Are you really surprised considering XIV's country of origin and aesthetic appeal?
What you're talking about isn't "anime-like" it's camp. Camp can be found in anything and is not a trait inherent to anime.
There are plenty of serious, politically charged anime out there that have zero camp in them whatsoever, they're just on the edge in the current zeitgeist of anime production.
And you're wrong about XIV not being anime in aesthetic, it's extremely anime in aesthetic. The style is a unique one thanks to the greatness that is Akihiko Yoshida, but it's still very anime.

Okay guys. Your discussion of camp and the presence of anime in FFXIV is completely off-subject in a thread about describing character relationships with silly gifs. I'm not saying it's not a topic worth discussing, but it is not a topic worth discussing here. Please take it to another thread, if you must. I understand I'm no moderator, but I'm fairly certain my argument is legit. Let's stay focused, people. Back on track. |

So, Xheja's acquired a shiny new hyur plaything.
It's practically perfect, because for Xheja, the best relationship is when there's no relationship!
(Also, come on, this gif was bound to show up here at some point, amirite?)
Edit: Bonus! Found a gif to perfectly explain N'hadiya's entire love life.

The vast majority of Sylas' relationships:
Sylas and Lafi meeting: Dealing with the inevitable litter of kittens: Nigel's a little more, uh. Well. I'll let the gifs speak for themselves. Falling for someone (IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CORNY, ALRIGHT? GEEZ): Aaaaand if he ever has someone: |

C'kayah and Kenthi juuuuuuust got married (though in their case, it's more that they hijacked the ceremony for their own purposes). This pretty much sums them up:
