If this does become a future option, I humbly beg not to have the wedding dresses designs slightly vary per race. I hate when I get an uglier outfit because I'm a hume instead of miqote.

If only there were some way to make the attire truly unique. Perhaps like a special tailor vendor or somesuch about a week before the ceremony?

So far from what I've counted the votes so far are 31-8 for in-game marriage. I'll be working on the addendum once more to incorporate suggestions others had.

Finalfantasy14.eu :

In the description of the future world changes, we notice that Eorzea will undergo an incredible change. That kind of change is very appreciated by the roleplayers, as well as the apparition of personal flats. Will other similar things be set for that kind of player, such as weddings?

Naoki yoshida :

The map we showed during the live broadcast was of the Northern area, but actually in the South there is a place which is going to be a cathedral. It would be nice to have weddings there, it is something we are discussing.

Seems the topic of weddings in FFXIV has been added to the discussion table. It's probably nothing solid at this point, but at least you know they're aware of the subject and are thinking about it. I'd love to see what the cathedral looks like.

The interview.

Also, I was just throwing ideas out, didn't realize that was grounds for the "gtfo and play another game" response.

you have my apologize, if the response make you feel that way

No.

And just because there aren't more people speaking up in this thread doesn't mean there aren't more people against it. Who'd want to come in here and get their beliefs stomped all over and bullied? This subject tears otherwise friendly players apart. That alone is why in-game marriage role-play should be left to the linkshells.

I clearly said in my revised post that 31 of the participants in this thread were for it. People need to stop being so presumptuous and try to speak for the masses. That's the reason why I renounced my Catholic faith in the first place.

However, it's like I said in my original post: Leave the debating and e-drama out of this thread. All I asked was for in my original post was a yes or no and you've already said your piece. Everyone who brought their own personal beliefs to the table did so of their own accord, therefore it's not your place to say that I'm encouraging people to debate it out when I clearly didn't.

The only reason this topic would become volatile is if those inciting the debate are intent on trying to change their opponent's minds which, in my opinion, is rather futile via the internet unless you approach the situation as you would with a friend of yours. You wouldn't berate them or poke fun at them if you seriously wanted to talk about something. You'd give them the respect that is expected of every human to another, listen to them make their points and they listen to yours. If in the end their convictions are still rock-solid, then you'll just have to live with it. The same goes for these forums, except instead of talking it out like rational people: Most still insist on infuriating others with baseless assumptions and petty insults.

bring marriage into the game. same sex and opposite sex.

then people can do with that feature what they do with anima,

choose to use it, or choose not to.

we dont need arguements like this on the forum. its a game, if they add the feature enjoy it.

just if they do add it, DONT make a load of threads to get it removed like alot of you did with anima.

god that arguement was tiresome lol

People made threads against anima? You've got to be kidding...Can you link me one? I doubt anyone had any valid arguments against it. Ha ha ha.

EDIT:

Reeve didn't get the hype he deserved. He had a world-wide range RC cat. D:

Sure.

One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Etc.

That's just a few of the results from the first page of searching. :)

I'm all for in game marriages. My wife and I had our characters get married in XI, and since they are coming out with Male Mi'qote, well once I go to Ishgard for that umm.. special operation... We could do it again in XIV, that'd be cool.

In game weddings are so much fun. I don't usually participate as one of the couples but attending is great too. It's a good community building event and if we ever get our giant cakes, well there's a reason to make one. ^_^

I say bring it, probably won't be something we'll see right away but it should be there after 2.0 hits for sure.

Marriages are funny. You either love them or you hate them. But even if you hate them, they are still something to attend and talk about, so even if it's polarizing, it's still a worthwhile feature, in my mind.

I never got married before in a game, but I think it would be funny to do it just for fun this time around.

I hate getting married in a game, nothing good ever comes out of it.
But I love attending the weddings of my friends, it's fun and it's always some kind of social event:o

So..yeah.
Bring weddings if you want to, but if they are not going to be implemented ever, I'm not really going to be sad about it.
But IF we get them, same-sex marriage please. Want catboy love <3

Okay, apparently people are completely blowing this whole thread out of proportion. I was only proposing the idea for in-game marriage - regardless of the orientation. Also, not once did I mention in the original post did I say anything about the in-game marriage feature being more important than character progression, in-game lore, or tweaking gameplay or the user interface.

Get back on topic, and leave the moral-political-ethical-controversy-rhetoric-babbling for another thread.

-= ORIGINAL POST =-

I remember in-game weddings being a feature in XI, having weddings between PCs and all. I thought the idea was nifty after all, having only seen a wedding attempted in an MMO only once when I was playing WoW on Korialstrasz. Of course, it was a public spectacle and there were trolls galore, someone actually shouting out that the bride had syphilis or something...Anyway, I remember the wedding ceremonies in XI were by invite only or something, and while progression, lore and the aesthetics of XIV are important there should at least be some sort of opportunity to have some actual role-playing going on.

The acronym for RPG does stand for "role-playing game" after all, and the fact that our characters have surnames instead of just a single strand of letters and numbers like so many other MMOs now, it'd make for an opportunity to implement other features like name changing as well, granted that if one does marry in-game it could be for free or something like that. Who knows?

The whole idea is rather outlandish, I know, but it'd be nice to see something else incorporated in-game that'll set XIV apart from the rest.

-=Extra Features Suggested by Posters=-

Included in this section are suggestions that came up throughout the course of the thread. More to be added when I come across them:

- Incorporating same-sex marriage.
- Have the ceremony in an instance, away from prying eyes.
- Have guests be able to either tailor their own attire for the ceremony or purchase some from an NPC vendor several days before the ceremony.
- Give Culinarians a special recipe for the ceremony, and foodstuffs obtained thereafter have potential buffs.
- Having the ability to "divorce" a player with potential consequences (i.e. Being unable to remarry or loss of benefits, etc.)
- Include benefits, however slight they may be, for the married couple.

-= Results as of 29 October 2011=-

31 of the participants in the thread are for in-game marriage, 8 are against it.

No just no....

I'll count that as a no, obviously, and disregard the rest of that sentence as trolling drivel.

Not that I ever partook in any of the ones in FFXI, or have ever even seen an in game wedding since way back in Everquest days I would still be for this idea, I think its always a fun thing to see happen ^^
