ChickMagnet. Almost all the female cast wants him, major or minor characters. Even some of the guys want him.
*** Tatsuya's brother Katsuya, a [[FairCop cop]], are also very popular among the female officers.

* The [[DistaffCounterpart female protagonist]] of ''VideoGame/Persona3 [[VideoGameRemake Portable]]''. Junpei (the only male in SEES [[PlatonicLifePartners she cannot have a romantic relationship with]]) notes that a number of guys he talks to are interested in her. At least two of her Social Links develop feelings for her, although she can't have a relationship with them, another one calls her beautiful, and she is able to (optionally; the game developers have realized that it ''is'' possible for boys and girls to just be friends) romance Akihiko (himself a Chick Magnet), [[TheCutie Ken]], Ryoji, and Shinjiro [[spoiler:who is implied to have fallen for her whether the player chooses to become lovers with him or not]]. Then there's Theo and [[RobotGirl Aigis]]...
** Yukari's really popular with the guys, so much that the protagonist walking together with her on their first day caused quite a stir in the school. It's mentioned by Fuuka that most of the second-year guys formed a broken hearts club in the ''Persona 3'' Drama CD ''A Certain Day of Summer'' after seeing Yukari and the protagonist together much to Yukari's discomfort.
** Even [[StudentCouncilPresident Mitsuru]] has her own fans in school.
* ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
** Yukiko rejected so many guys by the start of the game that "the Amagi Challenge" of asking her out on a date has become something of a rite of passage at Yasogami High. It is also notable that she is the only girl in the group who all of the guys express interest in at one point or another.
** Due to being an idol, Rise has a countless number of male fans and admirers. She‘s even noted to be in the running for most popular girl at school against Yukiko, who before Rise’s arrival was well noted to be this, to the point it’s often discussed among students of the school. It probably helps that due to being the resident MsFanservice, her good looks are brought up often. Kanji is probably one of the few guys who are not attracted to her in any way.

* Tifa from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is this. A lot of guys talking about how attractive she is and their plans to get her to notice them. Johnny believes Tifa's in love with him, while Rude will avoid attacking her and stops Reno from shooting at her by saying it was a [[BlatantLies hand slip]]. Even when she was younger, she was usually surrounded by boys. Even Cloud, TheHero of the story, leaves to become [=SOLDIER=] just to impress her and shows a much kind and caring side towards her in the present.

** Cloud Strife from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a notorious offender. Despite being a jerk, nearly every woman in the game either falls for him on sight, develops a crush on him or ''can'' soften towards him if Cloud treats them nicely, ranging from romantic heroines to likeable female sidekicks to FanserviceExtra [=NPCs=].

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'''s Isaac has a good hint of this, having ShipTease moments with Jenna, Mia, Feizhi, Jill (the girl who'd been transformed into a tree), and an unnamed little girl in Altin (who offers him a kiss in thanks for driving away from the statue monsters).
** However, in ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' he is outpaced: NPC gossip indicates sweet ShelteredAristocrat Amiti to be the sweetheart of ''the entire female population of his homeland''.

* In ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', several incarnations of series protagonist Link are definitely this:
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', he has Malon, [[PuppyLove Saria]] (before [[NeverGrewUp Link grew up]]), [[ChildhoodMarriagePromise Zora Princess Ruto]], the Bombchu Bowling attendant and possibly Nabooru all demonstrating some attraction to him. WordOfGod has stated his faithful FairyCompanion, Navi, and even the titular Princess Zelda also have some feelings for him. The only major female character who ''doesn't'' express some form of affection toward him was Impa, who is more of a mentor figure and ''far'' too old for him. Not bad for someone who [[HeroicMime never speaks]], and is essentially a 9-year-old in a 16-year-old's body in the second half of the game.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'', he has ShipTease with Zelda as well as a grown woman in Kakariko Village.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'' it's much more subdued given most main characters are children, but Link still has ShipTease with both Tetra[[spoiler:/Zelda]] and Medli, and the Fairy Queen outright says that he's her type.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', not only does he get Midna ([[ImpliedLoveInterest maybe]]) and Ilia, but the girl who runs the fishing hole seemed to have a definite thing for him. Then there's the group of fangirls he gains by making it through the clawshot minigame in Hyrule Town. Telma also has a thing for him as shown by her flirtatious winks. Then there's Beth who also likes him -- though it's more like a PrecociousCrush, and later in the game, she seems to move on to Colin and then Prince Ralis.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'', Link has Peatrice (only as long as Link accepts her feelings in the dating sidequest), Kina, Zelda AND Fi interested in him. In the case of Kina, not only she proclaims to be a fan of his if the player performs flawlessly in the harp minigame, but the conversations between the two also spark jealousy regarding her from another NPC.
** The ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle]]'' games' Link is popular, too. There's the titular Oracles, Zelda, Malon, possibly Maple, [[InterspeciesRomance Rosa the Subrosian, the Maku Tree of Labrynna]]... and in the unofficial ''Oracle of Seasons'' manga, ''Link's own pet Cucco''.
** The plot of ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' is kicked off because [[VillainousCrush one of the main antagonists has intense feelings for Link]] and [[GreenEyedMonster just as intense jealousy]] toward [[ReincarnationRomance Zelda]].

** Taken to perhaps its logical limit in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''; seemingly everyone from the shopkeepers to Impa's granddaughter has a thing for Link, with Kodah mentioning having had a crush on him when she was younger, [[spoiler:Princess Mipha of the Zora having intended to propose to him before her death, and the conclusion of Kass's subplot revealing that Princess Zelda herself is in love with Link]]. On top of that, you can catch several female Zoras squeeing over him. This doesn't stop when Link dresses in drag to get into the women-only Gerudo Town, since he's noted to make quite an [[AttractiveBentGender attractive gal]] and several male [=NPCs=] skulking outside of Gerudo Town will flirt with him.

* A male Shepard of ''Franchise/MassEffect'', if you don't play him as a ''complete'' dick. Over the course of the trilogy, he can have a romantic relationship with [[ActionGirl Ashley Williams]], [[HotScientist Dr Liara T'Soni]], [[WrenchWench Tali'Zorah]], [[DefrostingIceQueen Miranda Lawson]], [[BrokenBird Jack]], [[BridgeBunny Kelly Chambers]], [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Kaidan Alenko]], [[AcePilot Steve Cortez]], and Diana Allers. He has ShipTease with Samara, Gianna Parsini, and Shiala, possibly has a ([[OutWithABang very brief]]) encounter with Morinth, and gets a breeding request from at least one krogan.
