Tales of Symphonia 2, Dawn of a new world, guy with confidence issues manages to score a hot chick who is illogically head over heels for him and spends the whole game making ''comedy'' flirtations to him.
Tut, "scoring a hot chick" and ending up together are two very different things. My point was that female characters are not left to decorate the main character's side like the rest of the environment, you can have them as party leaders and they are important to the main plot, not just an extra story because the game must have romance.

All the main characters are in some way, dull to a point where we as players can project ourselves onto them pretty easily, so it reaches out to us as gamers and fits our ideals more than a females.
Not quite true, many games have insightful male leads or even reverse situations of your list (e.g. Trails in the sky, where amnesiac Joshua travels with his (not really) sister, Estelle, which is 100% female romance).If you were referring to just Tales, Cress didn't show any particular interest towards someone except the final boss; even Zelos switched from comic relief "hit on everyone" to noble with issues, and Kratos was a no-nonsense guy from the beginning.

What's truly aimed towards guys anyways?
