That's what's unfair about your question. It's sure to make me want to marry. lol

Slightly interesting concept, but rather than any childbirth stuff I'd rather see something like the ability to get married, live together in a same house perhaps, and just raise a chocobo. If having a kid is insistent, allow adopting a kid. Since Dalamud fell you can be certain there's probably plenty of orphaned children if you really want to "adopt" one. But overall I think it's better to leave the parenthood mechanics strictly to chocobo raising.

I'm a roleplayer too when I say this but it feels like a mechanic that's not really needed at all.

Bruce Wayne was an orphan. This idea has merit!

Like I said, I dont know where you are from but sex is a pretty big topic (even though its extremely normal.. lol) and if you added even a nod of sexual relations in an mmo, you'd get quite the press, SE would really have to be dedicated to the idea else they would get a lot of shit for nothing. Single player games are different because the relation is fake (person to computer, not person to person), you'd just get made fun of by some of your non-gamer friends or your wife for picking the alien in mass effect... .. :P

As well as losing some of the younger generation because their parents wouldn't want their child playing a game where they could make such choices (you can disagree with their choices but that doesn't stop what they will do). I think your statement "you dont have to do it" is quite applicable for those out of the house, but I do think SE is going to target the 13+, not the 18+.

I really do like your idea and I love rpg games that let you rp many elements logically - but for this game I think you should try to adapt it (like chocobo babies/pets, or perhaps making a family from existing 'aged (non baby)' players).

I don't want to make relations between game characters and having it being a mini-game of what to do in the bedroom. Not for me. Just keep the game as it is.

Lol I dont think OP ever suggested to make it a mini-game. Even talked about doing it tastefully which I appreciate.

But the game target audience is too young, literally and mentally and the rest are mostly casual people (either dont care to think about or dont want to have to think about- hence so many vanity suggestions abound (at least from forum appearance)). So the idea falls a little flat right there. But I do believe you can adopt a lot of these ideas in raising your chocobo, certainly having emotional screen play and unique screens for couples would be cool, imo.


Like I said to him, I think his idea has substance and place- its just not here.
