In-game marriage, will it make a return?

Wow I know 'MAN', it is a game so nbd. I did my best to voice my opinion and not disrespecting anyone. Just because someone doesn't favor anything 'gay' and supports 'traditional' marriage, doesn't mean "HATE".
I guess if I think is wrong to have 'that' in a video game, I'm the one that's crazy and shouldn't ever speak. It's cool! I'm not the one preaching hate.

Ur a homophobe and so is SE... *Sarcasm*

Been a while since I checked in on this thread.
So are we getting weddings or not?

I don't really care about who wants them.

>_> this was a nice thread, then it had to get all political.

Ahh ignore list~ Full of haters/anti-equality peeps. I don't have to even see this infuriating BS anymore. :D

Kinseykinz, well said. <3 ^^

We know it exist IRL: Just like (we don't want to see) corporates buying-out our national parks, landmarks to build roads and new condos for an excuse for local strip-clubs, we just don't want to see that in-game. People just need to differentiate personal taste and respect what is the norm.

First off, in regards to traditional man and woman marriages... in many parts of the world, polygamy is traditional.

Secondly, gay relationships are also normal, even if it's at a lower rate than straight marriages. Would you call green eyes normal? Only 1-2% of people in the world have them. That's actually a lower % than there are homosexuals by some studies (roughly .5 to 10% depending on study).

Not only that, roughly 1,500 species of animals so far have been documented as demonstrating homosexual behavior. It's found all over nature, from birds (birds are actually quite big offenders here <_< ), mammals such as horses, dogs, cats, and goats, even insects. In fact, i even wound up having a Dalmatian lyretail molly (type of fish) that was male, and exclusively chased and tried to breed with the other male mollies.

If you truly respected other people's life styles, you wouldn't be trying to restrict them when their choices have no impact on you other than "offending" your "moral sensibilities". I'm sorry, but when rules have to be laid down, morality should have no place in the law making process. This is because morals, while everyone considers them important, are different for everyone. What you view as normal and traditional is not everyone else's idea of normal and traditional. That is why laws should only be made in respect to whether anyone would be physically or mentally harmed. (I'm talking about rape, constant verbal abuse, that sort of thing. not "eewww two guys are kissing, gross!")

So in reality, all of us really are trying to respect what is the norm, and that includes homosexual relationships as well as straight ones.

Final fantasy may be a game that's highly idealistic, but one thing's for sure, it's always taught good morals, such as love conquers all, and personal growth. One example was in FFX, where Wakka initially hated the al bhed and machina with a passion, before he met Rikku and saw their side of the story. He learned that they were people, just like him, and that the machina they used were just tools, ones that could be used for good or for bad.

If SE doesn't allow for same sex marriages in this game, i'd personally be pretty disappointed. Seeing their company cave in to politics would be betraying the spirit of what made this series so magical: that love really does conquer all, and that as people live their lives, they learn more of the world and people around them, learning to accept we are all different, and that those differences make the world wonderful.

Why do you think the crystals factor so heavily in these games? Enormous and beautiful, sentient and emitting a many colored light, they banish the darkness. I personally view the crystals as representing life and existence, with countless facets reflecting infinite shades of light and life. But even though each light and facet is different, they all have the same source of life and love.

I hope that you too, will live your life, learning and growing stronger and more accepting of others. The world could use a little more final fantasy and a little less of hatred.

the game don't need weddings in my opinion. just keep it out of the game.

If they add it, they'll add it.

_It's not going to make me stop playing Final Fantasy 14 because the MMO offers more. I'm not going to repeat my standing on this issue because someone wants to call me "homophobe" and such. It still would be cool to have some that caters to partners who do quest, leves and exp together all the time(granting them bonuses and increasing drop rates). This way everyone is happy while putting political and socialism aside. It's "High Fantasy" supposedly, the power in in the DEV team & SE corporates.

My opinions are my own but I'm actually part of a LS: http://www.lux-nocturna.org/?i=roster of Gungnir and it doesn't mean I'm 'that' kind of person/player.

After all, MMO "marriage" is silly when you think about it... its just a BFF ceremony with some window dressing.

That is exactly what SE should do. 'sides, no one would be missing out on anything to begin with unless you really enjoy such terrible corny dialog that a mere child would put together.

Generally, the Japanese people are progressive themselves. The government, not so much (and why there is tentacle rape to begin with).

And how unfair it'd be to restrict your gender to only playing your gender's traditional classes (female wanting to play tank/melee? no will do! male wanting to heal? sorry but your gender can only play these classes, you could always just not play after all!).

SE needs to stop this negativity and just announce if this game is for everyone or not.
I get to look at that homophobic attitude 24/7 in real life and there's no way in hell I'd pay monthly fee to endure that in a FF world.

I don't want marriage in game anymore after going through this thread.

lol

Marriage in a video game just seems kind of odd. Although, given the choice might do it just because the option is present but really, what does it matter. At the end of the day, you'll still be in a relationship, strait or not.

Also, say same sex couples do get that option of marriage. It better be fabulous. Just saying.

Me neither. :(

*hands out happy pills to everyone* Cheer up, people. Why wouldn't you want an in-game marriage any more? When it gets implemented (keyword -when-) all of this negative hype will pipe down. The ones not having interest in it will stop paying attention, while the rest of us can have fun :3

Then it must be fantastic that you don't have to marry either!

Because women already have enough opportunities to reject me. They don't need any more.

I can open a Lalafell dating service, if you think that'd help. . . .

"Can't find a mate cause you're feeling unattractive, undesirable and your walk doesn't feel as waddly as before? Sign up with us, and we'll find you that perfect tiny bombshell or half-sized hunk you've been longing for!"

It should be discussed to help SE and the DEV team come up with a decision. No name calling or ridiculing (I'm sry if it seemed i did so). For the community and for the company, it need to look at both sides, regarding w/e political interest to come up with a solution. Players need to feel welcomed, comfortable with the game while enjoying the content.

What matters is that SE is listening to the community and it could come out in the next player poll.

If two same-gendered video game characters being able to get virtually married makes you "feel unwelcomed, uncomfortable and unable to enjoy the content", you really need to get your priorities straight!

LMFAO

Hecklers are all over me!

Having officiated player events in the past(weddings, barmitzvahs, and one time Notorious Monster that dropped a pot of glue.") I rather like this "build your own room/event" thing. You figure all the devs would have to do is adapt the Mog House from FFXI into a bigger area. This in turn could be set up into a myriad of things, and if bells, fireworks, and confetti just so happen to make it in the game, oh well.

How about taking that one step further and adding a family system? Each family would have a family name that replaces a character's original name.

I know I'd love to be a kittyboy with a grizzled, friendly Roegadyn uncle. Not thaaat kind of uncle, though. >:Y
