Marriage Quest finally on the horizon! Yay!

[Yamimarik]

So many people keep overlooking one thing, that everyone should really be focusing on about this issue (the fact that there is an issue, and it's a big one imo) Same Sex Marriage. Not "gay" or "lesbian" marriage, but same sex marriage. Everyone that wants to throw in their 2 cents of "religion" this or "political" that aren't realizing that, do you really think every single "same-sex" couple in the game that want to get married are "same-sex" in real life?

This is a video game, and it is not real life. So tired of everyone bringing their religious or political view into this issue. Because it all boils down to just the characters being of the same sex. You will not have ANY clue that the people behind those characters are female or male.

Example: I'm a guy, orientation (you don't need to know if you already do, good for you.) I have a guy friend that wants to marry me, if I can't marry my friend who is a girl. Their respective orientations are none of your business. If I can't marry the friend who is a girl I'll have to marry the friend who is a guy... yeah thats right because my girl friend plays a male character, while my boy friend plays a girl character. Remember, you have no true idea (unless you're told, or already know) which sex is which. Who cares if a male character wants to marry another male character or female/female want to get married, again they are just characters.

On subject, I'm very excited to see how the weddings do go in Eorzea, I loved being apart and having a Vana'diel wedding! So, yeah I'm excited and can't wait to see how they'll go about it, I hope the tuxes are freaking awesome-saucesome!

Wow straight/gay argument or hear more atma whining... Decisions decisions I think I will go with the atma whining at least that argument affects game play where as this one does not. Seriously are you playing a game for enjoyment or do you think SE should address religion and gay rights and all real world problems. This isn't even a real issue since the content is fantasy and is the sole ownership of the creator to do as they please. I play this game to get away from all the racism and politics etc... please for the love of god don't put all that in this game.

Cheers in advance.

Just like you likely do I play this game to have fun. And my definition of fun is roleplaying. And just like you I want to get away from real life issues. One of them is discrimination.

Finally someone said it. I'm male, i play a female Miqo'te because i love catgirls and i would like to marry a female Miqo'te because... i love catgirls (lol). I'm not "lesbian", so even if both characters have the same sex is not marriage with "the same sex" (you know what i mean). I wouldn't like to have to marry with a male character... it would be awkward...

im somehow waitin for the "im-the-gay-minority-and-i-want-to-live-out-sexually-in-a-videogame" guy...isnt there alrdy another actualy same thread out there?

[Razzle]

I agree about the renaming, should just call it "Soulmate system" and be done with it. Have the wedding customes in game as a craft vanity but dont require them for the quest and done.

So long as its not another Marriage system like FFXI. :I
Having to submit an application in order for a GM to preside over said wedding was ridiculous. You'd have to wait MONTHS in advance, and even then your application might be denied.

Honestly it should just be something Player encouraged. A quest perhaps done with your chosen spouse. (Can only be done with two players)
And wedding gear pieces that can be created by crafters. Rings can be provided Via the quest.

Straight people flaunt their sexuality enough without having yet another thing they can hold over everyone else.

I agree that LGBT people can get overzealous in their cause, but it is a just one.

Doesn't matter regardless, their statement (part I quoted) is what provokes these threads to turn for the worst and get locked. Whether their opinion is considered right or wrong, it's far from a tactful approach.

How is it discrimination if we have no idea of Eorzea history they could of beat this and many other real world problems generations ago and enlightened their intellect beyond our own?

How is it discrimination that same gendered couples can not get married while different gendered couples can... Hmm...
