History Main / MatchMakerQuest

* In ''FinalFantasyX2'', one side quest involves playing matchmaker for two dozen monkeys infesting a tourist trap the [=PCs=] want to shut down. Another involves telling basically every woman in the world that an uncharismatic but wealthy corporate heir is available.

* In ''FinalFantasyXII'', you can help a viera in Rabanastre to meet her 'soul mate' - either a Seeq, or the hume in the plaza.

* A few quests in ''FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' technically are of this sort. Technically, because the game isn't really designed to handle running around talking to {{NPC}}s, so it's usually just an excuse for killing things.

* There are hints of this in ''{{Bully}}'', as some students ask Jimmy to put presents in other people's lockers, but they are only minor sidequests.

* A somewhat roundabout one in ''DragonQuestVIII'' winds up a ''subversion''. In order to be properly recognized as a man and marry Princess Medea, [[PrinceCharmless Prince Charmles]] needs to obtain an Argon Heart. He's finally talked into getting it when his father describes Medea's... [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean charms]], but needs your help. He spends the entire mission bumbling around, talking down to your party, making unreasonable demands, trying to ride the pretty horse that is actually Medea under a BalefulPolymorph {{Curse}}, and winds up [[spoiler:buying a (presumably fake) Argon Heart from a merchant anyway. And because Medea saw all of this firsthand, she ''refuses'' to marry him later.]]

* In ''{{Fallout 3}}'' you can help Angela Staley catch the eye of Diego. Also, Ronald Laren would like The Nuka-Cola Challenge to be this, but it doesn't work out that way.

** ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Spirit Tracks]]'' has one that has become quite infamous due to what happens after said quest.

** In ''DragonAgeII'', Aveline's sidequest involves her attempting to court a fellow member of the city guards.

** In ''DragonAgeII'', Avelline's sidequest involves her attempting to court a fellow member of the city guards.

* ''FalloutNewVegas'' has Jack and Janet. Jack lives inside the Boomer's air force base and is afraid to leave but looks out with binoculars, Janet lives outside the compound and often looks in with binoculars but cannot enter because the Boomers attack anyone who approaches with artillery out of paranoia. To finish the quest you need to convince the Boomer Elder to allow her to enter the base and join the Boomers, then talk to Janet's boss and get her out of her contract with the Crimson Caravan Company.
** YMMV, but doing so is one of the biggest [[WarmAndFuzzyFeeling feel-good]] moments in the game.

* In ''TheLegendOfZelda: TheWindWaker,'' you have to help two painfully shy NPCs (who are too shy to even say hello to each other, even though they see each other every day) get together. This involves showing them [[AmateurPhotographer pictures]] of each other.

* In ''{{Fable}},'' you can bring together a boy and a girl who previously met at a party, by bringing his love letter to her(or claim that the letter is yours, and get the girl. )
** In Fable II, the player can find a date for a farmer's son. The farmer would like you to set him up with a nice girl, but he would prefer a nice boy.

* In May of the 2nd year of ''[[TokimekiMemorial Tokimeki Memorial 2]]'', one of the protagonists' best friends, Junichiro Hokari, will phone him to confess he's in love with one of the girls of the cast. You, as the protagonist, can, with the help of your childhood friend Hikari, can then set up a double date between you, Hikari, Jun, and Jun's love interest, in order to help him get close to her. Of course, if the girl Jun targets is the same as yours, this is the clue for restarting your game, [[ThatOneBoss unless you feel]] ''[[ThatOneBoss really]]'' [[ThatOneBoss confident in your combat stats]]...
