Character relationships?

[Camiie]

It is pretty unethical though for the warrior of light to fall in love and settle down.

I have a feeling the WoL would settle down into family life about as well as Goku.

My character is meant to be quite a bit older than Alphinaud (sorry Alisaie) so I wouldn't really be interested. I already felt as though I was cheating on my in-game wife during some of those Aymeric scenes with his scandalous Japanese voice ;p

All of my favourite NPCs are either taken or dead.

What scandalous Aymeric scenes? I only recall Haurchefant being a playboy ;o

I think most of them took place in my imagination every time he opened his mouth and that wonderful voice came out. But he was definitely terribly eager to ply me with birch syrup and invite me to dinner. And the Aymeric night visit during the Starlight festivities certainly got my attention, especially as his was the first option I chose then suddenly, Aymeric.

Haurchefant was on another level, though

Am I the only one with an eye on Baderon? He was so adorable when I "dote"ed him all 3 time last year...

Let's just leave lore or the WoL's disposition aside.


It would be extremely limiting to the dev team, story-wise, to introduce, mechanically, any sort of major NPC relationships. It limits what they can do with that character. All of a sudden, mjor characters can never be removed from the story due to any players losing their "investment" in said character. Minor characters suddenly become more important, due solely to whatever benefits they supply. The story Team now has to write AROUND every character they want to give this option to, instead of writing stories FOR the character.

On top of all that, I'm not sure how Eorzea treats this, but why am I romancing Ameryic behind my EB partner's back? Kinda undermines that entire thing, don't you think?


Neat idea on paper, but I don't think it's as universally great like some would think it is.

The best solution is to just add flirt lines to MS/Q lines. It can't possibly hurt development time for adding in 2 or 3 pieces of line. Sometimes you get good reactions from stuff like this lol.

I kinda wished that your character had some kind of relationship with someone from the Scions or another central character of your choosing or someone who's already set to be romanced by your character like, for example, Alphinaud if your character was a girl then Alisae if you were a guy. I guess something like in FFVII where you can go on a date or something like that. I'd choose Lyse though if there was an option.

I'm creeped out by this whole idea. Especially alphinaud and alisae who are children. Creepy. I would definitely NOT want this in the game.

Ah I have to admit I melted when he invited us on a drink. 'Tis long overdue'...

It is pretty unethical though for the warrior of light to fall in love and settle down. The best thing square could do without rewriting the story and perhaps upsetting a part of the player base is to have something for valintines day, but nothing permanent.

Maybe unethical to settle down until the world is safe again... But why is it unethical for the Hero to fall in love?

[Sharksandrew]

The idea seems creepy. I'd rather find my own real person to love in game.
