Gay Marriage in Vana'diel

[Camiie]

Also, I'm 100% sure that Lehko was hitting on me when he said we'd be "firm" friends.

Psssh. Lehko swings all kind of ways!

(And as for Mayakov, "effeminate" isn't the same thing as "homosexual." Foudeel, Wahboud, and Bashraf in Aht Urhgan, on the other hand...)

Well, those guys were under the influence if you know what I mean. I think the true non-hetero coupling in FFXI is Prishe and Ulmia! Come on... you know it's true!

Old dead thread is here.

This thread is better, contribute or gladly show yourself to the door.
We don't need your childish reaction images and smart-mouth comments.

What are you, the "No" police?

He is.... Dr. No...

I believe you mean "more fabulous."

There's really no reason not to implement this.

You know, other than homophobia.

Balance:

There are fewer homosexuals playing Final Fantasy XI than heterosexuals, and thus the detached hatred expressed per homosexual player has to be even higher than normal to balance things out across demographics.

Someone has been looking for something really nasty to do to the dozen or so Eskimos who play Final Fantasy XI for at least the past five years. Something really, really nasty.

Or maybe.. because it's a fucking waste of resources?

Oh, since we're on useless additions (people dont even use the current marriage system much) can I have a dating simulator where I can choose from one of 12 NPCs to woo and eventually take back to MH for a little pixel on pixel action?

I can see it now:

1. Dodging my elvaan F girlfriends father to deliver a box of blood chocolates to her window. Make the dad true sound and if you're caught he spams doom and stun followed by the screen fading to black.

2. Taru on taru action. Those blood-curdling japanese orgasm screams can be dubbed in for the romance scene between the two taru when you finally take her back to the Mog House. A sure-fire hit!

3. Your Galka romance can involve roasting sausages over the fire which leads to a steamy romance in the wilds of Gustaberg. Since Galka have no specific gender, this wonderful romance would be open to members of both sexes. Balance!

SE says different--can "thank" the ESRB for it.

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.

Squre-Enix ninja-added gay marriage in over a year ago with their automated marriage system. They couldn't just come out and say they added it due to political and social pressure, so they stuck it in and just let people figure it out for themselves. Here is a basic rundown on how to marry someone of the same sex:

Step 1: Get a friend of the opposite gender (your best man or maid of honor or witness or whatever) to buy two rings.
Step 2: Use an HQ earth crystal to sign the rings.
Step 3: Exchange the rings (whether through a ceremony or juat right there at the NPC who acts as a justice of the peace.)
Step 4: Buy your friend a ring.
Step 5: Talk to the NPC one at a time while partied with your friend to get your marriage certificates. Marriage certificates aren't actually signed. They're just furnishings. congratulations! You're married.

Tarutaru are the only race that actually, demonstrably have sex to begin with.

How often have you seen a complete family unit consisting of a mother, a father, and a child where they weren't Tarutaru?
