NPC romance

I'll take Cirina. :P

That perfectly fine. Sure you would not be the only one who would bring Cirina out into the world. Thought I would expect a lot of Y'shtola and Thancred running around the world. I could also see a lot of Alisaie. Which I would love to see this over out battle mounts. Hell I would rather team up with Midgardsormr over a chocobo. If they did this stuff. I would be using the companion system more then I am. I would be perfectly happy with npc companion. Fact npc companions might be better then npc romance. Square should take a few of the things Star Wars the old Republic got right.

FFXI already has this, they know how to do it if they want to do it. Certainly it would be used if the game had it but it's not really a high priority at this point. Your squad are other players for most content.

I know I just wish they would bring this out on one of those odd patches that do not have all the big content stuff that the even patches do. It should be easy to copy the code from FF11 and post it in the right spots in FF14. Add in some npc the devs know people want to spend time with.

that's not how programming works. they are are different games with different systems. the AI for FFXI can't make FFXIV NPCs function.

Exactly, FFXI and FFXIV use completely different graphic engines for one, to say nothing of differences in server code and the like. Having said that, we do have a couple of FFXI armour sets in FFXIV already (the 'Wootz' sets for tanks and LNC/DRG) so it is possible to add FFXI armour to the game.

However I suspect it's not as simple a task as it appears to be, and probably isn't even 'copying armour models across', more likely they model the FFXI armour in the new engine completely from scratch (or at least the textures, the aforementioned Wootz tank set is far far more detailed texture wise than the FFXI Koenig's armour it's based on).

But I'm getting away from the thread topic here.
