Fallen Players immortalized

[Jennah]

This is a great idea - but I don't see why we'd want to "keep people from abusing it" or "have to register with SE and prove the player death".

What if I wanted to make a (better) shrine to Hauchefaunt, with a statue? Or commemorate my dead grandmother, who never played?
Or a statue of our years-long FC leader, who simply quit the game?
Actually - what would be wrong with building a statue of ourselves? Commemorating say our Eternal Bonding ceremony if there were two of them. Or our defeat of an Ultimate raid? Or for that matter - just one that says "Jennah is awesome!"
Would that sort of thing actually detract from your fallen friend?

I think it should be some kind of remembrance book and maybe a plaque you can click and read the names? of all the fallen warriors of light! Like a memorial garden of sorts a place full of beauty to remember them by. This would be a lovely idea though. Not sure how it could be implemented but I am sure they could manage something.

You could use the house diary for that.

You are all looking at this from the wrong perspective. If you truly want to memorialize players who have passed away, you do not need Square Enix to do so. A simple website dedicated to those who went before, incorporating screenshots and information of how they lived and when they passed away, would be sufficient.

It would require no resources from Square Enix, nor would it require SE to intrude into a player's personal life.

Quick question.

Would it be at all possible to incorporate a picture/painting for housing of players that have passed away. Some form or fashion to immortalize them in an FC house or maybe a garden with statues? Maybe have a candle alter for those that want to visit and pay respects.

Just an image of them posing that can be placed in a frame to hang on a wall in an FC house seems very respectful.

Might seem impossible to keep from people abusing it...

IDK...

We had one our raiders pass away to cancer....and I can't think of the character they spent so much time with just....vanishing...

It was an image of themselves and how they interacted with the teams.

This game is not a personal obituary. The devs are trying their best to please us!

Honestly they should in general let us frame our gposes in our houses. Really sorry to hear about that though. I'm sure this post would make them happy.

I understand there is a want for this, but why would you need some form of memorial made by SQE to remember the players you lose?
Why not get creative and put up a armor stand dummy, pose it up in the deceased favorite glamour?
You could build up a shrine with candles and candlestands, even the guestbook like some one else mentioned is a great idea!

A memorial is what you make it, it means the world to you, but nothing to others..
I would also like to stand still and consider what the deceased would think of this, as it is not a topic you would think to discuss.
I sure wouldn't want my character's face plastered on the wall to be memorialized in my FC,
it is not something I am comfortable with.

I dunno if they'd want to/be able to do something so specific, but it might be cool/feasible if you could get portraits made of characters to hang up as decorations. That way you could make a portrait of whoever you want to honor. It also opens up other things that could be done as well.

A commendable gesture for sure. However, if this is something you really want to do, there are other ways.

If I was a member of this FC, I would build a memorial at the FC in their honor, and likely ask for willing participants to contribute towards its construction. Another idea is to designate a certain location somewhere in the world of FFXIV as a spot to go to to reflect and remember this person. Things like this use resources that are already available, and are kept exclusive within the FC.

Thanks. The discord shares the sentiment and not a single raider wasn't effected by his passing. We all raided with him.
