Are there any waifu threads around here?

[Adonan]

If not, we should start one. I would like to see who the most popular waifu is. Perhaps someone could direct me to a poll?

When running a survey for stuff for my FC I threw in some joke questions like "who should I get a waifu pillow of?". It was a draw between Doctor Robotnik, Lyse and Merlwyb.

And out of curiosity I found a Doctor Robotnik waifu pillow, but it was $65 and seems a bit much to pay for a dumb joke.

I win!
Guess we can close thread now?

Hope you don't mind your pillow getting stabbed with a katana.

Y'shtola has always been and will always be my waifu. Yes, I've reached that point in the Rak'Tika Greatwood story, and nothing has changed.

Nevermind, false alarm, for those of you who made it that far in the story.

This thread made me realize that I don’t find any of the female FF14 characters attractive, or waifu material, so to say.

Maybe Sadu or Merlwyb, as I’m not into cutesy wutsy/shy/submissive women and and those two don’t have even the slightest inkling of those traits. Only problems are is Sadu is fcking insane (please don’t ban me again), and Merlwyb is essentially a pirate queen running a glorified den of pirates, so I’m not sure how much better she is than Sadu really.

This.

• Kan-E-Senna is a Padjal and implied to be older than she appears, possibly older than any of the main cast. We also don't see really see her in a personable light, only as the speaker for Gridania. (Missed opportunities to see her as a big sister to Raya and A-Ruhn).
• Merlwyb's hat is that she is a badass pirate admiral. And that's it. We don't see her in any other light.
• Nanamo is the only one of the three OG grand company leaders who is fleshed out.
• Minfillia was only really seen as the boss for pretty much all of her screentime, not really personable.
• Y'shtola couldn't care less.
• Yugiri is wholly devoted to serving her Lord Hien. I can't see her being "distracted" from that.

So... I guess it comes down to waifu material, it's Nanamo and Alisae, and maybe Krile? Then again, given their stature and appearance, Westerners are probably going to go "eww no".

If you're into husbandos, however, FFXIV has you covered. You got brooding bad boy Thancred, the personable Aymeric, confident and charismatic Hien, and your pick between two handsome silver foxes: Raubahn and Gosetsu.

Like someone said, the game sadly doesn't have many female characters you get close enough to. Y'shtola could be one on Thancred level, but both aren't very close.
Hilda is a good mention. I guess I had a thing for Tsuyu but that's also not very personal and we all know how that ended. Ysayle maybe? I'm just realizing the good female ones don't last. :/

For males, there's indeed a long list. My favourites were always Aymeric and Hien, but now Ardbert surpassed them a lot.

And...Khloe really? That's a marriage life of eating pinapple pudding, and not even every day. :P
