In memory of Yugiri...

With the death of Yugiri actress Sian Blake, I feel it is appropriate to memorialize her in game. Perhaps the best option is to convert a few gravestones in the corner of the yard near the Church of Saint Adama Landama in Eastern Thanalan to those of Sian Blake and her two children. Perhaps with an interactive plaque with a nice eulogy. They don't have to break the 4th wall if they use her real name. How can I go about making this a thing?

That makes me think, did SE ever adress her death and give their condolences?

I think it'd be nice to have a portrait of Yugiri for our houses.

I am sure they did and I am sure it was in private. If she is survived by anyone it would be words for those people, not a public display for our consumption. I think this would be the right course anyway and I have faith they did the right thing.

This is so sad. My condolences to her family. I hope she does get immortalized in the game somehow (real name ofcourse). I like the gravestone idea.

I really wanted to log in and take out my Sun minion and hold a candle lit vigil for Sian. Unfortunately my ISP is incredibly unstable today. It would be great if our community could get together and make this vigil happen.

My most heartfelt thoughts, prayers and wishes go out to Sian's family.

That would make sense yeah and i have faith they did.

No, no, Not sorry, and no. it is a shame that this sort of thing happens. but Yugiri is not dead, No official candle lit ceremony required. Don't take this as apathy, I just don't believe it is the appropriate thing to do. If you want to, go for it, but don't ask for a shrine or anything in game. It's not respectful to her and her family and. it's not canon.

Yugiri still has her other voice actresses, so she isn't dead yet. It feels a big loss though for me, even though I've never heard her EN voice before because I always use the JP voice. I hope justice will be served.

I'm with this guy, nothing needs to be done in game as it has nothing to do with the game. Sad that it happened but it will not effect the game in any way as one of the other voices actresses can come back or they will get a different one.

In loving memory of Sian Blake, we will miss your beautiful voice!

They can simply add "In Loving Memory of Sian Blake" or something similar at the end of the next credits roll.

I don't like the gravestone idea, it feels a bit morbid. They'll have a memorial to them in the real world.

Just found out about this a few minutes ago and don't even know how to put what's in my mind into words. It's hard enough when we lose characters we care about in the game but when someone truly loses their life, someone who brought so much joy to us in the form of Lady Yugiri, it's beyond heartbreaking. And the loss of her children is just horrific. I agree, Square should most definitely immortalize her in some way to acknowledge her contributions and help keep their memory alive.

This. I know people mean well. But think of their family we don't need her passing plastered over everywhere.
You guys saying "my condolences" is enough.

I think people misunderstand the point of vigils and memorials. They are meant to allow people to grieve and also to allow them to celebrate a life.
In the case of the latter, that is why I chose to hold a memorial in game for Sian.
I wanted us to come together and remember Sian's accomplishments. Many people gathered to honor her life that deserves to be celebrated. Hers was a voice that brought us together and brought so much joy to many people.

I agree with this. It would be nice if they'd add a message to the credits or some such, but an ingame shrine seems inappropriate.

It may be kinda rude to say but I wonder who will be the next Actor for Yugiri.......

I love her voice, what I worry is due to change of Voice Actor, they not going to replace the previous Voice of Yugiri right?

A memorial in game is all nice and good, cause that's about all one should do to pay tribute. We Thank the VA for the voice she had provided, at best add "In memory of (...)" in credit, but no tombstone, nothing in game...

Can you imagine how lonely her soul would be...left at a digital grave and only a handful people who remembers will visit until they unsub due to lack of content or repetitive grinds...

As others have stated it's inappropriate, you mean well but just having the Yugiri minion out and thoughts to her family is enough.

I agree that mentioning (and thanking) her in the credit rolls would be both more appropriate and heartfelt. While the vigils were a rather understandable and touching way to express our grief as a community, this is the best way to remember Ms. Blake and her accomplishments in the long term, at least IMHO.
