The Ceremony of Eternal Bonding in FFXIV

 This post originally appeared on MmoGah.

Have you attended any in-game weddings before? Or do you even know you can get married in-game? If you haven’t been to any or don’t know it exist, then let me walk you through the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding in Final Fantasy XIV.

 

Ceremony Service Plans

 

In order to hold a Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, players must submit an application via the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station.

 

You can choose from one of three plans: standard, gold, and platinum. While the gold and platinum plans will incur a fee, they also include a number of additional options, including venue customization and mounts.

 

Standard Plan

The entry-level ceremony plan. Includes eternity rings, ceremony attire, a special emote, a special furnishing item, and special hairstyles.

 

Gold Plan

In addition to the features included in the standard plan, the gold plan offers dyeable ceremony attire, a special ceremony Chocobo, carpeting and flower color options, and additional options for the ceremony's procession and recession.

 

Platinum Plan

In addition to the features included in the standard and gold plans, the platinum plan offers additional dyeable ceremony attire and additional color options for carpeting and flowers.

 

For guests, you’ll need an invitation to attend a wedding, which is a scroll with a time and place on it. When the time is up, speak with the NPC outside of the door to get into the waiting room.

 

Entry

 

The ceremony begins when the groom and bride ring their Eternity Bells, and all the guests will be in a cutscene where shows the pretty chapel and all lovely settings for the wedding.

 

Then the big door opens and shows the couple with wedding dresses or suits that they have chosen, and slowly walk to the front together. The bride holds a bouquet in her hands, just like in real-life weddings. It is such a romantic and beautiful scene.

 

 

Say Their Vows

 

The cutscene stops when they walk to the front of Choir Moogle (The wedding is proceeded by Choir Moogle). Then the Moogle starts to talk.

 

 Choir Moogle: Was that not the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? It was The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of these, kupo!

 

 Choir Moogle: If anything can top that entrance, it would probably be an emotional exchange of vows, which, as luck would have it, our couple has prepared for us all! You have prepared some, right?

 

Then the couple can say what they want to say to each other or all of their friends there.

After that, the couple can ring the Eternity Bells to proceed to the next stage of the Bonding Ceremony. If they don’t ring the bell, the ceremony would automatically proceed after a set amount of time has elapsed, which is 10 minutes.

 

 

Exchange Rings

 

Then it is time for them to exchange their rings. The Moogle would say many things and then begin the cutscene. In the cutscene, another Moogle shows up and magically puts two glowing balls on the table, which can change to big rings after putting them on their hands.

 

Because there are many different races with different heights, so they do the ring exchange in a magic way, which is one character summons a glowing ball to their hand and then makes it fly to the other character’s hand. When the ring lands, it turns into a big diamond ring, and the character looks at the ring and smiles. Then the other character summons the ring and does the same thing. After it’s all done, they show their rings together for everyone to witness it.

 

 

Kiss Time

 

Choir Moogle does her magic to give the couple pretty wings to make them fly in the air, so the characters can line up for the kiss no matter what the height difference is. The development groups are so genius to think of this way to deal with limitations like this. Excellent!

 

 Choir Moogle: I’ll gladly pronounce the two of you bonded for all eternity, kupo!

 

Then the rest time is free, couples and guests are free to move around in the chapel, and can also take group photographs or throw out fireworks, champagnes, or whatever you have. The limit time is 20 minutes, or till the couples ring their Eternity Bells.

 

 

One Last Cutscene

 

In the last cutscene, the couple walk together to the entry, then the cutscene switches to outside, and you can see the couple are on a two-seated white Chocobo Mount, then they happily walk away. The end of the ceremony.

 

 

Wedding Gift

 

You can get two Minions for attending a wedding, one is called Bridesmoogle, which is a tiny Moogle flies in the air with a basket full of petals, and she throws petals out in the air. The other one is called Demon Box, which is a spriggan holding a heart gemstone hiding under a present box. They are adorable.

 

 

Do you have the eagerness to get married in FFXIV now? If you do, then find yourself a partner and get married! And also, read the details carefully before planning your wedding. Whenever you need FFXIV Gil, you can go to MmoGah to buy some and write your legend in Eorzea.

FFXIV Beginners tips 2021

If you are new to Final Fantasy XIV or plan to play it in the near future, here I offer you some tips, and some of them even old players don't know of. They can make your game experience smoother and save you from troubles.

 

 The road to 70

 

How you want your character to look is totally up to you, it doesn’t have a large effect on your stats. But there is one thing you should know about homeworld choosing. If you see a star on the right side of a server, that means EXP bonuses are currently being granted to all new players created on this world. It is a massive increase of EXP gained from level 1-70. It is made to help new players to catch up.

 

There is another cool thing about The road to 70, which is when you level up a character to 30, 15 days of game time will be added to your account.

 

You will also get 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to exchange for gear (level 20, 50, 60, and 70) at an NPC called Calamity Salvager.

 

The NPC locations in three starting cities are:

 

Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (X:12.6 Y:13.1)

Old Gridania (X:10.0 Y:8.4)

Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks - The Aftcastle (x:11.4, y:14.4)

 

It is recommended that you hold on to those feathers till level 50 to exchange for level 50 gear. But if you feel it is too slow to kill or you want to upgrade your equipment frequently, then I suggest you buy some FFXIV Gil and buy gear on the Market Board to make the killing faster.

 

 

Main Scenario Quests

 

Main Scenario Quests (MSQ) are quests that tell the main story of Final Fantasy XIV. Their icons have a circle with flames over an exclamation point, and they often have cutscenes. You can also unlock important features like airship travel, Grand Company access, a personal Chocobo mount, dungeons, and trials through the progression of the main questline.

 

Quest Icons 

 

You can find a full list of other icons on The Lodestone.

 

 

Food Effects

 

Before starting any quest or dungeon, be sure to eat some food. You can find food from various vendors all over each settlement and town. Eating food gives you the Well Fed buff for 30 minutes. It can increase all EXP gained by 3%. It is not a ton, but every little bit helps.

 

 

Skills

 

Learn what your skills do before using them. As you level up, you will unlock new skills. Read what it does first. By default, new skills are automatically added to the next available slot in your skills menu. Highlight the skill and get an overlay that appears explaining what the skill does.

 

You can also go to Main Menu - Character - Actions & Traits to look at your skills. You’ll find a full list of your current and future talents.

 

Hall of the Novice

 

At level 15, you can talk to an NPC called The Smith in Hall of the Novice, located at the Adventurers’ Guild in each city and several other locations. He will put you through trials, teaching you about your class. It will grant you significant EXP and some high-quality gear. Once you complete all of these trials, you will be rewarded with a ring. The ring increases 30% EXP gained until level 30. But do not ditch it after you hit 30. You can save it for other jobs you play in the future.

 

 

Aetherytes

 

One thing you will be doing a lot on your journey to level 80 is teleporting. So It is best to activate every Aetheryte you run by, the Big ones and small ones. In this way, you can travel there fast in the future.

 

 

Inventory Settings

 

The inventory view by default can be quite cumbersome. You have to navigate through pages to find something. Well, here is a tip that will make it easier. To improve the view of your inventory space, press escape and go to Character Configuration, select Item Settings. On the top, you can see Inventory Settings, set the Inventory Interface to Open All. Then it shows all your times in one place.

 

 

Target Settings

 

The original setting is automatically facing target when using action, but if you play a melee class, it will be hard to dodge attacks, which may get you killed in the later dungeons. If you want a bit more freedom during combat, then you can turn off the auto face target when attacking. Go to Character Configuration, Target Settings, then turn off Automatically face target when using action.

 

If you play a caster, you should have the Automatically face target when using action selected because you have to face the target for the attack spell to cast. You do not have to face your target when using a healing spell.

 

You can try and see which way suits you the best. You can always go to the settings to turn it on or off.

 

 

Free Company

 

Finding friends to play with will make the game more enjoyable. A Free Company is what you will be looking for, and there is a great way to find one that suits you, which is through the Community Finder website. It allows you to find Free Companies that are recruiting on your server.

 

 

Patience

 

If you find it too slow or boring before level 30 and do not care about the stories, then you can skip it to rush to the higher levels because It gets great later, especially around level 50. You can also buy Power Leveling to get to higher levels. If you want to know the whole story in the future, you can always make an alt to review it.

 

Do not give up too fast on your first try is what I heard from other veteran players who eventually fell in love with the game, so I suggest you bookmark MmoGah for your future needs. They provide FF14 Gil, FF14 Power Leveling, FF14 play guides, and news about the game.
