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

Or people who are straight and play the oppoiste sex and still want to romance that sex....

But yeah, a lack of gay options would have me upset

My boyfriend understood. I woke up to the text "Well, now you can leave me for Thancred ; ;" and was like 'um, what?' till I read the post. XD

Seriously though, I would love to see a system like this. I don't think it will happen, but it would be awesome.

Also, blacksmith guildmaster needs more love.

Well, I think it'd be pretty cool to implement, even if it started watered down. Like, only allowing closer friendships between characters or greater understandings of those NPCs.

I kind of like a Favor system to follows up to friendship level.

It would be a nice way to learn more about each NPC's background from before we meet them in FF14ARR storyline.

We meet all these NPCs in the storyline of FF14 and yet we still know little about their past.

They only bothered to show a bit about Thancred's past because we had questions about his knife throwing skills despite being a Gladiator. Of course despite being a GLA those knife throwing skills were from his old life (Basically Cross-class skill) before he switched to GLA class and joined the Scions.

Now I can never be noticed by my Arcanist Kitty-senpai ;_;

I thought i was legit too! Totally reminded me of FF7, and how many times i tried getting a date with Barrett!


Now I'm sad I cant get love from that rocky hunk of a man Titan.

The April's fools joke could also just be a way to see how well a system like this would be recieved. You never know.

Actually we do know. XD The 'April Fools Joke' was that the forum moderator put Naoki Yoshida's profile pic and handle on the profile of everyone on the forum. People went wild giving all kinds of random Yoshida 'Letters from the Producer'. I suppose the secondary April Fools was on people who read stuff from the thousands of faux Yoshida postings and took it seriously. I mean, I thought it was funny and all, but I caught on pretty quick.

I have a feeling it was posted this way to see the response from the players possibly to see positive and negative on an idea they are thinking about doing for real.

There's hope!

It turns out the whole Favour system was a complete fabrication! I know, I know. I wanted it to be real, too. Fans of the system...don't worry! I've set some time aside with the team to discuss my feelings and to beg for it to become a reality. If there are enough burning requests for it, maybe Yoshi-P will...?

Go Bayohne! We're all (almost) supporting your effort, and those few that aren't are irrelevant
