    I don't care to see a dating sim-style thing in XIV just because I know the options would be too limited, and the developers are too cowardly to let us go all the way, if you know what I mean. However scenes where the WoL is shown having an actual human relationship with the Scions, eating, drinking, relaxing are always nice to see when there's downtime in the story.

    If it's relegated to a fun side quest series, and the characters only pop in the MSQ here and there, that would mean the devs could give us those extra romantic events without it potentially damaging or severely limiting the main story or becoming too complex with having to write so many extra layers of text or cutscenes if you're hitched with a fellow Scion or former leader character.

    But honestly I would expect small things like, if you hook up with Urianger, you find him hanging in your inn rooms with a few items scattered around that are his stuff. Like a telescope, and some astronomy charts. He'd have a few bits of dialogue reflecting current events if he's found there. When you hop in bed he climbs in, too, and when you wake up he gets out with you.

    That kind of stuff. The kind of thing you usually start seeing in the sim games that have relationships.
    I would be really grateful if they would add just small flavors, like you said. An NPC appearing in the inn sounds fun, too.
    They don't even need to pay for voice acting in that way lol.

    I feel a lack of connection between Wol as a player and NPCs. I don't feel like I'm actually living in the world among the NPCs immersively.
    So I'd love to see something for RP players or casuals like me, as well as for raiders.

    As much as I want a romance system, the majority of players might want improvement in the core content like raiding, writing, or multiplayer rather than a big new addition.

    So I think if the addition is easy to implement and helps expand the player base, it might be fine.
    Like not something changing the game, but a tiny improvement of the immersion or RP, which are already XIV's main factors.

    Since the point of playing RPGs is to live another person's life by taking the role of someone, whoever you want to be, I think it's not unnatural to want to have a relationship with someone in the game. That's why I love games.

    It's the same thing that you say to crafters about why you don't cook in your real life, lol.
    I want to do it in FFXIV as WoL, but I hate doing it in real life as me.

    I'd rather not, not least of all is because of the lack of good options among the female Scions. You either get Y'shtola, whose entire line of thinking the last two expacs is how she can get back to Runar, Alisaie, who's underage, or lalafell women. They might as well just make an otome game spinoff for people that want that.

    i would like it if its done right. but that would need a lot of work. so i rather want them to focus on the more dire problemd this game has

    without fun jobs none of the content is fun!
    jobs should have their full rotations on lvl 60 or 70! for a better low lvl experience.
    for satisfying glam builduing we need 5 basic glamplates + 2 more for each class / job
    pls give us a proper glam collection like every other mmo has.
    pls upgrade the gear from normal raid and also alliance-raid by 10 ilvl each.
    pls add old glowy ex trial weapons for new jobs!
    and for gods sake pls give as the ability to preview any hairstyle on our own character!

    It seems like there aren't enough options for someone who likes women. We need more wives.

    I kinda hoped the Valentine event would have some fan service for someone like us.
    It would be nice if you could summon an NPC and watch a cutscene of them chatting or eating cake during the event. I mean at least for me.

    Honestly the lack of eligible women in the main cast is probably the biggest hang-up. As a woman that is attracted to men that exclusively plays female characters, it's often a blindspot for me personally.

    I think about how I never got Harvestella because the gane had three male romance options but five female. Same problem.

    We lost both Minfillia and Lyse, so who would we add for those who prefer women? Sphene? Mikoto?

    And Mikoto has a huge crush on Cid, so I'd rule her out unless they're willing to scrap that bit of characterisation for her.
