please stop shipping characters square enix

how come square enix just pushes runar x y'shtola in your face? i get it someone on the msq team wrote too much fanfic about a hrothgar (cat daddy) x a miqote (cat girl) but chill it with the shipping. i would of shipped runar with myself were it not for square enix stealing runar away from me and shipping him with that blind miqote girl. and i am not into polyarmoury so what now? gg square enix you ruined my harem

Not really a fan of the couple tbh; they both can do better.

It feels forced, though they seem to be directly pandering to Twitter these days...

I don't mind it too much. Though I'm half expecting Y'shtola to renege on her promise, more out of necessity than not.

Shipping has been part of the Final Fantasy franchise since FF4, or even prior to that.
I am fine with that.

I know it's possibly a troll thread, but I think Runar/Y'shtola is cute. I'm not very keen on Y'shtola, tbh, but I think they'd balance each other very well. On one hand, we have the extremely intelligent (possibly even genius?), borderline bitchy scholar (as in a scholarly person not the class) who gets so caught up in her own head that she forgets emotions/feelings as a factor for both herself and her comrades. And then we have Runar, who is almost her complete opposite: he's average in intelligence (possibly), he's very kind and considerate of others, and he's a total romantic. I think Runar could ground Y'shtola in a positive way, while Y'shtola could possibly lift Runar up in an equally positive way. There would be, of course, rocky moments where they wouldn't see eye-to-eye and possibly teeter on splitting up if they ever were to get together, but I think they'd pull through.


That being said, when are we ever going to see Magnai find his moon? Lol xD

Obvious solution: Let the WoL flirt with people in dialogue options to bring balance back to the Force

dont even remind me of ff4. the dumb love triangle between cecil, rosa, and kain fueled half the plot.

if cecil and kain gave each other the chance ff4 would have ended in the first minute

It doesn't.

Characters are allowed to have interests—including love interests—that aren't the player.

laughs in golbez

The relationship is written into the story, ambiguous as it may be. Therefore, it is not "shipping".

The OP's faux outrage is based on faulty logic. Again.

Agreed.

It's pretty strange how Square Enix seek to pander to certain organisations yet they still haven't managed to put out a tasteful and obvious relationship between two main male characters of prominence in a Final Fantasy game.

Maybe FFXVI will change that. We'll see.

So you are a troll. First you bitch about a "13 year old boy" now you bitch about a "romance" between two characters? to flush out their "reason for being" ?? to give them more "realness"? the **** wrong with you?

The OPs faux "outrage" is solely to troll.

Not that this is a serious thread, but one-sided crushes are shipping now?

And are we ever going to get mods that actually crack down on trolling?

Mods? Here? What a dream world that would be!

Yeah, SE, stop shipping characters. Leave that to us nerds.

If it makes you happy OP, they currently have a huge long distance issue going on.

I mean, kinda. One-sided relationships are still relationships, after all.

Wow. How heartless can you guys be? They are adorable.

is this a new troll account? guessing maybe the other finally got banned?

I don't know what sections of Twitter you're on, but the parts of XIV Twitter I'm in are very much not a fan of this pairing (granted that's because a lot of them ship Y'shtola/Lyse or similar)

There is hardly any romance in FFXIV. I think Runar and Y'shtola is the only overt ship in the game. I guess maybe Magnai and Sadu too but that's treated more as a running gag.

Otherwise, it's mostly just a few ship teases between the WoL and a character, like the WoL and Alphinaud. Or the WoL and Alisae. Or the WoL and Haucherfant. Or the WoL and Aymeric. Or the WoL and G'raha Tia.

Hey! You took my advice with your user-name!

It's not that new since it's already spammed dozens of threads.

I'm not really savvy about the other forums, but is a lack of mods generally common across FFXIV's forums in general or is it mostly an English forum issue?

Heresy, I know. But she's just not my cuppa tea. At the same time, I can't imagine Scions without her. So, while I'm not keen on her, I do appreciate she exists and everything that she contributes.

Y'shtola would be fine if they'd cut it out with the death fakeouts.
