My idea for marriage

[ExponentialDecay]

i'm going to buy extremely aesthetic allagan equipment from the cash shop

Why on EARTH would you suggest moving marriage to the cash shop when it's already planned to be implemented into the game without the added fee?? WAT.

Because she (?) thinks that it'd be hard to obtain in game, which SE intentionally do so so players like her ask stuff to be in the cash shop so they can say "we added because players asked"

[Barboron]

Yea and your one of the ppl who think oh i play to play so why help make SE more cash? i bet your the sort who will cry when cash shop stuff you want comes out but you don't wanna pay

Actually, no. I'm the sort to know that we are getting screwed over. How? We are currently paying them anyway to develop content anyway but they wish to charge us for it. If they want to develop content and charge, then remove or significantly lower the subscription. Also, they would have to put in content of ALL types if they do that, end game stuff too even though I am highly against it. Why? because it gives every player a chance to pick and choose what they want in their game be it vanity, raids, or whatever other content is available.

SE are making money off us anyway. Giving them more money won't encourage them to make the game any better. They will just realise how easy people like you are to get money out of and continue to do what they are doing for their own financial gain. Yes, I understand that's the point of a company, to make money, but they would also need to keep their consumer base happy. To make them happy, they then need to know when they are not happy.

As stated by others, if you want to give SE your money, buy stock, buy some of their other games. FFXI is still going, why not subscribe to that and just not play it? Or make a second FFXIV account and not play that either. You're having the benefit of giving them your money and you still get all the content. Problem solved, right?

Uh.... anyone also thinking about making money as a in-game divorce lawyer, after this marriage implementation?

I think some cash shop as an alternative for some items if I choose to buy them for weddings would be nice to have. I have general concern when I saw what they said about the ring and crafters. Now when ever Square has a chance to make you happy with something and it should totally be simple.. They instead do something to it that makes you want to pull your hair out. I do have concern about what the ring will be made our of.. what if its a treasure coffer drop.. what if only new 4 star crafters can make it. Now before you say out loud to us "Square wouldn't do something that mean"


I honestly would be ok paying Square for an alternative. We could have both it wouldn't bother me.

But I also think ppl who choose this service and get chosen by square to be allowed should be locked out of for a long time (more than was insinuated at fanfest)

Iv done stuff like that i paid for a friends game and 90day's to get the mount and hey i got a new player to join so? Look i never said a cash shop is something good but for somethings like this it may be. The crafting part i feel will be a big mess you wait

Pretty much the only thing worse than making it unaffordable with gil is to put it in the cash shop.

Why would the crafting part be a mess? It would be much like anything else in this game, gather the mats if you want to or buy them and away you go. You have two weeks (or a week?) to do so, I believe from what has been said on the Eternal Bond system. And fair play to you for paying someone else's subscription, I hope you feel so much better than everyone else.

You're saying it "may be" good for things like this. What if it was implemented, as you suggested, and then it wasn't good? Theres no hope of SE reversing it since it's a form of income.

Feel so much better then everyone else? i was helping someone out and it worked out for me as well so? look i was just saying something id like to see not saying it was something that had to be done. But if i were you id not fear the cash shop since it is coming do i want it? no but it's going to be there will i use it? maybe if there's something cool i like. And you ask why i say the crafting may be a mess? who knows what we will need to craft the rings what if its very very rare and runs players 5mill just for a part to craft? that was my point in game marriage needs to be easy and fun not something you need to work left n right for i only said cash shop as it be easy and something anyone can do.

Good to know we don't have to wait for GM's to do this, I assumed it would be similar to FFXI's considering how similar he made it sound on the live letter. On the other hand you hit the nail on the head, it's going to be hell trying to get a time slot that works for you if you want to "bond". I still don't see why this couldn't have been entirely handled in-game. So, If the GM's aren't actually doing the ceremony, why does it need to be "scheduled" through the lodestone.

That's what I'd like to know. It makes no sense.
