Maybe if you had Thancred's hair.. >_>;

Easy fix: Just as FFXI, they can make the matrimonial set (males also had some type of set), the rings and bands available for sale to everyone.

As for having an official wedding in-game, have a friend do the ceremony.

P.S. I apologize if this has been mentioned..... 88 pages, keep it going!!

Are you saying official weddings are not allowed for the LG community? Or that there are no official weddings lol?

1. Change the name of marriage to something else (for everyone).

2. Allow it to be more player driven by simply giving us the means to do it ourselves.

3. Phrase the removal of the restriction completely differently so that you don't have to actually take a stance. Saying that you're simply allowing all players to marry instead of allowing same sex marriage is neutral enough of a statement.

Hell if you want to be really cowardly about it, just "forget" to implement the restriction in the system and then never go back to add it. I really don't care how they do it at this point lol.

Well said, This makes the most since. Everyone should be able to participate in the content.

Sorry to the real life religious people in advance if this offensive but...

The world of XIV has no real-world religion tied to it, and real-life religion should not be forced upon those who do not follow those beliefs. Marriage is a ceremony of people's affection and spans across multiple religions, it is not tied to one belief. Therefore this belief should not be pushed onto others in an online game.

Pro same sex marriage.

It has religeon... people worship the twelve...


Also, this is still going on? I feel like it is this kind of extension of the presidential debates.

Something else I should point out that most people dont get when they see references to "gay" stuff in Japanese culture.

THEY ARE MAKING FUN OF IT.

The Japanese are not a pro-LBGT society. I have lived there for many years and most of the male friends I have there are scared to DEATH of gay men. Naturally, it is a chauvanist society, so 2 women together is just seen as kinky (sadly). There have been changes over the years in a liberal direction but they are FAR from openly accepting gay culture.

It seems harmless to us when we see them making fun of LBGT characters because our own media embraces LBGT peoples with open arms and actively promotes the acceptance of it in society (Fox News and CNN aside).

Just keep that in mind when you are trying to use Japanese examples or get behind them in an attempt to point out that they or their products somehow support LBGT goals.
