Wedding Bells in Eorzea?

[Morticous]

What part of, "I will never use the feature," did you not comprehend? It was part of XI and it was tastefully done in that game. It is completely optional for role players and real life couples who want to marry their characters in game too.

If you don't want to partake, then don't do it, just like I won't. However I have a major problem with discrimination, and if SE wants to keep the "straight only" marriage option, that will just be one more stain on XIV's record of them not keeping up with the times. Either allow both or don't allow either.

whether or not i agree with same sex marriage, there are plenty of people who do and do not therefore the concept is stupid anyway why would you want to impose such a situation on any other person in a video game? You think your right, the person who doesn't believe in SSM believes their right. Point is, its an unnecessary conflict for a video game. EVERYONE will live without it however many people on one side or the other will be offended if its built in with or without SSM. I personally hate cats and wish i could kill them in game but you don't see me asking for a "Kitten in a Bag" drowning event in the spring because 1. its not important to the game and 2. Soooo many cat lovers would cry and slit their wrists to the dying computer cats.

In game marriage is controversial and not important to the game. Everyone should be adult enough to agree to disagree about the same sex marriage situation and leave marriage out of game. Until everyone can agree on one side or one side becomes significantly larger then the other, its not important enough to the game and its story to offend others. All of you MUST HAVERS are selfish for pushing your beliefs onto others. Dont say im selfish because I didnt push for either side, im pushing for middle ground which is leaving a STUPID idea that is so controversial out of the game.

as far as the game goes, this is essentially my point.

Then you and I sir are on the same page. The situation with SSM going on outside of this game needs to stay outside of this game. We should be arguing about JUMP and SWIM and AUTO ATTACK.. not real life situations... Next thing you know we should be building Obama in as the Eorzeas World Leader because someone thinks hes the best president ever and should rule the Earth, then someone else gets on here and says.... "No way it should BUSH..." then we are going on and on and on about how not all Europeans care about NA and its politics and they are better and queen whoever should rule the earth and Eorzea something stupid like that as well.. Give up the real life situations and please keep the game friendly for all adult parties and leave RL politics out.

you have missed the point of this thread completely -.-

I agree with some of the others, allow both or not at all, don't add something if your going to half ass it.

I play female characters 90% of the time in MMORPGs, and it made me sad that I could not marry, because we where both Mithra

Wrong, point is whether they believe in it or not in the real world should not affect a video game. It's cool if they don't believe it should happen in real life. That's their opinion. I also urge those people to not play XIV at all since it's a polytheistic game that good <insert religion>s here shouldn't be a part of.

Also, nice analogy. Commenting on my stating that if marriage is opposite sex only that I don't want to see it in the game, and comparing it to you killing virtual kittens. Way to board the special train.

I'm not a "must haver." I said if it's going to be in the game, it needs to be both types of marriages, otherwise it can stay out.

Your position isn't of a "middle" ground. It's of the, "I don't believe in same sex marriage, thus I don't think it should be in a fictional world, so I'll make asinine analogies and call people "must havers" who simply want both or neither." It was never an issue in XI, except for those of us ticked that it was only opposite sex. Times have largely changed now and if SE doesn't want gay marriage in their game, then they shouldn't have any marriage in their game.

How am I possibly a "must haver" when I said I'll never use the feature in the first place?
