Wedding Vow Updates

[Sicycre]

Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to share a few wedding vows that have been recently updated:

If you’re from San d’Oria and planning to get married, there is now a bell based vow should you or your partner be a geomancer!


-Handbell
I shall become [person]’s voice.
I shall forever walk with [person],
and the spirits shall ever light our path.

Note: Should one of you be a rune fencer, the sword/great sword wedding vows will be what's needed to practice during your special day!

If you or yours are from Windurst, jobs are the main focus of your vows.
With that said, rune fencer and geomancer themed vows are as follows:

- Rune Fencer
I pledge to remain the steadfast blade at thy side,
whether my runes fade or my light falter.

- Geomancer
I pledge to remain at thy side,
even should the spirits dissipate or the order of the world go awry.
Since Bastok wedding vows are dependent on you and your spouse’s nation, these vows remain the same!

If you’re planning to be wed soon and have taken up any jobs from the Adoulin area, we hope these entice you to finally get a wedding ceremony planned if you have that special someone in Vana’diel.

Glad to see you've got your priorities in order, this is vitally important

[Sirmarki]

Following the theme, how about a new screenshot campaign titled...

"Best location for a honeymoon in Vana'diel"? :)

[VoiceMemo]

Why on earth is time being spent updating this? I don't know anyone in like 8 years that has used the marriage service. Please stop wasting time on events that are unused and focus on the real issues.

This took all of 10 minutes to do, stop complaining about "time being wasted". They didn't' have to do this and could of just had an extra coffee instead.

[Vold]

Shoulda had the extra coffee LOL

[Nyarlko]

Pretty sure this was a JPside request, and they just wanted it available in time for "June Weddings". XD

It's just a text thing, it probably took a few minutes of somebody's time to implement.

It's just a text thing, it probably took a few minutes of somebody's time to implement.

That same 10 minutes is all it would've taken to add the 5 Resin they screwed us on too. That same 10 minutes would've been all it took to fix the Black screen issue that they just took 3 months to fix too.

How long it took is not important. The fact that it was even a consideration before things that are significantly more important is the issue.

If they added 5 extra resin on accident, I promise you they would've shut the game down instantly to fix it.

That same 10 minutes is all it would've taken to add the 5 Resin they screwed us on too.

So that's why you're upset. Get over it lol.

Oh, just an fyi, that "extra 10 minutes" is a lot longer than 10 minutes when dealing with something like that versus changing a string of text, just saying. ;)


That same 10 minutes would've been all it took to fix the Black screen issue that they just took 3 months to fix too.

Speaking as someone who actually worked with the PS2 dev kit and dealing with PS2 "ports" to PCs, you're incorrect on the "that 10 minutes"..I get it you're extremely salty, but that's a core related issue that cropped up for some people after certain updates (a lot of it is because you people forget you shouldn't be using 3rd party programs.)


If they added 5 extra resin on accident, I promise you they would've shut the game down instantly to fix it.

Well yes, if they accidentally oversupply people that is a clear mistake with balance being taken into consideration, it would be an immediate fix. I get being salty, but it seems to be clouding your judgement.

Oh, you also seemed to have missed the announcement about the resins.

[Pixela]

way time would've been better served doing something that matters.

To you. I guarantee you there are people who care about this change.

[Stompa]

Dear Square Enix,

please may I have a ceremony where I can marry my Automaton.

He is called Rosi, and he has these darling little stick legs, and cutesy-wutesy dents all over his little metal head.

Rosi and I have been together for 12 years, every day. He is totally my brave hero-wero.

Thank you,

Stompa.

[Elexia]

First of all, no.

Second of all, no ones salty.

Third, I didn't miss anything, that's why I commented on it specifically. Forgot 5 resins, *shrug* oh well. Give too many *FULL ON PANIC ATTACK* IT HAS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

If you don't call them on bullshit, it's your own fault they keep doing it.

Regardless of how long it ACTUALLY, PHYSICALLY took. They had to agree that it needed to be done, wasted time. Write a draft, more wasted time. Get it approved, more wasted time. Actually implement code, more wasted time.

All that pissed away time would've been better served doing something that matters.

You say you're not salty...


They had to agree that it needed to be done, wasted time. Write a draft, more wasted time. Get it approved, more wasted time. Actually implement code, more wasted time.

Not how the process goes. It's more like:
<Person who deals with side content>: Think I'll change this.
<Matsui>: Ok.

And if it's a change that will hurt something, obviously then it'll go into a cycle, as in actual code and balance changes..but when you actually work in this kind of environment you see how something like this is literally such a non issue and something one person, even an intern, can do 'quickly.' Has nothing to do with priorities, because this isn't the focus of their monthly updates lol.


All that pissed away time would've been better served doing something that matters.

Like their focus on monthly updates..? Technically they "piss away" more time continually updating end-game content instead of creating a much more accessible catch up system on existing content. It takes no time to level, but to get to any "worthwhile" level of gameplay, it's insanely hard when very little people can help out and you do not have access to proper trusts if you're a fresh player to the game and some content requires you to have job progression to the point you've dumped hundreds of job points into it.

Instead, they "piss away" time updating Ambuscade and creating side content requiring mission completion many new players and some 2005-2010 era returning players haven't/can't complete if your server is dead ;)

That is what I mean by saltiness, just from your wording it seems you're so hugely upset they won't give you your god forsaken 5 resins you're nitpicking something they could literally throw into the game WHILE it's online and it'll show up on next reset.


They're the same people that want different music when riding mounts. They're the same reason we got Cheese Sandwiches. They're the same reason we got screwed with iGarbage instead of actual levels.

1. Cheese Sandwich was a joke during vanafest, they ran with it. That was 2005, it's time to move on. (I noticed you didn't comment about the Pizza joke, I guess because it's useful when they implemented it? Lol)
2. Different music when riding mounts makes sense. Why would it be the (Insert) de Chocobo theme...while reading Omega, for example?
3. I agree with ilvls..but that was a progression decision because they cannot create more content at the time without new tools, which as you say you didn't miss an announcement, so you should know they're working towards doing something.

I get where you're coming from, I really do..but the anger is misplaced because of something some people actually request. You do realize ToAU as a whole was because of people "like you" requesting something more than just "cheese sandwiches"..right? You'll get your 5 resins, don't worry..if FFXI was going anywhere it would have ended when SE tried to kill it off for XIV and failed.

Personally I like this, the changes for the wedding vows for those jobs are a bit romantic (as it should be), we are unlocking those jobs just to have those vows (I'd be the RUN and my Wife would be the GEO), not sure why so many people are getting upset about this.

For the few complaining previously in thread, not everyone in thread:
If you don't like any of it, you can always take up computer programming, learn how to write code, and create your own game to play. Until then, be happy with what you have, stop bitching about things you don't have (yet or ever), and learn to have fun, albeit maybe not the god-like level of fun you think you deserve, but fun nonetheless. No one is forcing you to pay-to-play, and we all get the same advantages/disadvantages from it just like everyone else for the same amount of money.

And if your retort is to the idea of "Well I am paying to be able to have more fun than others because gosh-darn-it i SHOULD be having more fun...." etc... then the problem may not be the game, but actually it is YOU and what you think you deserve or should be given.

Rethink your priorities, and then if you cannot or will not change without complaining, then turn off your subscription and create your own game with any/all broken god-like features you want to give yourself. No one is stopping you from doing that.

Just my 4½cents worth about the complaining of how SE is spending the money you are giving them and forcing you to abide by the game THEY created and maintain as they see fit to do....
.
Edit: Yes I was salty there, actually full-on salt & pepper with a bunch of jalapeños and vinegar-soaked lemons there too lol :D
