This topic should probably be closed.

Why is that?

Let's just ignore the trolling messages and focus on the topic at hand, shall we? This thread has somewhat evolved from the original debate of in-game marriages to the larger real life issue, which is probably what makes everyone all passionate. I'm still of the opinion that the in game marriages aren't important enough to implement, nor are they worth the flack the game would get for them.

Hmmm I'd marrie you if i was single lol

I totally would like same sex marriages in this game. If this was a poll, I'd vote yes.

It really is just a game. If you're concerned about having "wedding rings", level goldsmithing up to 28+ and make Silver Rings for one another with your signed names on them.

I'm a male, I play a boy taru. My girlfriend plays a boy taru too. I'm not offended that I can't marry her in game (although it does suck that some events we can't do together, like Valentine's day). It's just a game. I'm much more happy that I can be with her in real life and hold her at night.

That means much more to me than a pixelated ring.

That said, nobody should get their subligar in a bunch over this, because it is just a game. So what if some male Elvaan is chilling in Port Jeuno with a male name embedded in a ring. Does it really matter? Really? Your whole life is ruined? Your religion has been pooped upon? Said person supposedly needs a psycho-analysis now because their pixelated character is in love with another pixelated character that has the same gender symbol as them?

Okay.

Okay.

its not really about being offended, its more of an annoyance, because there are so many other MMORPGs that offer constricted marriage.

I play as a Mithra myself, and it would be nice, if when I meet the right girl in game, I could marry her.

WIN! Ahaha...I must say this entire thread has become so warped and diluted from the original topic at hand. I agree with a bunch of other posters in here, saying that I would love to have gay marriage in game, but I don't think it's going to happen. This topic has been beat around to death since the dawn of marriage in FFXI. Very few people choose to use this service...I've only been to one or two in game weddings since I started in 2004. It's completely irrelevant. Do I think SE would receive extreme backlash by implementing this? Not really. Because FFXI is a dying MMORPG, no matter how many claim how many millions play this game. You don't see noobs in starter cities as much as you used to...SE aren't getting new players daily...and they're doing ANOTHER server merger, which proves that the FFXI population isn't where it used to be. I'm going off on another tangent though. FFXI is just a game, so let people have fun. Leave religion and all the other bullcrap to the side.
