Best Couple in Video Games
There are many different video game couples out there. Yuna and Tidus. Rinoa and Squall. Aerith and Cloud. But out of Atelier, a game series that doesn’t explicitly doesn’t really dive too much into couplings and lets the players decide if the characters are in a relationship or not.
Klein and Lita are an interesting couple. Given that Lita isn’t exactly human. (The game came out in 2004.) Being created by the famous Iris Blanchimont, as an artifical human, Lita is said to said to not only be the only one who survived but also the true daughter of Iris Blanchimont.
It was interesting because Klein is a young alchemist, having been taught by his grandmother Daphne, who was one of Iris’ students along with Mull and Zedalia, but is trying to chase after Iris’ legacy left in Avenberry.
What makes them my favorite couple is their dynamic. They start off with that sort of friendly banter, up until Mull takes the Ruby Prism from Lita, almost killing her and Klein and co rushing to make another one to try and save her life.
I wish that Atelier Iris 2 and 3 would have continued their story, but having Iris’ story is important. (Atelier Iris 3 on the other hand was something different. I don’t want to talk about it.) But seeing them together in Nelke made me happy. (Though I was mad when we didn’t see any Iris representation in Resnerlania.)
What do you think? Who is your favorite video game character?
