I was going through my reading page after not much time online and this was fun to think about, so excuse it for being a bit late haha. At first I was like "there's plenty of games like this" but I play a lot of otome games so that's pretty weighted... and I was surprised that there really are not many I could think of. If there's a female protag, she's so often romanceless, interested in a woman, or the male love interest is also playable. But I wracked my brain!
I don't think anyone brought up Bayonetta! (I know shipping her and Jeanne is very popular but I think given [events] of Bayo 3 and how flirtatious they are overall, I'd say Bayo/Luka are pretty much intended canon.)
Lollipop Chainsaw might sorta count, though Juliet and her boyfriend are already in a relationship at the beginning of the game. And I think they still are through the end (you know even though his head gets cut off.)
No one played this and even I'm having trouble remembering but I found The Centennial Case : A Shijima Story to have a really tragic-romantic main pair, though mayyybe that was like, shipping goggles I really liked them and it definitely isn't a major aspect of the game.
Err Immortality. Er. I don't want to say anything about it but it probably technically kinda does. I would not use the word romance but it's technically what you're asking for. Great game. lol.
And this definitely doesn't count because they fall into the "you play both characters" camp, but Vanillaware games tend to be some of the more romantic-minded games imo. Odin Sphere and 13 Sentinels in particular, considering they pretty much pair up every m/f main character.
