Ah, alright. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Why would anyone care if two people got married in the game anyways? If it is implemented ad people do not like it, then they have the choice to not even bother with it.

I think it would be better than having to publicly RP the entire wedding in front of people who probably wouldn't like it. Adding something like Weddings in FFXIV is the same value cost as adding in a barber to change your hairstyle. It won't effect the rest of the game at all.

i vote no to weddings in game in general, they are a pointless waist of resources. they were almost never used in ffxi. i doubt most care to use it. it's like the chocobo races and pretty much any mini game or side thing in ffxi, no one did them and those rooms and zones were empty all day. people ask for halls and stuff, i never see anyone in them. i surely don't want to sit in a room and chat or emote or roll play all day. if i'm not progressing in game i am offline.

if they did waist there time adding them then yeah same sex is cool, but meh in general this isn't aol ..and granted it's a rpg but it's a mmo and the masses aren't here to get married ...they are here to kick arse and chew bubble gum.

Unfortunately it's easier for people just to waste their time and complain about it instead of just doing nothing at all. If they wanted to push for the things they want in-game, they should be making threads for that instead. Don't you think?

I don't chew gum. I chew tobacco. In any case, people really have to stop speaking for the masses. No offense to you, but it's just the way that you present yourself that some can see as...embarrassing. In any case, thanks for sharing your two cents about it instead of trolling the thread.

u now what i meant though, we playing the game, also i don't speak for masses ...but i already stated a fact, the rooms are empty. thus i am speaking for the masses. if the collosium in ffxi was empty all day long, i can pretty much say i'm speaking for the masses that it sucked and shouldn't be readded to the game. i'm not trolling, it's my opinion, it's not your opinion obviously. but when they waist time creating this over even 1 more side quest or mini boss or nm or anything in game then it's a waist ..it's not my 2 cents it's my lol 13bucks. it's mmorpg, not mmoaol. ty.

Thats true, we are here to kick ass, but others may even tell you that they are here to just craft, and cry about not being able to get their Company Chocobo without having to level a battle class.

There are different people that play these games, and while they are not out leveling, I am sure that they wouldn't mind playing a card game or getting married to the one they love. I think it should be implemented but I still think it is a bit early to do so. Maybe once the game ages a few years more then they can start thinking about it.

I really don't know what it was in FFXI, but a lot of my friends have met their lovers on that game, including myself. I think FFXIV will have that same potential once it starts picking up some subs.

I'm absolutely amazed this thread hasn't been locked for being so off the wall bonkers...Oh well *Grabs popcorn*

I vote yes for weeding in-game only if 2 reason is available:

1. Add fashion clothe : weeding dress and tuxedo for all char can wear freely when marriage and not

2. No super power wedding gear pls, just a good look ring with no stat, no ability, and prefer cost 0 slot in accessory

Note: I dont see a reason to vote no for this feature, but I dont like when ppl marriage each other for clothe or because of w/e ability you can get but I want ppl marriage each other because they like each other or for fun

That's very much what I had in mind when I started the thread. Ha ha ha.

It would be wonderful if they implemented this sort of feature. 'Course people want as much will often do it themselves - goodness knows a friend and I and our guild did, back on Ragnarök Online before Gravity implemented a formal marriage system. But all the same it's always so much more fun when the game itself accommodates such things.

That said, last time this topic came up, I also said I didn't see it being implemented for some while. As much as I'd love it to appear and as soon as possible (and while I don't know about how it went in Final Fantasy XI) marriage systems are often some of the last things to be implemented; a really nice touch once the developers have really found their stride and can focus on embellishment rather than additional functionality.

Some people just do it for the snazzy suits, ha ha ha. I do recall seeing Shantotto in the Dissidia sequel actually wearing a wedding garment. Of course, it'd be kind of hard to picture how it looked on her on say a Mithra or an Elvaan - or even a Hume.

Can I marry my Path Companion? I'm pretty sure I'm in love with him.
Anyway.
I don't see why this shouldn't be implemented; for those that don't like it, it's not like they'd be forced to take part in it or anything. I mean, I won't say no to some pretty-albeit-statless gear, and it's not like it'd do any harm. I do agree that if it's implemented, it likely won't be for a while yet -- but it's maybe something to look forward to in the future, at least?
... but I still want to marry my Path Companion. >:

Don't worry, you're not alone in that context. My Miqo'te companion is irrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresissssssssstibble. ;)

One of my LS mates has the Miqo'te companion, and she's got some great lines in the cutscenes from what I've heard, ahaha. I've got the Highlander myself, and I'm very sad I just finished Futures Perfect and I have no more quests to look forward to with him in it. >:

Marriage is just a con to get half the other person's stuff if they cheat on you.

By embellishment I meant adding non-essential content to the game for the sake of it simply being nice, not just as in adding different clothes ^^; Although I suppose that might fall under the same thing. 'Least I assume you're misunderstanding that given what you underlined of my post in quotation.

Appropriate clothing would improve things even further for me, but it's far from a make or break beside how nice it would be if the game simply justified players' in-game marriages with a ceremony and a few little systemic nods. For me, they wouldn't even have to be positive ones; locking out a ring slot permanently would actually be something I'd favour since then people might be less inclined to use the system 'for the hell of it' and invest the decision with a bit more meaning.

Someone's seriously unfulfilled in life.

And it ain't me.

I say yes to Marragee in game. It's a fun extra for all those rp'ers and adds a small sense of immersion. Maybe both ppl need to be on each others friends list in order to marry each other (small, pointless restriction which came to mind lol)

IF it is done, same sex marrages do need to be implimented. Not being silly, but we're in the 21st century. It's time the "same sex issue" was no longer an issue.

While I would certainly prefer there not be limitations on who can marry who, be they gender or race or whatever else, we aren't in the 21st century, we're in the Sixth Astral Era. I'd much prefer the conventions of who can marry who be based on the game's lore than it conform to modern, real-world morals.

.. Luckily however it doesn't look like the Eorzean realms have anything much against homosexuality anyway so, well, yay!

I say yes. Just so that there will be more drama stories floating around about people giving away all their time & gil for an e-relationship that turned out bad.

'Know what'd be nice?

If, when marriage is implemented, it's region-specific. So a marriage held in Gridania would say.. have fine wooden armbands instead of rings maybe, and a padjal presiding over the ceremony. Meanwhile Ul'dah.. well, I suppose that would be a ring, wouldn't it? I suppose the marriage'd be performed by one of Nald's priests? And Limsa Lominsa.. one of the admiralty? Or a captain maybe? Probably they'd use rings and all unless the developers could come up with something more appropriate..

I know it isn't love, but it isn't just a certificate. lol There is a reason why people get married, and most of the time, its because the two are planning on being with each other for the rest of their life. Its more of an investment than anything else.

However, when speaking in terms of video games, weddings are seen on a level as boyfriend/girlfriend type of deal. If they have not actually gotten married in real life already.

My miqo'te path companion wants me on the bed. So, you are right about the homosexuality in this game. We also have Reinheart, who everybody thinks is sexy, whatever race or gender you are.

What about polygamy?

:| Can i like have more than 1 wife/or husband in my character form... .? :P

I think we finally found a purpose for Culinarian. Wedding cake!

Honestly? I'd support that idea. Eorzean culture does not seem like it'd be massively incompatible with that sort of arrangement.

I was wondering how long it would take for the slippery slope derp to enter this thread. GG

That is not very true, the wedding schedule was filled constantly, I was on a waiting list for over a year, before I finally gave up. (was going to marry a friend of mine, she played a male character ;p)

Yeah basically this. Just because you didn't know anyone getting married doesn't mean that it was never used. There was a hella long waiting list. Especially when they first launched the feature. I saw people with wedding rings equipped every other week.

Honestly, I'd like to see the marriage option. I just got married to my ig and rl gal yesterday.

I'd rather have the option to have dresses, suits, and matching engraved rings, and as to the rest of it leave it to the players to roleplay. Leave the controversy out. The funny thing is, that as in RL most of the loudest voices demanding same-gender marriage most won't bother, its just a weak red-herring argument for "equality," which to me is tantamount to an atheist demanding to be part of the Eucharist service at their local church, who cares, leave people to their own rituals.

As a side note: It's mildly idiotic to hear so many people try to sound, "beyond" marriage, and talk about how unscientific or unenlightened it is; as if they were our brilliant, Vulcan overlords. It is a basic social unit, which at it's best is an agreement that fosters cohesion, meaningful cooperation and grants a following generation a superstructure to grow up in with certitude and two examples of adulthood representing each major gender.

From a sociological perspective its an outlet to provide a basic environment to sustain life, assign meaningful roles, teach the general mores and values of one's society, and is more meaningful than many of the other social units we form, and more useful than a great many, "necessary" social structures we demand in governance and society daily.

I agree with your entire post except for this part. I don't quite get what you're trying to imply here. Yes or no homo-marriage? Either answer could seem controversial.

That's why if they leave it up to literally being a choice made by the individual for their own personal roleplays within the game there is no "controversy." Just supply us with the accouterments and matters will take care of themselves.

Pick a good place to invite your friends and LS to. Get your LS leader or some other close friend of importance to macro up the words of a ceremony, wear your wedding, "gear," trade the rings at the appropriate times. Then, have your culinarian friend (so practiced at turning fish to sand) make a treat and trade to everyone. Include some well placed fireworks, march away while avoiding aggro after some screen shots.

Boosh, you're done, and it leaves SE from having to make any decision more than making a wedding dress and suit.

I view it just the way I did ballista in ffxi. Don't particularly have any interest in it myself,but if it makes people happy then I'm all for it.
