Hey, i love your videos. I also have a story to share.
I am usually playing skimpy outfit fem vieras but i do make them look damn good in order to provoke others to upgrade their glams, but just like a week ago, this one random ff14 friend that i had done several trials, roulettes and hangout with for months was stunned when he found out that i was a guy and never did i say to him that i was a girl in real life (im a dude) but he felt like he was betrayed 😂, oh well i just hope that he learned that the most sexy characters with revealing clothing in ff14 are probably just dudes 😀
people generally don't go through Ceremony of Bonding for the ring/chocobo, they usually do it because they are in a relationship. it's a marriage event.
I am going through the ceremony with the person i am engaged to irl.
It seems like you guys are taking it pretty serious in the opposite direction as the people you're talking about. It's not that big of a deal. Get bonded to the person you play with the most, best friend, partner, whoever. The ring is amazing for going through story and doing hunts together.
I have had a strict code to where I've reserved it for my wife IRL all this time.
I started playing last year and beat Endwalker. She's new and going through her journey.
So here's the story of how my wife and I met through FFXIV from my perspective and experience with the bonding ceremony.
So I was a returning player after quitting in 2014, created a new character, played with a few players on/off, nothing really major. Got into a pretty active(at the time) FC on a new character, made some friends. Was approached by one of the FC members, who was both male and french just like me, to go through the Bonding Ceremony for the mutual buffs we could get, in a "bro" type of way. I had declined because I didnt really know how the whole thing worked, and I wanted to keep my options open since I felt like I was brand new to the game. They ended up leaving the FC because of drama VS the FC leader, but anyhow, thats another topic. I got pretty close friends with a female fellow FC member, we were mostly playing together at the time, we got close, but not "that type" of close. One day I was afk and my wife(she was still a stranger back then) and her twin seen my character afk'd at House Fortemps entrance, they were messing with my character and then moved on, I noticed the emotes in chat, but didnt think anything of it.
Two days later, I went back to afk there, because it was my regular chilling spot, after grabbing some food I noticed that there were two players standing there, dressed up as Ascians(pre-endwalker), and emoting me(/pet) and each other(/slap). So I came back on and they noticed that I was examining their gear since my head moved, and they reacted, and I could see their mouths move, but nothing appeared in chat, so I said "Hi", and then silence.. after a minute or two of watching their mouths move I asked them if they were "/w" or "/party" each other.. anyways, after our first encounter my now sister in law told me her sister wanted to talk to me(she hadn't asked her to say that, she just said so because she kept bringing me up), so I added her as a friend and we started hanging out, she had already finished Shadowbringers so she gollowed me around as I completed the MSQ. At one point my sister in law and their friends all had alts called some variation of "Haurchefant", and my sister in law married one of their friends Haurchefant alt. So we attended the ceremony, which was more of a funny moment thing to do with friends. lol
Like a few months after being rejected by the fellow FC member that I was partying with often before meeting my now wife, which was at that point in time my best friend(she still is), I told her "Hey, lets just do like your sister and Anon1 and get an ingame marriage, on the upside we can teleport to each other and get party buffs since we're always joining each other!"… then we did! While waiting a few weeks to prepare the ceremony, we got into the whole "admitting to each other our true feelings for one another" thing. So the Ceremony of Bonding TRULY became a Ceremony of Bonding, marking our first official day of relationship.
Her twin sister, after my wife and I's ingame wedding, met some of my FC fellows, she was fawning over one of them and tried to flirt with them. A few weeks after that we were at a ingame social nightclub thing with a Twitch DJ where she was trying to dance with him, but he wasnt having it, because not a dancer. Lol Another fellow FC member and him got married, and the whole ceremony got a little awkward after my sister in law realised that that male Elezen getting married to the female Viera on that day was the one she was flirting with… LMAO good awkward times.
I've skipped quite a few details, its just because I'm at work, if you want more details, feel free to ask!
