If 'Favour' System becomes real...

Is this about a comeback of favoured classes on gear? ^^

I think the storyline concerns would be the biggest thing, though there are other things that would make it difficult as well.

Sounds cool to me, I'd like to see more bonding in the game - general term but I mean it generally. I hope when they add chocobo raising that they feel like your buddy, while I did raid quite a bit in WoW and that was fun and all - I greatly enjoyed just wandering around with -my- pet. While of course favour system would not be a pet (unless you get a special kind of npc, Miners guild? lol) it follows those lines of being connected not just socially but to the game at a deeper level. I get that it is hard and maybe not a pillar focus for an MMORPG but, I'd like it.

I mentioned WoW only because a. pet experience was nice for me, and I hope SE can beat them whether it is chocobo or beastmaster, hopefully both lol and b. I don't raid much in FFXIV, much less time I cannot make time commitments without feeling like a burden to my friends as I will not be able to keep them (also before I wasn't married, now - wife > raid party, so between work and wife I just haven't been so serious but I'm happy :P).

Sorry for the tangent on pets lol, just feel that the umbrella is a connection to the world a bit deeper (developing and maintaining a relationship beyond a step in step out main story) and that both systems fall beneath it.

Just to put more on point into the post, a few ideas I thought could be neat is say you have a strong bond to a few NPCs in Ul'dah and you fail to a FATE out in Thanalan - you have a chance that you might see them wandering the area and raise you or if you're alone for a while you might get help and then of course they return back to their own adventure (or whatever task it was). Maybe fund, build, find npc shops. Stretching out from the system could also build relations with chocobo porters to get them to travel you farther/taken quicker less approved paths. And of course the idea in the april fools of just building a relationship, but things -imo- tend to build an easier appreciated weight to their actions when there is a tangible benefit also associated to it (not required, but helpful).

^ Could use the linkshell for something like that.

Like, say you die out in the overworld. You'd have the option to call for your friends to help you, if you have a favored NPC. One of them would answer and either show up out there and rez you (most) or if they're a faction leader where they're typically not found wandering around, send soldiers out to rez you. Could have a similar thing for calling them to help you in combat, like the Chocobo. The actual NPC if normal, if an important faction leader, they send a retainer to help.

Little stuff like that.

That'd be neat, to that I'd also like to see NPC use the mail system (to you). Would be nice to get a thank you letter, or a follow up quest in the mail. Also with the linkshell idea you could also have the npc ask for help and you can show up to earn extra favour or something (exp, gil, item, what have you).

Tataru: "Eeek!- Help me "player name", I was just mining minding my own business and I'm smack dab in the middle of a Coblyn nest!" "<pos>, you're my only hope!(lol)". Not all need be emergency, perhaps if you are in queue for a long time you are invited to join them in a party of something you queued for (reasonable content only ofc). Or gathering and they invite or ask if they may gather with you (getting an exp bonus or small rate up).

Nao from Mabinogi already has a resurrection system via the NPC Nao, but right now, it's only for paying users or users that somehow get the nao blessing stones. So would be nice. Obviously it would be disabled in anything related to PVP.
