7. Cecil Harvey and Rosa Joanna Farrell – Final Fantasy IV
Cecil and Rosa were the very first official romance in the Final Fantasy series, and they’re certainly one to remember. The two were childhood friends, and they both harbored deep feelings for each other, although Cecil’s duty as a Dark Knight initially held him back from acting on those feelings.
Even after realizing the true intentions of Baron, Cecil is remiss to let Rosa follow him into danger. There’s an additional layer of complexity added onto their relationship when you factor in the love triangle with Cecil’s friend Kain, who’s also in love with Rosa.
The couple perseveres through thick and thin, saving the world in the process, and eventually getting married. Even better is the fact that we get to see them grow together in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, which focuses on their son Ceodore.
