FFXIV Popstars? Celebrities?

If this has been posted before, or if someone has already come up with this idea, then my bad..ignore this post, and it will float away..

If not! I thought it would be cool if they added celebrities/popstars in ffxiv! I sort of came up with the idea thinking back to FFXII, where there was a quest for one of the cities you visited and you had to talk to different people(some being wannabe actors) to get a certain kind of money for that specific city.

Maybe they can hold concerts or tours, and you can pay gil to watch it? They can program/make one up once a year(RL) with dates for different cities(in-game) at different times, etc.

I have no idea for the future when/if they open a city from the Garlean Empire. But it would be cool if you can travel to it, and since the Garleans are all about Machina, they can have tvs with news etc in their cities(like NYC). I don't know what do you guys think?

Also FFXI did something like this as an event with a popstar/magic singer or whatnot?

Was the summer event, she was supposed a renown dancer who visited cities once a year to start a play that served some purpose other than entertainment but was kinda fun the first 2 times.

Ha! Yes and if I remember she had to fight an evil "Diva" and you had to cheer her on, that was a cute quest ^^

Fantastical Fraulein Mumor... she fought against... demon king Ullegore if I remember right... and you had to cheer her on so she could win the fight.

The cat is amused =^.^=

F'laminn was a festive cat in the Ul'dah story...until Neille died :/

Would love to see her in a Mumor-esque type storyline lol.

It'd be really cool if SE and/or the localization team included little easter eggs based off of things in the forums. Things like this.

- A doomsayer named Lokien that no one in town will listen to. (see wot i did thar)
- A botanist complaining about grass.
- A child constantly jumping, much to another child's dismay. "Stop being such a kid. It's annoying"
- A person reading a book, who says, "Go away! You're ruining my immersion!"

I'm looking at you, Fernehalwes!

I WHOLLY ENDORSE THIS.

Except for maybe the Lokien one. As much as I don't care for him, doing that just sounds a little mean-spirited.

the problem with this is that it would only inflate some people's already overblown egos.

Eorzean boy band? A Lalafell version of the Beatles? A crazy ex pop sensation Miqo'te with a nervous breakdown and bad alcohol & drug addiction?

I'd pay to see that (*hint hint* Gold Saucer theater where you select the show you want to attend).

You know that one of those Lalafell boy-banders HAS GOT TO have a really deep à la Barry White voice for some sexy solo parts. Possibly some shades, to look over them and wink at all the girls in trance, and an obligatory ziiing when he does so :3

. . . . I sooooo want this now!!! xD

I agree with this Idea ! I think FFXIV should have an "Opera Play" or something similar.
Should play 4 Times a month with a schedule, each month would have It's own "theme and plays" and during Special Events there would be Special "Plays".

This is a really fun idea. It would also be great if they made these kind of npc dev controlled on a regular basis to help bring them alive.

They would need recipes for suits and elegant dresses so we can attend the opera in style. :P
