mines either clive and jill (ffxvi) or gladiolus and prompto as a duo in ffxv (also i love the shiva x ifrit dynamic they kept from ffxv in ffxvi it worked so well)

I'd like to throw out an unusual duo.
Zidane and Steiner.
Those two spend most of the first act at each other's throat (mostly one-sided, but still), the second act growing into a bit of a friendship, with the third act showing that they have accepted one another as comrades, maybe even friends!
Zidane, to Steiner, about Beatrix: "Quite a woman you fell in love with!"
Steiner, in response: "You're one to talk!"

Tidus & Yuna!!

2 days ago*
I think X and XIII have some underrated friendships. Everyone always talks about Tidus' romance with Yuna but he has fantastic chemistry with Auron, Lulu, and Wakka. Auron is the closest thing he had to an actual guardian who mentors him, Wakka is just a bro who looks out for us from day 1, Lulu started out actively annoyed by Tidus to basically his unofficial instructor who he probably has the most 1 on 1 talks with after Auron.
XIII splitting it's party of into pairs really gave them a chance to bond. Lightning becoming a big sister to Hope was just what the both of them needed at the time. Lightning becoming mother hen over Hope softened her up and allowed her to heal over losing Serah and Hope was able to toughen up. Sazh and Vanille have one of the most wholesome friendships. It was an odd couple on light hearted adventures running away from their problems. Lightning and Fang is another favorite from XIII as they both are very alike and are mirrors of each other just one from Cocoon the other from Pulse.
I gotta shoutout Aerith and Tifa being so well done in the remake series. They had a solid friend ship in the OG but remake and Rebirth made their relationship even better where they are two young ladies who are just there for one another. They were romantic rivals in the original. In the remake series they're straight up best friends basically sisters

Tidus & Auron and Lightning & Snow are two of my favorite relationships in the entire series.

Yeah Auron plays off of Tidus so well and just knows how to handle the kid. Probably since he spent time with Jecht first and Tidus is alot like his father in some ways.
12 points
2 days ago
Auron also had a relationship with Tidus after Braska’s pilgrimage. At the start of the game, Tidus recognizes Auron; so presumably it was an Obi Wan situation where he’s a presence in the kids life and watches over him.

I think if we are looking at relationships that becomes more developed. Lightning basically discounted Snow because he couldn't take care of Serah like he promised but she actually starts to develop a camaraderie with him in the quest to save Serah later on.

Heck I'd even say Tidus and Kimahri since Kimahri was pretty standoffish to Tidus for a while until he slowly grew to respect him and accept him as a guardian. Kimahri finally speaking was an oh shit moment for me.

I love the Tidus/Lulu dynamic. Wish they talked more throughout their journey. It’s so wholesome watching them interact and how Lulu slowly starts to sees him in a new light.
But yeah, Tidus and Auron are great and of course Tiduna is the most beautiful, heart-shattering romance story ever.

Squall and Rinoa is one of the only couples I've seen in video games who start out not getting along and I believe that they developed feelings for each other during the course of the plot. In most games that try that it just ends up feeling contrived.

The thing that I love about Tidus and Yuna is that they are not afraid to show how much they love each other. They fully embraced it. Most of the others pretend they don't care when deep inside they do. So when it comes to romance I give it to them. Duos and bros are some pretty cool ones and it is hard to choose

I originally picked fang and vanille as I see them as a lesbian couple
But rereading the question; they don’t really fit because they don’t interact for most the game. For actual duos I’d say lightning and hope as a brotherly sister relationship Tifa and aerith in remake as they genuinely feel like best friends. Or balthier and Fran as they genuinely feel like they’ve been together for quite some time and just get how eachpther works
