Can we get children?

[Krotoan]

And now my questions for you: For what use do you want have babys? Do you want to have them as minions? Why would you have a baby in a game anyway? The house has a use for me, leveling the chocobo, gardening which results in stuff to feed the chocobo or minions

Sorry for me it has no use and it would just take resources away that the developers could use for actual content.

The idea that because it doesn't appeal to YOU it shouldn't be considered is pretty darn selfish. It's a neat idea and it makes the marriage thing a little more complex and have other attractions. That should be enough for the suggestion. The amount of people coming in and telling the OP that their idea is BAD is unwarranted and unneeded. If you don't like it, it's very easy to say "I would not enjoy this feature and would not use it". There you go, your vote is counted against without any sort of negativity. Nobody is saying "put things on hold to work on this!". It's a feature idea and easy to vote for or against or make polite suggestions either way. I have no "eternal bonding" partner and probably never will in this game, but the idea has merit and is an interesting thread to pursue. Civil discussions are cool!

2. An extension of Khloe's system where we can adopt children and be a mentor or big brother/sister kind of person to them. Maybe they can set up shop as an interactable NPC similar to house vendors. (They sell something but have a stock appearance you can't change) as opposed to retainers who have a customizable appearance.

Also, not really a system but it would be nice to have NPC families and children walking around the housing wards to make them feel a little more alive.

I love this idea and would expand on it. We could take our little charges to appropriate sight seeing locations for rewards. It would encourage players to revisit areas and appreciate the world that was created for us. The child taking damage for whatever reason would insta fail you and you're locked out until the next reset.

Having the orphans go on field trips and seeing them randomly in the world is also a neat idea. It would turn into a new hunt. I know a lot of players enjoyed seeing the girls at costa del sol during the summer festival.

Ok this idea I can get behind.I wasn't big on needing to be married to have kids, much less babies on top of that but adopting Khloe orphans is something that I would encourage the implementation. It doesn't even need full time adoption; you could just take them out for an hour or day. Depending on what job you main, you could teach them the basics of the job. Kid doesn't like fighting? No problem. Teach them to be self sufficient with a DoH or DoL job( imagine teaching one how to fish).

It could be done like a series of beast tribe quest where everytime you reach a bonding level, they age a bit more and become more proficient at their job, giving you rewards at the same time. The final bonding level gives you the choice to encourage the kid to go out into the world and make a name for themselves (you'll never see them again but you'll have the option of adopting another one) or stay and keep an eye on them.

The whole thing would take some refining but that's my ideal version of this suggestion.

True Endgame, change diapers minigame...

god no. I wouldn't touch this with a 50-foot pole. I think some need to go outside the game and try real life instead : there's enough mundane crap to worry about there already, don't need it in game as well.

Ideas you people come up with are getting weirder... keep them coming!

[Niraves]

This is just... no. God no. If you want a childlike character to go fetch stuff for you and carry you inventory crap... Make a Lala retainer.

[Uielyave]

if you want kids, go play Skyrim and adopt some there.

I think for some pple 2 Lala isnt enought x)

Multiple reason why this will never happen:

1) Pedophillia from people (as much as we might not believe it's there, some people are screwed up mentally)
2) Child labor (by that I mean slaves)
3) Basically ingame pets you don't feed and neglect the whole time you're logged off

Why are we having this discussion instead of adding actual content to the game? Go play Sims if you're interested. Go play Skyrim and adopt kids. You can even set fire to them and they won't get mad!
