Family Matters

[DubstepNinja]

The misery of having offspring without the fun-times that created it? NO!


"Honey, I can't help out at Dzaemel today; one of us has to watch the baby."

"That little **** has only gone and raided the armoury and taken my Bravura to gift his new girlfriend!"

"Er... Dad? I crashed the chocobo."

Although when I retire my character, it had better well pay for a great retirement home.


(also, if we do get the fun-times, I'll change my stance)

agreed

but half the fun of child raising is picking on the kid when they do something wrong....

Half the "fun"?

Um, child rearing is hardly an activity I would call fun. For pete's sake, I often babysit my nephew, and that can be the 7th level of pure unsaturated hell. And he's not even my kid!

And people actually want that in their video game? No thanks, I'd sooner want to have a root canal in-game.

What if it was Thancred's kid? :<

If they DO end up implementing this sort of thing, I don't see them putting TOO much depth into this. It'd be easier for them to also just have us adopt "orphan children" than to create ones from two characters.

With adoption, they avoid the area like sex (even implied), having the kids look like at least one parent, and having to have them since day 1. They also avoid ideas like cross-race mixing, something that isn't really mentioned even in the XIV lore. Adopted kids can already come older, can look like whatever race they want etc.

Infact, I see this idea working out to their advantage lore-wise: I am SURE a lot of kids ended up being orphans after the Calamity, and are in need of good loving homes :<

a simplistic combat pet, like Ragnarok Online.

Uhh. In Ragnarok Online you could adopt other people's characters, making them have shrunk character sprites. They were no combat pets last time I touched that game.

That could be a way to go to introduce those mixed races from one of the polls. For example being able to specify your parent characters on character creation (with their consent and them being actually married, of course), setting the race to a mix of those two races, i.e. lala'qote.

someone somewhere is going to come out and say "ive been thinking about it.. why dont we have elections ingame and have 1 player be president for 5 days then a reelection.. how about we have work ingame where u choose the hours to work and get a payday at the end of the month, how about we have a family tree where theres 3 clans and each player gives birth to the other player on their 1st day ingame with a CS..

just stop with these half witted ideas, leave RL sh*t irl and ingame sh*t ingame..
