An official place of mourning

[Transient_Shadow]

I'm going to admit that this is an extremely selfish request. But honestly I need to say it. We need a place of mourning in this game. We all have irl tragedies hit us and some of us mourn in game. But sometimes a small ruined graveyard in a desert wasteland doesn't cut it....

We need a real place in game that we can go...

...I don't see why a Japanese game developer has to put a place of mourning in the game for a natural disaster that happened in the US. I mean I see nothing wrong with it, but it's just time and money that could be used better elsewhere.

This is a game where you dont put reality in it. Its sad to hear people lose their friends,family and close ones. But a game doesnt have a place like you mentioned. Not only resources and money but a request like this is odd.

I don't think the OP specifically mentioned any particular event, so this is just you reading into it.

Haurchefants grave is nice, quiet and out of the way if that's the sort of thing you're looking for with this. Although as someone else says it's a bit of an odd request.

Isn't there a tiny graveyard in one of Thanalan region?

The MSQ even takes us to that place. You can do your mourning there. Otherwise, I am sure you can find a secluded corner out of the way.

Eastern Than & Mor Dhona both have places of mourning you go visit when Scions bite the big one that aren't graveyards in the desert.

Just...no.

If you want to cope ingame, fine. But the intent of video games, especially of the mmo variety is to try and pry you away from the real world and have fun in it. Dedicating a section of the game to mourn irl tragedies detracts the game from that purpose.

Find some people in the game to share your burdens with or find an already existing place in the game and call it your "spot" so to speak to cope. Choose whatever that's already in the game and make it your own personal therapy.

The world's already a sad and depressing place to begin with; don't bring upon a constant ingame reminder to people who want to temporarily escape their real life issues to begin with.

Technically not his grave, it's just a headstone to serve as a memorial. Haurchefant's body is actually entombed in Ishgard amongst members of the High Houses.

*nods*

In short OP, there are plenty of places that would be suitable for mourning if you just pry into the lore a little bit, go for it.
But the majority come to Eorzea to have fun and escape the inconveniences of reality, lets leave them out of the fantasy world.
