LET ME MARRY MY RETAINER!!!!

Estinien would be high on my list if that were the case. If only so I can swoon at his heavenly voice.

But, I think having characters unique to the romance quests would be easier in that you being romantic with an MSQ character may hinder the narrative later on. I mean, imagine if you were dating a Scion and 2.55 happened. I'd be a bit more bent on getting my lover back ASAP, and anyone with Haurchefant or Ysayle would lose their minds.


Having NPCs outside the main scenario would also be a great opportunity to expand on lore, especially for the different race's lifestyles and backgrounds.

@Ametrine: I agree. I would love to have the option for NPCs like Haurchefant but I am already heartbroken by what happened, no need to break it even further. And I am also not sure if they would make every NPC adventure sexual. Could you imagine the rage if a character is only interested in men/women?

So it would be way better to just allow retainers to be romanced thus having no problems with any gender or the narrative. Make it a cutscene with other NPCs as guest, no need to use the existing wedding for it. I am already bonded to another player and was bonded before that also..the first one did not end well, and people change so it would be nice to just marry a NPC and dont have to worry about any stress. Heck if we could customize our squad we could just marry one of them since we will run dungeons with them some time in the future.

The quote above is exactly what Yoshi-P explained in an interview a few months ago when it comes to NPCs from MSQ. Players will get very attached to certain characters, and if they die, well, Yoshi-P and his crew better hide. As much as I really want to marry Ser Aymeric, it's never going to happen because of story plot reasons XD (However, since Yoshi also stated that it's the player's choice to decide on who they fall in love with and what kind of relationship they have, *coughsaymericandrenareacouplecoughs*)

As for us marrying our retainers, eh I don't know. I never had that kind of feeling towards my retainer.

They didn't have any regrets killing Moenbryda and i don't see them hiding from me on the most remote location on earth.
To me it proves they didn't care that much about her tbh, nobody cares about femroes, not even devs...

Her death was pretty quick. It was like 'oh hai there, I'm BFFs with you guys! Long time no see! Let's have lots of adven- BLEG!'

*Cough, only there to make up for the fact they put Minfillia in the Mogstation when she should have been the reward for completing the 3.4 chain, cough*

[Ametrine]

Moenbryda is sadly an underdeveloped plot device. She came, she left her mark, and she went out like a hero. The fact Urianger and Yda are still mourning her even now shows she at least had some genuine importance. Not that it makes her death suck less or anything.

Of course, I'm going to miss Minfillia despite how much hate she gets.

We could just use the power of I M A G I N A T I O N.

The bond between me and my luscious twin Roegadyn retainer ladies goes beyond marriage. They'd live, fight, and die for me, as long as the pay is good. I almost wrote a fanfic where my character was ambushed by a lone Garlean soldier, and my character, rather than kill him, reposed him into slumber and had his two retainers inflict mind-warpingly painful torture methods on the Garlean, to interrogate him on the whereabouts of his leader.

But that fanfic never happened.

[Zanmato]

Sure, I mean why not?

[Syncroniam]

Yea i really want to get marrie with my retainer as well, she is an amazing Au Ra

[Gemina]

Hmm. I never looked at my retainers that way. If anything, I'm always questioning what my BTN retainer does for 18 hours when she brings me back an apricot instead of the minion I asked for. I'm constantly threatening to fire her, but then she throws the sad face/guilt trip thing, and I just can't do it. She's evil, and I know it's passive-aggressiveness for making her go after rare seeds throughout the day.
