I have seen a few people post a masterlist about their pairings but I am going to leave the floor open and give me a series and I will tell you the pairings I like and why I like them.
Well I have actually two OTPs for the series-- and the first one actually is about your icon-- Emil/Marta.
I was drawn to it because in a way I saw Emil as a very withdrawn person-- very emotionally stunted and pretty much unable to figure out who or what he was... then there is Marta who sort of gives him that reason-- who helps him to find himself, and she does it in a way that is totally Marta-- balls to the wall and unrepentant. So is it any wonder that he was drawn to her, because she gave him a sort of freedom. Seriously, their last talk on the bridge was one of the most heartwarming parts in the game-- just because it gave you real insight into who they were and what they had become together in the course of the journey together.
Sad thing is, Dawn of the New World is one of those games that few people give a fighting chance which is a shame because it's such a beautiful game beyond itself. I mean, I won't compare it to the first game, but I thought that it did well enough on it's own and I wish people wouldn't compare it to the previous game.
Second pairing is a not so canon one-- Regal and Zelos-- I don't know why I like that pairing so much, I think it was fic that did it for me-- not to mention it was the dynamic of them-- the serious older criminal and the impetuous chosen/traitor. Granted I do like Zelos and Sheena as well, but it's a guilty pleasure.
Of course where would I be without a healthy bit of girl girl, I am definitely an equal opportunity shipper-- and thus I really do like Sheena/Raine as well-- but the characters are such great characters that you could pair all of them up with any of the others and it wouldn't be amiss (Except Emil and Marta, I am sorry-- they are pretty much my OTP and it's almost impossible for me to pair them up with anyone else... though I can do so with Lloyd and Colette, pairing them with each other, or others)
Of course, for the baddies-- Decus/Alice, because let's face it-- those two were pretty kickass in their own right (I enjoyed them as antagonists)
I also have this crack ship of Richter from Symphonia and Duke from Vesperia-- and how they could definitely rule the world if they wanted to-- Richter takes care of all of the main aspects of villanry while Duke just cultivates a huge menagerie of magical creatures (Yes, Duke is my favorite antagonist ever from the Tales series)
