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

So If marriage is becoming a real deal, a thought came to mind since phantasia is officially being put up in mog station in may. How will it work if people will change their sex just to get marriage and then change back, since people will have that option lol (and maybe they like to play females/males so will want to switch back).

Of course this is all assuming if SE won't allow same sex marriage for now I guess we will just have to wait for more details. But even then what if you want to switch one day to just change and you were married to somebody how would your ring work? lol or anything else?? Definitely curious lol. :)

Rings and garb will be gender locked just like any other piece of event gear. Changing your gender will nullify the marriage.

Well then a lot of people would not have the freedom to use phantasia any time they want.
That seems a little harsh to have to sacrifice ever using Phantasia because of in-game marriage. :/
So people have to choose between marriage or ever getting to change appearance?
Hmmm, I hope that is not the case.

I mean another thing is they will add a new race at some point so many people might want to use their Phantasia and try out the Doma Race or w/e.

unless marriage gives us super awesome items then theres no reason for me to partake in it

Can anyone tell me the benefits of a marriage, like will there be something specifically for married people?

The same benefit of any marriage: a sense of entitlement and superiority.

So no benefits? Oh well, i'm sure married people will appreciate it.

There really no benefits to marriage besides like getting a wedding dress or a tux, but if you changed gender then you couldn't equip your wedding gear.

Funny, but I don't remember seeing fine details like that in the translated entries. No, I can agree with you on the tuxedo... but I doubt the rings will be gender-locked given that there are no such rings in the game presently to use as precedent. Plenty of garb precedents, though.

While a tuxedo being unisex would be nice, XI didn't have lady tuxedos until a couple years ago so the precedent is that we might not have unisex tuxedos for a while yet.

It would be pretty silly to gender-lock a feature like marriage, considering the number of people who make opposite-gender characters. Which means it most likely WILL be locked.

SE seems to be stuck in the 50s...

"Well....she was a beautiful female lalafell when I married her. I don't know how she came to be male roegadyn"

It's not like you have to wear the ring at all times. Is your marriage nullified every time you change to your raid gear?

I'm sure it will just make the marriage ring/outfit unwearable. Hell, maybe the ring isn't gender locked at all (though it probably is lol).

I am gonna call it now and say this is going to be a loophole for in-game gay marriages and SE will not correct it so they can cash in on the gays when fantasia goes up for sale.

Aaaah, how I love forum gossip.

Does no one come to mind, that same sex marriage is a thing?

I honestly don't care what people do, it's their subscription. As I said in the other thread, I don't really do the marriage thing because I fear the other person might be too serious about it. But if the dress is pretty, I WANT IT!

Same sex marriages are a particular issue, I think they will do everything to prevent players from "cheating". It would be nice if it wasn't gender restricted but looking at the valentione event i think that this is very unlikely to happen.

About marriage bonuses .. i'm not an expert but in others MMORPGs didn't it give players exp boots and stuff like that?

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

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.

Who says I am bashing anyone? I am gay and proud. One of my favorite comedians refers to us as "the gays" and so I always use it since it sounds funny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Lampanelli

Unless i get a % tax reduction on Marketed Items, screw Marriage!

Does my gil gets cut in half if one of us throw the rings?

This show how stupid is to limit marriage to male-female is, especially in an online game.
