Day 7: Best Game Couple
I imagine most people here would go for like a Zidane-Dagger or Tidus-Yuna, but I'm going to do for an unconventional answer....
Dynasty Warriors: Meg Huo and Zhu Rong
That is a giant man with giant bear claws. And his lovely wife that he carries around. Like most Dynasty Warriors characters, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong come from the kind-of-but-not-really historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I have no idea how they're portrayed in that work, but the Japanese people who made Dynasty Warriors, or at least the people translating the games into English, see fit to have Zhu Rong talk like she's white trash and Meng Huo like he's straight up crazy. Zhu Rong will say stuff like "That outta learn ya!" and "Get off our property!" whereas Meng Huo, after defeating an officer, instead of saying "Enemy officer defeated" like most characters, will say "Enemy officer devoured!" It is implied that he's eating people. Why does any of this make them the best couple? ...Honestly I really have no idea. They just amuse me with their weird mannerisms and obnoxious and most certainly ahistorical tribal getup. The extent of Dynasty Warriors gameplay is basically "hit square a lot until your special attack gague button fills up, then hit circle, then start hitting square a lot again," so the charm of the game is all about the characters, and they were always two of my favorites.
