You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. EB had no race or sex restrictions right out of the box.

He might mean they were saying they would start with only opposite-sex marriage, and that they might add same sex later: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...IV-Q-A-Summary

It wasn't until people protested that, they changed their minds. And I think that's when they started calling it "Eternal bond". There was even some interview Yoshi-P was asked something about marriage, and he said something like "please don't call it that, its an eternal bond" like he really didn't want anyone to think there is gay marriage in the game.

ty been a long time since that interview and i can't recall it i am glad to be part of a community that outright said to put same sex EB in and grateful to the devs to actually put it in knowing it might stir up controversy.

TY for that. As I said I wasn't here for that, I just know of a very angry thread from a good while ago, that was along the lines of "what next, they'll let us marry our chocobos?"

But I do wish Square would have more level one glamour for all classes/gender/race. So that there would be more customization. If the original intent of glamour is suppose to be pants then it should be pants on male and female. If it is a skirt it should be a skirt on male or female. This would help both male and female characters looking for the right look.

Ah, right. That's a very different request to "leggings", at least as I understand it.

But yes, a bigger variety of styles available to both genders would be good. I'd love to see more Lv1 "utility" pieces that provide a specific style. A dyeable skirt over black tights would be so good for me, and I'd also like to see more sleeve-modifying gloves instead of having them scattered around race- or job-locked items.

It would definitely be nice, although it's an effect of how they program the different gear pieces - tights are leg gear, so they only affect the "legs" section of the character model (waist to ankles). Obviously they've worked out something different with long boots going beyond the foot, but I guess you're thinking more of having the 'foot' part of the tights visible under the shoes.

I'd recommend SE take a look at other games (GW2 *cough* *cough*) to see how events like this can be so much more. Many of these events are comprised of a really lame story that most everyone ignores and crap that gets tossed in the armory chest. Most of the gear we get from these events is just hideous. Some of the event activities are kind of neat but most of them are pretty uninspiring. Some of the housing items are pretty cool, though.

So... we've had the quest....
I'm currently looking for where to acquire the DRK and CUL glamours, but the items were completely unrelated to the quest.

It's in the corner in the north side of Old Gridania, behind a house. You have to purchase at least 2 Miracle Elixirs from the Fortune teller all by herself.

The NPC is a Magic Pot who sells the gear to you.

Did you find that based on any quest information, or exclusively from the Reddit Data Miners having already had that information?

You just talk to the fortune teller you have to talk to for another quest, she has an option to buy a special potion. The magic pot is "hidden" such that he's fairly easy to see if you were walking by. (Magic pot is north of the lancer guild aetheryte). I don't think people needed any mining to find it, although it just sort of seems to be "there".
