Summary

  • Tidus and Yuna were just voted the most popular Final Fantasy couple in a fan poll.
  • Second place went to Squall and Rinoa from Final Fantasy 8.

The Final Fantasy series is full of iconic couples, with pretty much every new instalment introducing a pairing that many in the fanbase will claim to be their favourite. And that's not even getting into the non-canon pairings that fans cling to as well.

However, out of every couple the series has given us, it seems that there's one that's won the most hearts over the years. According to a poll of fans, Tidus and Yuna from Final Fantasy 10 are the most popular pairing in the series, easily fending off the competition.

Everyone Loves Tidus And Yuna

This is according to a poll run by Reddit user MysticalSword270. In a series of posts, they're figuring out the fan-favourite everything in the series, whether that be characters, weapons, bad guys, or of course, couples.

As you can see, Tidus and Yuna have taken the spot for the best romance in the series. Admittedly, it isn't the most scientific method of figuring out who the most popular couple is - the winner of each category is decided by the comment with the most upvotes - but it's a clear sign that many fans still adore this pairing, all these years later.

The couple took centre stage in Final Fantasy 10 back in 2001. After this, we got our first-ever direct sequel in Final Fantasy history, with Final Fantasy 10-2. This centred on Yuna, rather than Tidus, and was great for fans of the couple.

Now, they are perhaps best remembered for that infamous laughing scene - which is a beautiful scene that everyone is wrong about. Seriously, watch the full thing. It's cute!

Of course, the wider debate about romance in Final Fantasy will probably never be settled, especially across the whole series. Hell, even if we just focus on the Final Fantasy 7 anthology, we have the classic Cloud/Aerith Vs. Cloud/Tifa debate. It does look like the games have picked a side, admittedly, but that wasn't enough to put it to rest.
