What is this plogon
The match-making FFXIV always needed - finally in-game.
FFXIV is full of people you’d genuinely click with - a raid buddy, a roleplay partner, someone to chat with at 2am, maybe something more. The hard part has always been finding them.
Right now your options are rough: stand around a venue hoping someone says hi, drop a “casual RP, maybe more” in Party Finder and wait, or shout into Limsa /yell. And every one of them means handing your character name to total strangers before you know a thing about them.
AetherLove fixes that. Build a profile, say what you’re looking for, and get matched - right inside the game. No alt-tabbing, no sketchy websites, no spreadsheets, and your name stays yours until you decide to share it.
No more standing around
Stop camping venues hoping the right person wanders in.
Match on your hobbies
Mark the content you like and find people that enjoy the same hobbies you do!
Your name stays yours
Your character stays private until you choose to reveal it.
Features
Private, safe, and made for FFXIV
Anonymous until you choose
Call yourself Bob, Highwind, or whatever you like. Your real character name, home world, and Lodestone ID never show - you reveal who you really are only when you’re ready, and only to who you choose.
Your chats are truly private
We take your privacy seriously. Every message is locked on your device and only unlocked on your match’s - so no one else can read it, not even AetherLove staff. What you two say stays between the two of you.
SFW or NSFW - your call
Both are first-class here, and honestly both are a blast. It’s entirely your choice: NSFW is opt-in and off by default, so anyone who’d rather keep things clean is simply never confronted with adult content. And whatever you pick, every profile and photo stays screened by automated tools and real human moderators.
