Same-Sex Marriages

[NrvnqsrKhaos]

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.

Thanks, that was my question.

So Galkas are considered Male.

Well, it says in the instruction manual that Galka technically have no gender but are generally treated as male.

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.

The marriage system is very, very, rarely used and there are more players in which are heterosexual.

So, if barely the majority of these users are using this feature to begin with. Why is this so necessary?

Also, if you really care about someone I doubt a piece of paper or pixelated images are going to improve that care at all.

If it does, you're a person too involved in material things to know what love is.

-The marriage system is inconsequential. Why bother?
-The marriage system is hardly used. Why bother?
-The very notion of "same sex marriage" is itself foreign and contrary to the very point and concept itself.
-After all the slack that people gave polygamists in the late 1800s, you'd be crazy to think that I wouldn't quit this game if they allowed two people of the same sex to go and get wedding bands-as though it's the number two, and not their sexes, that matters. The fact that they just keep it how it is instead of dragging western modern politics into it is one of my favorite features of FF11.
-I know this has become an international game, but the fact is that Square Enix is primarily based in Japan, and in pretty much all of Asia(except Thailand), the whole concept is a null point anyway.

If you wanna shout your love for (Asexual, mind you) galka crotch in Port Jeuno, go ahead.

The last time I did this in Bastok, I learned how "Lame Deer" got his name.
