Question on Npc relations

[Enkidoh]

That's fair enough but you also have to remember that SWTOR is a Bioware MMORPG and Bioware RPGs usually the player's character has a base canon backstory and partial name already created by the development team, restricting a lot of creativity on the part of the player. FFXIV on the other hand, is probably closer to the original FF game as well as RPGs' pen and paper origins in that the player's character is a blank slate, with little more than just their occupation and their status as a 'foreigner' to that land made canon by the developers, the rest is up to the player to fill in the blanks.

This also goes for relationships, although your character does gain a lot of admiration and respect from NPCs in Eorzea due to their actions as the Warrior of Light (well, except for that one time in Ul'dah), they're never shown to be actively courted by an npc who is really interested in them romantically... well... everyone that is except Haurchefant (and even his affection for the player's character was handled in a very subtle, understated way).

Which is just as well, as Enki is already taken and married to my boyfriend's character so yeah, even Haurchy she had to tolerate his advances but ultimately reject them, as her heart already belongs to another.

An amusing coda to this is SE actually teased players back in 2014 with the infamous 'Favour System' which was pretty much what you are asking for.... but alas that was merely an April Fools' joke and was not serious.
