I guess Natsu was mostly supposed to be that kind of more simple main character like Goku, Luffy and Asta in Black Clover for example.It's part of his approach, I think. Natsu was kind of baked in as having very simple and defined motivations. Which was part of his charm but it always stunted him in some ways. He was built similarly to Luffy in a lot of ways. They're both built without much room for growth.
Making a lot of friends is actually a much more complex and varied motivation. So I think there is a lot more room to play with romantic stuff. If he's going to be pursing that many friendships it would absolutely make sense for some of those to have romantic undertones. Even if it was just the Juvia X Grey kind of thing it would be a huge step for Mashima to do anything like that with a main character.
I love Natsu and he and Lucy are some of my favorite characters ever but yea some more development and change for Natsu could have been nice and hopefully Shiki will get way more of that.
Well with Goku and Luffy except that they get stronger and get new powers they are exactly the same as they have always been i think and most people dont seem to have much of a problem with that and still love those characters so its not like a character must be more complex to be awesome and very cool, charming, fun and lovable.
Goku is the same as he was in the beginning of Dragon Ball Z and Luffy is the same as he was in the beginning of the series.
And no Ace dying did not really change Luffy as a character it just made him wanna get stronger so he could protect his friends and Natsu did the same thing after Igneel died.
