Yes, I blew 1M gil on an outdated item just to make it look like I have a real kitchen. And it looks awesome.

Point is, why SHOULDN'T they add this? People who already spend a ton of time on the game are doing so for other things, and adding this little feature isn't going to make them throw their whole lives into the game. Some of us just like that touch of familiarity; I'd totally name the in-game kid after my actual kid, and this one wouldn't have diapers to change! And I don't play while she's awake anyway, so it's not like I'm going to be this horrible mother, nurturing my in-game child while my real one watches.

I promise you, this idea isn't as horrible and dire as you seem to think it will be.
