Family Matters

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 :<

yeah poor kids... I agree adopting kids that live through the Calamity would make sense lore wise, players can raise the kid to someday make the world a better place
