Character relationships?

I kinda wished that your character had some kind of relationship with someone from the Scions or another central character of your choosing or someone who's already set to be romanced by your character like, for example, Alphinaud if your character was a girl then Alisae if you were a guy. I guess something like in FFVII where you can go on a date or something like that. I'd choose Lyse though if there was an option.

Alphianaud is a nice boy but he's a kid, a little young for my character!

I would love for a series of side quests that would allow you to get more personable with the Scions or other important story NPCs.

I know the devs are mostly against the idea of letting us romance NPCs, MSQ or some characters isolated to a romantic sub-quest series, but having affinity quests with popular NPCs would be great. Just friendship quests.

The twins would be a GREAT choice, but I suspect that a lot of the Western playerbase would freak out because of how young they look, and SE seems sadly unwilling to age them even a little. Giving them new unique outfits was a great chance to make some subtle edits to their models, or at least make them a little taller, but they totally let it slide by.

Also who you got to romance would have to be based on player choice rather than character gender, not just because I'd prefer it that way because I'd hate to be stuck with the twin I can't stand just because my character is male...Given that gender is purely cosmetic in this game, and you can change it at will, it would be very weird and potentially cause serious continuity issues to tie character gender to something that could potentially have a major effect on how cutscenes play out.

Persona 5 please.

Why does this request sound like one of SE's April fools?

I would like an option like this. I'm not keen on the EB thing. Requirements for many of those seem counter to my way of things. So something else would be nice.

A neat idea/concept for maybe a future thing, (since the newest FF series seem to have a pairing of main charas, no?) perhaps making an NPC central to an expansion storyline at least our pair. Saved or being saved by, an NPC we can name and create akin to our retainers (sans perhaps the personality thing, SE can deal with a single one perhaps. Though people can be hit or miss with most of the NPCs we do have.) And we can deal with that NPC through an expansion storyline, growing closer and so on.

With or without official relationships, Cirina already is my waifu.

My character is meant to be quite a bit older than Alphinaud (sorry Alisaie) so I wouldn't really be interested. I already felt as though I was cheating on my in-game wife during some of those Aymeric scenes with his scandalous Japanese voice ;p

All of my favourite NPCs are either taken or dead.

It could be cute in the FE/ME sort of way, I guess. But with how SE writes the narrative of the story, including the WoL being a pretty flat character there for players to transpose who they think they are atop it, I feel like it'd be a pretty boring system. Especially if there were limited dialogue options that all sort of mirror each other in their own way, like how a lot of quests give your character the illusion of choice when granting two options.

And... underage characters like the twins is... just wrong on an ethical level, granted they don't look a day over fourteen. Which leads me to: I don't really know if I want to know where the playerbase would go with this.

But if they did implement it, just make all the characters who they deem "available" romance-able/etc... regardless of the WoL gender choice. Those limits are boring and stupid.

Either way.

I'd pick Aymeric.
