About using Phantasia to change for Marriage and then change back! How will that work

Keep in mind that same sex marriage still isn't allowed in FFXI either.

Sense? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

You can buy the other gender gear of the valentione set from the calamity NPC. You can't wear it, but you can buy it.

Oh, this will definitely be interesting. I remember getting married on a game once because of certain privileges like being able to summon your spouse at your side, sacrificing your hp to give them mp, etc. They should really implement something like this otherwise its pretty pointless.....

(And I'm stunned about this news, marriage on ffxiv O: what?!)

If you get divorced the female takes half your gil and your housing

The feature has only been barely friggen mentioned.
How about we just have a little patience before asking how things will work? I mean, are you expecting players to answer you? Community reps (with the content not even having a full blown announcement yet)???
The only information we have is that weddings will likely take place at the Sanctum of the Twelve, the wedding veil is gonna be wavy and pretty- and some old text from Yoshi stating that same sex might result in "backlash" so they would likely only offer opposite-sex marriage at the start.

We have NO clue how Phantasia will affect married couples. NO clue if there are/aren't benefits of marriage (though shared storage would be awesome ;) ).

TL;DR- Patience. We will know all we need to WHEN we need to.

Patience is good but I think also if we give feedback/opinions now while it's being developed then maybe (MAYBE) They will take some of it into account for once(probably not).

The same sex marriage thing is important to some of us not necessarily because we want to even get married, but because its game content (even if just silly cosmetic useless content) that you can't participate in because of your gender or sexual preference. Which in 2014, in the developed world, is totally backward. Not giving some players even a choice to participate based on such a basic human characteristic is really unfair.

I don't think it is in contrast with what i have written. The calamity npc has been introduced only after 2.2 (if i'm not mistaken) so during the event you could obtain only the items which matched your character's gender.

I am most absolutely certain that I, in fact, DO know what that word means, that it does mean what I think it means, and that it was correctly used both in context and in theory.
Please. Look. Forward. To. It.

It could be either, neither, or both! That's the power and beauty of the whole thing.

Why does one need to be gay? That the problem with this whole marriage crap. Me and my wife both play female characters, Would we like to get married in this game? sure. Will we? probably not. You don't need to bash anyone because of their sexuality.


TBH what I think SE should do is only allow Same Sex Marriage on NA/EU servers. I know homosexuality isn't a big thing in japan, But maybe by just leaving JP servers out there won't be such a big backlash. At the same time I'm sure if they did add same sex marriage that there would be some backlash in NA/EU servers as well. But we are playing a video game people views on religion, politics, and ethics probably shouldn't be here.
