Same-Sex Marriages

[Alhanelem]

You need to respect the cultural differences. SE would likely experience major backlash in japan if it allowed this. I'm all for it, but Japan is not as accepting of this situation as we are in the US, so it will most likely never happen.

That said, as there is no longer an "official" wedding service, you can pretty much do whatever you want, except get your names put on the ring.

This is all aside from the apparent concern that the game's rating might change in some countries if this were allowed.

Hello Everyone!

Whatever your personal opinions on Same-Sex marriage, both sides can agree that it is a controversial topic world-wide. Because of its controversial nature, Same-Gender marriages are not currently available in Vana'diel in order to ensure the game is rated "T" (or its equivalent) worldwide.

We do appreciate to continue hearing your feedback on this, as policies are ever evolving and do change, and I'd like to add I personally do appreciate everyone that has particpated in this debate without flaming or being offensive, since it can be a very volatile subject. I do hope we can keep the conversation going if possible.

I must say... it's really great of you to respond on this issue.
