Marrying npcs.

[Oatmealraisin]

Kind of makes zero sense to me, how can I be married to Aymeric or whoever, and hey this other person is married to Aymeric, and so on and so on?

It would make about as much sense as the MSQ does. Within the story quests, it clearly is just you who's the newest Scion, Minfilia's lackey, Alphinaud's big-brother figure, Cid's buddy, Gaius' nemesis, and so on. Not 10,000 people at the same time. When story quests refer to dungeons/trials, other players are just your "allies". That suspension of disbelief is necessary to deliver both a highly scripted storyline and a multiplayer experience at the same time. It's not meant to make sense from the outside, just from your personal perspective.

So, assuming SE wanted to allow you to marry Aymeric, they would just place all related content in instances and treat it like the MSQ. As far as anyone else was concerned, it would never happen because from their perspective they are the Warrior of Light and you're just some random adventurer.

I'd never consider marrying with somebody else in-game because I don't feel there is the necessary connection between the two involved!...

Surely it would be nice to get the wedding rewards and that's why I'd propose to SE to not only let us marry NPCs but also our alternate characters and our retainers which, in my personal case, are the same!...

was going to say the same thing.

even still, if they were to implement something like this they should do it Skyrim style. have dedicated NPCs that are "romanceable" not just your typical storyline NPCs like the Scions. how weird would it be with the current state of Minfilia if you had some kind of relationship with her before.

ideally they should do personal storylines with regular NPCs and you can trade them gifts to increase the relationship (doesn't necessarily have to be romantic but that should be an option).

after you max out the relationship you can invite them over to your Apartment/FC Room/Personal House and they'll bring you a house gift (like ventures) and you can place them there like a furnishing. but they'll leave on their own after X amount of hours and you have a limit of like 2 or 3 people you can invite.

every patch they can add 2 NPCs from every region.

I already married my retainer (ok she is not my retainer anymore but an alt on another service account (yes 2 subs))

Estinien. In a heartbeat. I'd get that cold, spiky armor off of him and that stubborn, arms-crossed demeanor would fly right out the bedroom window....:: swoon ::

As much as I wish this would happen, I do believe that it won't because it would be a nightmare for the devs to have every NPC available in the game for eternal bonding. As mentioned before, if they were to have certain characters available for marriage, we will have people complaining that their favorite NPC is not on the list. With this in mind, the NPCs that died, yeah, they're not going to be there either because it would be flat out weird they came back to life (you're marrying a zombie).

Also the thing about thousands of players being married to the same NPC, it's no different than how we play Main Scenario. The story is the exact same for all of us except the player which is me-you are the hero/heroine while the others are just side characters helping out.

If somehow, someday it does happen, I'm heading straight to Aymeric and making him my husband!

Clicked on the post and I can literally FEEL the Heavy Breathing...

I'm against marrying recognized NPCS too much Perversion & Drama.

Not to try and be mean or offensive in any way but.. how would they handle an NPC who isnt "compatible" with your character?

Like Thancred obviously likes women.. if you're on a male character then what? Lol. Sounds game-breaking.

This goes to the female characters too of course. Want to marry Moenbryda? But she likes Elezen guys or just guys in general o.o

Unless the Devs are willing to disregard the lore of the *story*(which they've disregarded the world's lore but not the story) how will this work? Not every character is likely bisexual lore-wise.



The idea about finding a customized character to marry seems like the only option. Or non-important NPCs.

That's a good point. How I can see it resolved is that since the guy can't marry a guy NPC and the girl can't marry a girl NPC then they could be sworn siblings?? Or very close friends?? (Dynasty Warrior Empires reference Xp)
