Marriage Quest finally on the horizon! Yay!

I'm also quite confident that you're a troll,.

Yes because you don't like what I'm saying I must be a "troll" cause I posted 2 comments in this whole thread. But I can derail the topic for you if you want since I'm a "troll".

I am a disabled woman IRL with MD (Muscular dystrophy if you didn't catch that) and I play this game to stay in contact with ppl and yes the forums have people and I share my opinions with but apparently my voice doesn't matter so guess staying in my house away from ppl like you is the best choice I made in life. Good thing you have a computer screen to hide behind right? Cause I'm sure if you saw me irl you would be like everyone else and be pity-nice to me cause I'm disabled.

Idc what you believe irl or anyone else for that matter but these have nothing to do with SSM in FFXIV (which yes SSM should and probably will be added). How me saying that makes me a troll is beyond me but w/e Kyah you know best right? I'll just shut up and go on my disabled way. (theres derailment for you, thanks for calling me a troll too ♥)

This is exactly why I should stay away from the forums...But w/e I'm done with this crap you win Kyah congrats.

I think to prevent abuse where people are only in it for the items, only people who are married irl should be allowed to marry in-game.

You'd be required to fax a copy of your marriage certificates over to SE as proof before they let you go through with the ceremony too.

Who's with me?

*sound of crickets*

Why wouldn't I like what you're saying I wonder? Perhaps because you approached me (And almost everyone else.) with sarcasm instead of responding like a mature adult. I honestly don't care who you are in real life, or why you troll the forums -- I discern who you portray yourself here as a person, disabled or not you cannot go around popping wisecracks at people and then when you're called out on it, spin the wheel and use your disability as some sort of defensive crutch. (Why on earth you're even bringing up something as irrelevant as your disability is beyond me.) So a tad bit of advice, if you don't want people to be jerks to you then you can try not being an utter douche to them first.

I can say that we're in agreement with one thing though, I'm pretty glad that I don't have to deal with you in person, because you're nothing but a self-centered brat.

*Gets married in real life just for the in-game rewards*
People who aren't married in real life should also be allowed to get the rewards.
Some of us don't see the point (at least for us, for couples its great) of marriage in a game so marrying strangers/friends should be viable!

Ok this is going a bit far we are both adults here & I have no idea why you think I'm trolling but lets try and start off on a better foot shall we? I don't want to be the kind of poster on here that I hate & I don't want to be in a bad mood & I don't want to sit here thinking I put someone I don't know in a bad mood for something so dumb. We are better then that (no sarcasm), I was not trying to call you or anyone out for that matter on anything. The only point I was trying to make is everyone keeps bringing up RL stuff on SSM in this game & it doesn't apply. I used your post to another poster as an example & I'm sorry if I came off as being a douche but its hard to express what you mean via internet. You read what I wrote in the wrong way and same for me with what you were trying to say.

So, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression of me & what I was getting at. We both got carried away in the heat of the topic so lets just stop being the typical posters on here & just leave it at that.

(the whole rant of mine above, for clarification lol, was just me actually trying to be mean and be like "well if you're calling me a troll I better actually derail the topic!" kind of mentality, childish yes but that's what these damn forums do to me its poison and for that I'm sorry I am not a mean person & I'm know you are not either, blame the forums lol.)

Edit: Also Kyah, you're right I didn't actually give any sort of opinion on the matter and just kind of threw my two cents in on what others were saying. So I will add to the thread instead of getting all huffy puffy like I did.

I feel like SSM is a necessary feature if you plan on adding Marriage in game cause it goes beyond the LGBT community. Like others have said many ppl play their opposite gender just cause. Doesn't seem fair to exclude them (or anyone for the matter) from content based on the character they chose.

That'd be like SE being like "Only Hyur can get married!!"

If a Tia gets one wife does he get to call himself a Nunh?

No, to become a Nunh you have to either defeat a current Nunh or find some females willing to leave with him and found a new tribe...which wouldn't be many, because a male who couldn't win a Nunhship on his own merits would be poor breeding stock.

Actually, based on the lore we have, I don't think Seekers raised in a traditional tribe would even understand or desire the concept of monogamy...which would explain why we see so many Miqo'te prostitutes.

so has this stuff come out yet?

The
Can interracial couples have children?

A more interesting question is can these interSPECIES reproduce. They may all be humanoid, but they are not all "human" in the way that we understand ourselves. In our world, we are all different skin tones, but we are all still the same species -homo-sapien. However, Mi'qote are NOT the same species as Lalafell, for example, so we aren't really talking about interracial couples (even though they use the word "race").

If they think that unions add value to the game, then allow those unions to be between any two player characters. It doesn't advance any agenda in real life, and it doesn't mean that SE is promoting any one type of relationship over another. All it means is that they want to add a fun thing for their players to enjoy and they are acknowledging that not every person's character is going to match their sex in real life.

I don't know why everything has to be so freaking polarizing.

[Diavolo]

I don't understand the point of marriage in this game. Not like we'll be producing digital children or need it for insurance purposes.

Some people like to role-play and enjoy a union in game, but all SE really has to do is provide a recipe for generic rings wearable by any character and then let us do our own ceremony or whatever. Why they have to make it into a whole big thing is beyond me.
