\o\ Finding your Sweet Lover (Or Nightmare) /o/

[Cleftobismal]

Out of curiosity what would yall think of FFXIV having a match making system to pair up two partners to be potential EB lovers? [When I mean potential, you'll just receive a "hook up status" and if you get along you can advanced into "lovers" till you wish to finally EB]

Of course the matching would revolved around the questions answered and the preference listed (Time zone/Race/Age(?)/Etc).


Even odd ball questions such as:

"Ser Ayermic X Estinien or Sidurgu X Estinien or Ser Ayermic X Sidurgu" (Don't take this seriously. lawl)



I dunno. Seeing that NA is not the only forum board that has a Marriage Hook up thread with over 1million views. It may be worth the investment to put in something interesting. What do yall think? /o/

Pretty much this.

You're better off meeting someone the old fashioned way. Instant hookups rarely work out from what I've observed.

Yup. They happen, and they happen a lot. But they also end just as quickly.

A loooong time ago, another player said the same thing when someone suggested in game marriage.


I shall say no more.


But if you truly think its such a bad idea, give me a reason why. o/

That IS the reason why.

I wouldn't say those are the intentions. Unless I am missing something and it's custom for EB mates to actually bond irl. Otherwise, I think those who want to experience the EB ceremony could benefit from some kind of content that puts potential partners together. However, designing the format of it like a dating website would not be the way to go. I think it should be something pretty simple, and those looking for a marriage partner can put it out there similar to party finder. You can specify desired race, gender, clan and so forth and it will filter out all potential suitors. Send a tell, run a dungeon or two with this person, go to the gold saucer, whatever it is to interact and either proceed, or drop them.

Ok, so that sounds exactly like a dating site. I dunno, I still like the idea of something like this, and if I was to get married, I wouldn't want to do it with some random person just for the glamour. I'd actually like to meet a potential friend to do stuff in the game with.

This sounds good for two reasons. Firstly that's pretty much how partner seeking works. You spend time with people who don't have immediate turn-offs. Secondly, if it's kept simple it won't take too much developer resources. I'm not sure I want any "hook up" icons and whatnot. Perhaps the Party Finder could have it's own segment for EB seekers. They already have cross realm technology so it would be a channel to reach a lot of people.
