Any games with a good bodyguard romance? More specifically Adventure or JRPG games where you play as a hero protecting some maiden but you can care about the interactions between the two?

Well, dunno about any proper game, but I know Grisaia no Kajitsu, Yumiko's route have you as her body guard and things pick up from there.
Ico have the bodyguard function but I wouldn't say it's exactly romantic.
I hope some anons can post more, since that's also my desire

Consider playing The Last Story. One of the better JRPG romances, that sadly doesn't get talked about very much.

You got a chick that legit loves you to the point of addiction, just marry her already. It's a damn shame they gave her the shortest of all routes, two fucking scene lead-up when everyone else has like 7.

In that case, the reason people usually want that is probably to achieve something they never had the chance to achieve in real life. Video games are usually pretty good to give you augmented experiences towards things you'd probably never experience otherwise, like love.

Suikoden V's main character is a prince whose bodyguard is also his romantic partner but I wouldn't say it's a good romance; she's mostly annoying, also it's a reversal of what you're looking for.

>Two leadups
It makes sense if you pay attention to the context of those leadups. Chris for example, which doesn't really get on with you (and you her) has the most. Those leadups are protag learning to/realising they like the girl. Miyako is super into you and the protog isn't exactly hating her either, so it makes sense there's little buildup.

The sequel gives all of the 5 girls an extended epilogue to the end of the game. It's not much, but it's nice to be there. The meat to Majikoi S is the epilogue to the Final Route in the first game, and then a few alternate reality paths where certain events from the first game don't happen that give you paths with the new girls.
Fandisc A-1 is the best; you get a route with Azumi.

Anon is right, though, more than a waifu VN Majikou seems to have an story, much like Grisaia no Kajitsu, and the focus isn't just getting the waifu but fix them and fix yourself.
If it was a nukige without an harem route, then you should be mad, but not a proper VN.

Understandably. Both were great games (as was the third one that came out of Operation Rainfall, Pandora's Tower, which was sadly even more overshadowed), but Xenoblade definitely got all the hype. It helps that it was a first-party Nintendo release, while the other two got low-key third-party releases.
Last Story is definitely worth playing, especially if you're looking for an above-average videogame romance. It's also a solid game. Come to think of it, Pandora's Tower is definitely a "boy protects girl" story too, though both story and gameplay in that one are… unusual..

Second game is split into epilogues for the firsts game and an alternate route that leads into the third part, where the harem hijinks truly start.

In case anyone wanted the last story, I found a pastebin with an undub and working mega links. Honestly I'm surprised it was this easy to find considering how old this game is, and that it's an undub.

In Dragon Quest VIII you play as a guard for a king and his daughter, and at the end you marry the daughter. The only catch is that she's turned into a horse for most of the game.

>Just read a book
But video games make you feel more like you're actually apart of the game's story and world. It's the same reason people play H games instead of just watching porn.

I usually hate romance in media, whether movies, games, or television. Too much of it is really bad and forced to me so I sperg every time there's an inkling of it. That said, even I still need to dip into it every now and then in hopes I will find a decent one.

Romance vidya that only consists of reading text, yes.
But if you can have direct control of some kind (giving gifts, touching, interacting, etc.) that's far more of a personal feeling that just reading a romance novel.
It all depends on the execution and what kind of autonomy the player has.
