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

All we have to do is get this topic to 150 pages like the fantasia topic,

TIME TO GET TO WORK!

- Always up for deeper character interactons, things that would make us care for them alot more

- It would be nice if whatever NPC we choose becomes a companion, like the chocobo, and we can summon them to fight with us have them criticize our every action while were running around, pick up random items, although it would be funny seing 100 Thancreds or Y'sholtas in mor dhona O_o

The moment they make romance available, I will make and play my lady character and romance Thancred WITH SHEER UNBRIDLED GLADNESS.

I'd prefer a variety of things that can be done with them.

After a certain amount of "favour" they will do some discipline of the hand for you of your choosing.
Once you are max "favour" start asking for you to support a certain habit of theirs and their mood will change depending if you support their habit or not. This can be from wanting gil, food, gear, mats, certain furnishing, etc. It will basically be a weekly quest.
At this point they can also join you in battle as a companion.
If you do enough eventually by the end of the year, real life time, you can have kids. Which can do discipline of the land or you can make them your apprentice of war/magic.

Just my 2 cents.

I wasn't aware Elezen females developed hips...

They're subtle, but they're there. Apparently, Japanese game designers don't like curvy girls. Bastiches.

Players only love you when they're playin'.

I get that you don't want trashy and silly that disrespects the characters. I agree with you there. But I'd love if they did implement it and took it seriously. I think it'd be great for the story and characters. In-game romance doesn't have to equate to waifuism masturbation material.

I can respect this. But i'm in the camp that is just really happy Square Enix is self-aware enough with this sort of material to actually realize it's only really worth an April Fools joke. As much as I question their terrible decisions in the last few years, the ARR developement team gives me hope.


Anyway, i just don't see the XIV characters as the type of ones i'd be taking on romantic Golden Saucer rides. There is no real basis for these types of character interactions, and to just implement them randomly would feel cheap to me.

I don't see where you're coming from about your point, as there are many opportunities to find fulfilment in the sweetness of a romance story with ARR characters. They all have their own personal stories and feelings, and their own feelings and thoughts about your main hero that gives me the idea that they really value you. Something that I could very much see develop into a worthy romance system.

It sounds like 'cheap' is a speculation. After all, we haven't seen an actual romance system, only a joke version.

I really want it to happen pleeeze :3

LOL. Romance is part of human nature. FFXIV characters are no differnt. Of course there's plenty basis for this kind of character interaction. They aren't robots.

For Bayohne's sake, for my sake, and the players' sake in this forum, I request for the Favour system to become a reality down the road of future patches or expansion. I'm absolutely burning to see this implemented. Seeing how those screenshots and those quests and requirements were played out, it would be interesting as a sort of side-quest adventure with the NPC you are trying to bond with more. It would also be a great Fantasia sink for your benefit and the fan-base's benefit. You said it yourself in the April Fool's joke. "Exploding demand for Fantasia!" Please consider it, at least! Thank you.
