Hi, thank you so much for your question! Oh boy, is Meteoin quite the edge-case scenario kind of character in terms of our "no highlighting underage characters" limitation. Yes, we do love Meteion as a character, and yes, she definitely deserves to be loved, and yes, she technically is quite old to say the least, BUT we feel that her inclusion as an eligible bachelorette with a young adult-aged Meteor reaches lolicon territory, which we would like to avoid at all costs.

So, our final stance is that we will not include Meteion as an eligible highlighted character, due to the fact that our protagonist will be depicted as a young adult. Meteion is absolutely welcomed to be included in works, of course, but she cannot be your featured date. We hope you all understand our reasoning for this edge-case scenario.

Also, just putting it out there: Should another potential FFXIV zine choose to depict a younger, teenage aged protagonist who can be romantically shipped with NPC characters around their age (eg. Leveilleur twins, Meteion, Ryne, etc.), we would be totally for it! It is simply because our zine focuses on a young adult protagonist that we have decided to take our "no shipping our protagonist with underage characters" stance. Thank you!
