    pass on the talking, for the very reason that whatever voice actor they choose.. it will not sound how you want it to.

    so.. pass...romance with the WoL? why? we already have that whole puppy dog hero worship from Graha.. we dont need another starry eyed straggler...thank you.

    They are Speaking for themselves, as well as others, and also I.

    and it isn't entirely cause people hate the idea.

    There just isn't enough of multiple things for it.

    For voices, if they added that today or in the future, they'd either need to find voices close enough to EVERY SINGLE VOICE TYPE, FOR EVERY SEX, FOR EVERY RACE THE WOL/D CAN BE.

    Much easier/simply done, If the game was from scratch, but then you'd have a bunch of VA on Retainer who may/may not be good enough for the job now or later.

    And then, like many Open World RPG games out there, the moment the characters gained a voice, it received backlash, cause it clearly limited what the character is.

    <Unless the story was never your own characters, but that of the companies.>
    Examples being Nate/Nora Fallout IV.

    Or how Protags are at times even joked about being Mutes, like in V/Online. (Or how we are Serial Nodders).


    Romance for good or ill, just isn't the type of game.
    If they had less tech debt, or could of been planed as so from the start.
    It would have them implement for many different scenarios, if they are fine with many, none. or if you had expressedly created conflict.
    <Which then begins to chafe with the story they plan to make. Hence forth its a Variable that is untenable. More so, since it was never planned atm>

    And don't let any of the above feed your interests in these concepts any higher.

    We can imagine perfect systems outcomes and etc, but that is ignoring the fact how the effort to implement them into XIV as it is RN is too much to ever ask. When Players rate different wants to different priorities.

    If many of us wanted any of these. it would never be on the Mandatory to do list.

    Edit:
    Also, Golbez and Zero is just pure Headcannon on your part, at most the two are Allies. They are not even friends, but people with a new mutual goal.
    Their bonds may grow, but as far as their tales have ended, they are just allies.
    (And you cannot attribute her "holding him accountable" like if it was some lovers whimsy)

    Ryne and Gaia while clear reference to other Pairs in FF titles. Is left open enough that players who have not played said titles can infer enough.
    Most agree they are, but no one will ever push it explicitly.

    Also, another point to before, if there was a Romance option. It would open yet one of multiple pandoras boxes. That would either force them to retcon, or force them to break existing potentials apart. We already know how some feel about Miss Rhul. Let alone how it would shift their focus from the overall, to the idea of the characters relations asides what the story cares for.

    Golbez and Zero are classic love at first site story. Remember it Durante asked her to join their group, because he fell for Her the moment he saw her. He was kitten by her courage, and also compassion to help others. Zero was scared at first, and a thousand years of drama caused the two to become lover turned enemy. However after the final defeat of evil (Zeromus fight), they realized they loved each other all along. Otherwise they will go their separate way, because if they actually really hated each other, they will not team together to restore the 13th dimension. So no, it is not a headcanon the story is very clear.

    1. More dungeons than 5.

    During leveling, what I wish to look forward is instead of 5 dungeons (91, 93, 95, 97, and... 99), we get 7, so there is a trail or a dungeon every leveling level. This makes the excitement much bigger, and you can play combat more oftenly.

    2. Warrior of Light talking

    Anyone getting goosebumps when the Warrior of Light talked at the end of Shadowbringers? I'm not the only one, I know... Imagine if Warrior of Light can talk again and more oftenly. That would make it more immersive, knowing that... my character is finally talking and not just nodding.

    3. Revealing Erenville's love interest

    I just have a feeling that Erenville has a love interest, and well know in Dawntrial. I'm ultra ultra excited to know if Erenville maybe likes a man, a woman, or even the Warrior of Light. I can see Erenville totally falling for Warrior of Light, and if so that confirms he is a bisexual, which is the first in Final Fantasy's history (after Dion in FF16, the first gay).



    Erenville and WoL, the next couple to be introduced after Golbez and Zero?

    4. Beastmaster training pets to follow everywhere

    If Beastmaster can train pets that can follow everywhere, like a Companion, that would be cool as Heck. It would be like Chocobo, but with different abilities, like rabbit finding treasure in Eureka. At first, we have 5 pets that can capture by Beastmaster. But each patch adds a new pet. You can then carry the pet to any dungeon or trail, so that they are like a second part of your job for everyone that can Heal, Damage, or even Utility.

    5. Deleted guildleve roulette

    Guildleve roulette is so disappointing, and each day I find it the most worst roulette to do. (Yes, I have OCD and have to do all) What you do is go in, become a Lv 10 with No Abilities on your hotbar, than kill a gobbue that doesn't threat you any way. At the end you get only 500 XP. They better delete guildleve, and make space for another type of roulette that is more fun, like a Bozja roulette.
    Coming to Netflix, Final Fantasy XIV the Series. A new CGI serie, futuring the Warrior of Light and company.

    Not necessarily (though this is probably a bit beyond the scope of the original point)

    This is probably a better use of playersexual as you can play either gender but only your unique character canonically exists in the world

    So if you play a male WOL and erenville shows romantic attraction to you and nobody else he could easily be portrayed as either bi or gay, if you play a female WOL he could be portrayed as straight or bi, since we know that he will show romantic attraction to you regardless of gender (in this theoretical example) it’s most likely he would be actually bi but since this is never represented in the game to the WOL who only sees one half it’s probably better to use playersexual so to speak

    It’s also another reason why I don’t think romances would work in this game, because playersexual romances always feel forced and lifeless

    Big no on 2 and 3. Why would they force add romance, when you can already marry other player characters?

    Not to mention, I have zero interest in Ereville, and would get pissed, if the game forced him on me. G'raha is bad enough

    No thanks to the romance unless it's completely optional. Raha's weird hero worship of the WoL is bad enough, I don't need a bunboy fawning over me as well.
