Video Game Wedding Services

This Service Recreates Final Fantasy's Ceremony of Eternal Bonding

— January 8, 2019 — Lifestyle
As of this year, Final Fantasy fans who want to tie the knot will be able to take advantage of a new, video game-inspired wedding service based on the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding.

According to Final Fantasy, the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding is a "special rite of passage for two individuals wishing to pledge each other a lifetime of devotion." In collaboration with Deuxzero, Square Enix is offering a real-world version of the Final Fantasy XIV Wedding service. For the ceremony, the bride and groom will be outfitted with Garments of Devotion and treated to a reception with refreshments inspired by the video game franchise.

Although fewer young couples are choosing to get married in Japan, novelty wedding services are being created to entice people to unite through memorable experiences.
Trend Themes
1. Video Game-inspired Wedding Services - The trend of offering weddings based on popular video games, such as Final Fantasy, provides opportunities for immersive and unique wedding experiences.
2. Real-world Adaptation of Virtual Rituals - The adaptation of in-game ceremonies, like the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, into real-world wedding services presents innovative possibilities for bridging the virtual and physical worlds.
3. Novelty Wedding Experiences - The creation of novelty wedding services aims to attract couples who seek unique and memorable experiences, addressing the decline in traditional weddings.
Industry Implications
1. Wedding Services - The wedding industry can explore opportunities to incorporate video game-inspired elements into their services, appealing to couples who are looking to create unconventional and personal experiences.
2. Gaming and Entertainment - The gaming and entertainment industry can collaborate with wedding services to create immersive experiences that combine virtual gaming worlds with real-life ceremonies, enhancing engagement and enjoyment for couples and their guests.
3. Event Planning and Hospitality - The event planning and hospitality industry can tap into the trend of novelty wedding experiences, offering tailored packages that cater to couples seeking unique and themed celebrations.
