If 'Favour' System becomes real...

[Duelle]

Description of Tokimeki Memorial: FFXIV Edition

I vote no on relationship bombs. It would make favors harder content than coil or any raid.

I mean, can you imagine it?

Player 1: "I dedicated 3 months of my life wiping day after day to clear <insert equivalent of Final Coil>"

Player 2: "I got Minfilia's true ending"

Player 1: "Ok, you win"

Garuda's Response to people asking her out:

You'll have to be branded and become my personal servant before I go out with you. *everyone who agrees gets a green garuda tattoo on their upper back similar to the meteor survivors.*

Garuda always seemed to me the type that would want her chosen man to rise up and become an equal to her. Kind of like the borg queen or those really bossy girls in certain types of anime/dating sims. The one that would treat the guy like crap to goad him to surpass her expectations.

Shiva's Response:

To have the honor of going out with me... you must first know thine own struggle. You must become an outcast, of all your family and friends. Once you have returned, I shall brand you, as I did others... and we shall take to the depths of the cold reaches of Hydaelyn, and there, we shall repopulate. Of course, I will have to turn you into solid ice once I'm through with you.

Shiva actually strikes me as the type that would ignore relationships because of her dedication to her goal (the fact that she's already been married puts her in a VERY interesting character archetype, too). That means the player would have to make every effort to get close to her, eventually chipping away at her focus on her task. A sort of variation of the "melting the ice queen" story type.

I want this if only for Harchefaunt.

I want this if only for Harchefaunt.

I'm pretty sure we've already won Haurchefant's affection even without a favor system.

[BreathlessTao]

Yes, yes, yes. Do it, SE. Please.

Honestly I think adding an option to "romance" the main npcs might be a bit too complicated story-wise (i.e. why is Thancred still stalking Higiri after last night?! that cheating jerk! ).

Don't ruin my dreams of having Minfilia be my waifu!

Or Kan-e-Sena...or Raya-O-Senna...hmm...

[Duelle]

Raya-O-Senna...hmm...

Since that moogle keeps going on about how her attitude is what keeps her from getting a boyfriend, I'm figuring she would be the type that would probably give you a LOT of errands to run for her. Mostly to drive you off at first, only for her to discover that your companionship has grown on her (going to the eventual "please keep coming back and doing stuff for me" character arc). She would basically get used to having you around. Might even have some cutscene where you don't show up and she goes out looking for you or something.

Yes, I think about this stuff too much.

Am I really the only one who would jump into Hildibrand's arms just for the hilarity that his quests would bring?

But I don't think -romance- should be a part of this system for 2 reasons;
1)We are already getting an in-game marriage system for players to marry our characters to each other.
2)Having a favor system that lets us get attached to more than one character will let us experience more quests and gain more rewards, similar to beast tribes. I would certainly like to learn more about many of the side characters, not just pick one based on the rewards or go with my favorite at the cost of losing stuff.

This would be basically you helping Hildy out on a more personal level (since we are currently dragged in to watch the insanity rather than directly be part of it). Like....you continuously help him out, he comes to depend on you and respect your input. Eventually you suggest you want more, he reveals he's thought about it but didn't say anything out of professionalism. Then Godbert's wife comes into play. 'cause if you're gonna jump into Hildy's arms, you have to keep in mind his mother has to approve of you. :O
