Am I the only one feeling very sad about the "Favour" system being an april fool?

You're not the only one. I think it's pathetic that players think they need to get their romantic fix from pre-scripted dev one-liners from poster child NPCs, rather than simulating the experience through real roleplaying with other players. How can they expect to feel like they're Thancred's one-and-only when every other player in Eorzea is standing around him getting the exact same message?

wtf? this is why it won't ever be implemented. you guys suck out the fun in everything. it's suppose to be fun. we'll have cute and fun cutscences too and maybe every now and then, give presents. seriously, there needs to be more fun things like this in the game but nope, we can't because you guys make like it's going to turn out into porn or something. -_-
*sigh*oh well. it didn't even had to be like "romance" but maybe some friendship levels to grow for our npcs.
idk abt you but i kinda wanna get closer to my scion friends...

Wait Alphinaud....? I sincerely hope you're under 12 to consider Alphinaud eye candy....

I'm pretty sure he's older then 12. But who cares? I was joking and I was just giving some attractive examples like they put sultana and tataru up there. And they look 5. Chill out. I'm a Thancred kind of gal.

Serious question though...
How old is Alphinaud?

Why does it have to be exclusive to romance? It'd be great to get to know your fellow scions and get closer to them and unlocking side story quests based around them depending on your "favour" with them. And even if it was who cares about every other player doing the same thing? We already are.. you're the hero in the main story quests, the rest of people you party with for 8 man main story from your PoV is a bunch of other adventurers that you've rounded up to help you.

I don't see why we would need to have a whole in-game system that lets players have affairs with NPCs, but it would be cool to see something where, say, you could learn more about Thancred's or Yda's past, and get a neat little ring or other accessory as an award.

Serious question though...
How old is Alphinaud?

I would say quite young. They're the grandchildren of Louisoix, so I would say young adults at their oldest - probably closer to 16 or 18.

Who cares how old he is? He looks 12 and thinking of him as eye candy is pretty sick. The Padjal are immortal children, and likely very old. But if you're a person currently crushing on one of them and you're older than 11 or 12, then you need to seek help. Alphinaud is no different.

They're Elezen, and his sister hasn't really put on chest or hip development, so I would guess quite young, despite their precocious mental development.

We're going to add something that could actually be pretty awesome.


Hah, just kidding. April Fools.

[TeaTimeBear]

Doesn't bug me one bit.

But to the person who said that it wouldn't lead to fap/waifu material you must be out of your mind it ALWAYS leads to that.

[Faiyez]

I was already thinking about unsubbing while looking over the blog post. Then I saw the bit about Garuda. Then I glanced over the date on my desktop. With a sigh of relief, I put my mind back at ease.

I am so glad this is not real.

[Orophin]

or hip development

That would be like every post-Calamity citizen in Eorzea. :P
