The “endings” in Growlanser managed to actually annoy me more than anything else. They’re just too short. You get hardly any payoff for getting the girl you want, since it’s like 2 minutes worth of cutscene that really wasn’t that interesting. Persona 3 did much better (much much better) on just about every aspect.
Ar Tonelico fits the bill. It’s nowhere near as good as Persona 3’s badassery, but it’s a good game, and the social aspect is quite strong.
You could also look at Fire Emblem titles, but the social effects are minimal in most of those.
