In game special quest request

[InkedBlondie]

*Proposal Request* I have 2 amazing friends Dan and Katy that are having their second child soon. Dan is planning to propose to Katy. I was reading on reddit that sometimes devs will put in a special quest line custom for things like this (Just a few side quests that lead to a proposal with their names or something cute) They are the biggest ff14 fans I have ever met. Katy has always dreamed of a ff themed wedding since she started playing when ff14 first released.She has made 7 new characters just to go through the story line again and again, because she absolutely loves the entire lore. Would it be possible to maybe do a small quest line for her in game for a day? It would make her entire year! I realize this may be hard to do, and i'm sure you guys are already so very busy, but this would mean the absolute world to her. If there is anything you need to know, or any way I could help, please let me know! Thank you so much for your time.

Is there another way to contact the devs to see if this is possible?

You could try contacting SquareEnix' NA office directly? Or maybe tweet at them?

I don't know where you've heard that they add custom quests, but it sounds very unlikely unless someone was mis-describing the Eternal Bond questline.

I don't know the exact process for adding quests but I assume such a thing would have to be written, patched into the game, somehow only made available to those specific two players (if that's even possible) and then removed again afterwards. It seems like it would be a lot of work - certainly if they do so for one person that would then set a precedent that such a thing is possible and all you need to say is "I'm a huge fan so please write a custom quest for me too".

Why dont you do it yourself?

I've made some riddle-quests for my FC before - its not as neat as actual quests, but you should sent her on a little treasure-hunt, while employing friends and FC-mates for an afternoon to function as questgivers, standing in specific locations, giving her little tasks and riddle thats ultimately lead her to the place where he is waiting.
I doubt that the devs will add something like this - but specially if its only for a day you could totally set it up yourself! Starting with a little mogmail letter, leading her to the first "NPC", who can give her some little quest-task (gather something, bringing back monster drops, craft something, use a certain emote... basically all the things our usual quest-NPCs ask of us aswell). They could even give out quest-rewards - flowers, maybe or perhaps there is some expensive glamour-gear she had her eyes on...? Mounts, minions, orchestrion scrolls are all options aswell! And either have them tell her excatly where to go next - or give her a little, maybe even personalised riddle ("The first place I ever had to raise you" etc.).

I doubt the devs have the ressources to create personalised quests for such events - but making this yourself, with the help of all the friends the couple made during their time in FFXIV, is probably even a lot more meanigful. Just my personal opnion, but a proposal shouldnt be something that one "orders" from a company, but something someone creates themself, puts the required thought and work in - instead of asking someone like the dev-team "Hey, could you write a sidequest thats basically me proposing to my girlfriend?"

Vidu's idea is super cute.
Have some friends stand in as NPCs they have to talk to. It'll help blend their real life into things a little further.
