Romance side quest

The way the Favour System is written up originally is obviously farcical, but the base idea is honestly a pretty good one I think. Mary Sue-ish? Yeah, probably, but I'm not sure it really matters since it wouldn't affect other players and it'd be a chance for writing teams to flesh out any character involved in such a system significantly.

There's a *lot* of potential variance from one set of events to another, too which would give players something to talk about, especially if choosing one character to pursue is a commitment of sorts. You could have them be more dialogue/choice heavy for some of them, or more stuff that isn't combat in general

tl;dr while some people would use it purely as Waifu Simulator, I do think there's a real opportunity for some depth in it.

Maybe SE could cook up a event on Valentines where the WoL gets tricked/persuaded into a Speed Dating Dinner in Limsa/Gridania, where we end up talking to a few familiar faces and get into embarassing moments.

That... would be insanely hilarious.. I kinda really want this now lol
I can already see separate speed date convos with Hildi, Thancred, Y'stola and Krile sit in front of my character spewing hilarious stuff, and Alphinaud just sitting there mute the entire time trying his hardest to prevent eyecontact.
God the laughs.

It can also be played out for feels by fleshing a couple of minor characters in a way you might not expect from them, similar what has been done during the Postmoogle quests.

Add some heart wrenching moments , along where it is played for laughs, then this could make it all a more memorable event.

They really should do a Valentines day event if they don't already. I started playing in May so I really don't know all the yearly events they have.

It sounds like a hell of a lot of development resources for questionable returns. What happens if non of the 'options' work for you. They would have to make a lot of options. Also it still wouldn't do a lot for your character development since they wont want to restrict players own personal idea of what their character is like too much (though the nature of the story does to some extent). There will also be people who will be end up unhappy cause their chosen interest does something they don't like, or perhaps isn't bisexual, or they grow board and want to change interests. I can see it being a pretty difficult and time consuming system to build.

The DRK class story has some pretty good player character development. No romance but a good look into the personal struggles your character deals with being who they are.

They do have a Valentines day event. It tends to be connected with a Ishgardian saint and her noble house decedents who celebrate her commitment to love by trying to bring people together. Last years had a pretty funny ending.

Start at 4:30 to 7:07

This game... is the only game that made a created character feel not only special, but badass as well.

I swore there was a CS where Alisa gave the CC a hug but I could be mistaken.

SE needs to take notes on this because this is the only game... that allowed me to give a NPC a hug!!! That's all I ever want to do in a game.... When someone is down, let me give them a hug ; ;.

Maybe for the V-day event since there is no logical benefit for having a npc boyfriend or girlfriend.

We are friend's with in-game npcs so it's not much of a stretch our characters could be romantically attached either.

This thread reminded me that I still have to finish my playthrough of Dragon Age Inq.

Maybe you should try to solo heal RavEX with 7 WARs, a mix of roes and highlanders...
