It isn’t a mystery that MMORPGs often play the role of matchmakers, with many relationships between players moving into something quite a lot more “real” in the physical world. Final Fantasy XIV is not an exception.

We reported a while ago about the announcement of the creation of a Final Fantasy XIV real-life wedding service about to open in Kobe, Japan. On Valentine’s Day Square Enix hosted a test ceremony for the Japanese press, and was so kind to provide us with plenty of pictures and new information on the service, which will open reservations within the next few weeks.

Here are a few facts for your perusal.

  • Both the wedding dress and tuxedo for the bride and groom are modeled after the FFXIV in-game models.
  • Numerous in-game assets are used as background images and video to decorate the proceedings and bring the Eternal Bonding ceremony to life.
  • Bridge/Groom are able to carry the job weapon of their choice (replicas from in-game models) during the proceedings.
  • FFXIV music is played throughout the procession.
  • A FFXIV themed cake is also part of the package, and there is a full menu for the reception with FFXIV-themed food and drink.
  • According to a press session after the ceremony, a standard plan for the FFXIV Wedding Service with 70 guests would run about 3.5mm Yen / $31,500.

That’s not exactly cheap, but this is supposed to be the most important day of your life, and likely the geekiest, so it might very well be worth it.

You can check out quite a few images below, with producer and director Naoki Yoshida himself playing the role of the father of the bride, former Dempagumi.inc member Moga Mogami.

If you want to know more about Final Fantasy XIV and its upcoming expansion Shadowbringers, you can check out the official trailer and Gunbreaker job, and the reveal of the new areas, Viera race, YorHa raid, and more, some official screenshots and art pieces released after the keynote, and some fantastic new artwork.

If you want to get ready before it releases, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is currently available for PS4 and PC, and a few more updates are coming, including a Final Fantasy XV crossover.

The expansion will officially launch on July 2 for PS4 and PC.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
