Yeah thats what I've been doing aswell - but while standing there this little idea came to me - like really kneeling down, "placing" the flowers, maybe getting that little quote would be more... satisfying then just discarding flowers.

Also: Yes, I would like that feature for other dead loved ones aswell - still atm I cant think of any other grave that we could go to? Except for the ones at the church in eastern thanlan maybe. Placing flowers in MD for Moenbryda could be a thing I would love to see too!

I'd like to leave flowers at the explosion site of the Prateorium. Gaius deserves that much for being both a powerful and intelligent man, and not being without reasoning behind his actions. I wish he survived. ;~;

Yeah, I couldn't help but sympathise with Gaius. If we'd been granted the option to ally with him then I would definitely have done just that.

Allow us to leave crystals then announce which characters had the most tributes in the next census. Then this information could be used to affect the game later on if enough people feel strongly enough to participate.

(Time to start buying up all of the crystals on the market board...)

Yes please I would love this :) Maybe after enough flowers/crystals we could get a little cutscene with a ghostly Haurchefant that try to cheer us up. This will probably never happen but one can dream. Q_Q But its nice to see how many people truly like him. So sad that they decided to kill him off :(. Never felt that sad and depressed for any FF14 character before.

Haurchefant was framed so much better as a character than the past characters who died. Most of which didn't actually die (I'm sure we all agree the Scions are still wandering around out there in various states of "Oh, Gods, why?"). I actually really liked Moenbryda too and wanted her to stick around but she was only there for a few quest chains, compared to our friend who's been around since patch 2.0.

I knew he was going to die of course. He was just becoming so likable I could feel the game going "Love him! Love him so we can take him from you!" and then before the Vault happened he told the Count his arm would not falter and his shield wouldn't break. I remember almost shouting out my monitor "Don't say that, you idiot, the writers will hear you!" Even knowing he was done for that death still whammied me, though. It probably didn't help that the Vault dungeon itself had left me drained.


It actually bums me out that he's gone because him, Estinien, Ysayle and Alphinaud are my favorites and of those four Haurchefant was the only character who made me laugh.... Okay, well Estinien and Alphinaud can too but I'm not always sure "laughter" is what the writers were going for in those scenes. It's always sad when the character that makes you smile gets axed first. Come back, Haurchefant...you were the only NPC that my character had any on screen chemistry with. Who is going to give me chocobos now? (PS: Anyone else notice in the description that the black chocobo is "more muscular" than you'd expected...Freaking, of course she is...)

I sit by the memorial (it's not his actual grave site) sometimes with the Unicolt then wander off. Having a way to honor him and Moenbryda would be nice, but I'm guessing Haurchefant is going to come up again. Not come back but come up again somehow even if just in side quests. SE knows he's popular.... I actually think he might be the most popular NPC in the game. I haven't met anyone who doesn't at least like him.

So true Ayuhra. Sadly thanks to some bad spoilers in the German achievements with his name in the title I knew that he would die but it still hit me hard. He really was the first NPC that we showed such emotions at the death scene and in my head my character definitely had something going on with him. Like you I also like Estinien, Ysayle and Alphinaud; maybe because for the first time we were not alone on our journey and they did something useful in some quests. To have three of four favorite characters more or less gone and even one that I considered as a really loved one was way over the top, especially since we are only at the beginning of the 3.x series. I really wish that SE would go away with all this tragedy and drama because its kinda start to annoy me a little. There is already enough death and tragedy in Eorzea no need to make more..

If this goes on my poor WoL will so turn into Alastor Moody from Harry Potter: trusting no one and always screaming "constant vigilance". Really how can she still go on after all of this...

I also visit his memorial from time to time..it always brings up all these sad feelings..and always the "why SE why...he was one of the best written characters and so likable.." At least we will get a minion of him...but that will be never enough..really why couldnt they kill one of his brothers...this would have been a great shock for him and maybe even more character development..(yes I will forever remain sour about his topic Q_Q)

Estinien is my favorite character in the game so far so if we lose him as well as Haurchefant and Ysayle then...well Heavensward will truly be Game of Thrones. I also hope the pain train eases up a bit. I can understand killing characters for dramatic effect and to show the world is a dangerous place but stories like Game of Thrones or, say, Les Miserables do get exhausting after a while.

Okay... which one of you prayed too hard and made this to happen?!

Now you have to start feeding him...
