Wedding Bells in Eorzea?

[Nakiamiie]

I support marriage in FFXIV as well, same-sex marriage as well.

Just as a side note, being a biologist specialized in physiology AND studying psychology:

marriage is technically and scientifically pointless.

This statement is false. Science has shown that marriage has a tangible impact on people (mostly positive, but I'll keep the details out, it is not the point of this forum) and is not pointless. It serves many purposes in our society and on a personal level as well (it is far from being only a religious thing). Saying marriage is pointless is simply an opinion of your personal beliefs on the matter, not a fact.

Do me a favor and knock it off already. You've said your piece, and clearly your against it. I've also said that this clearly wasn't as significant as the aesthetics and gameplay, but that this was just something nice to add to add a dimension on the actually role-playing experience.

I want to at least see how many people would like this feature to be incorporated, but if you keep perpetuating this e-drama nonsense: I will see to it that you'll be relentlessly bombarded by me from here on out.

I'm asking you nicely: Please leave.

As long as I'm the best man at your wedding, Naru.

lol yay ^^ and lol Naru! Love Hina ftw

Also, about divorcing.. I think we should be thinking of marriage on a higher level of significance. Treat it as if you would treat the subject in real life. Just know that if you'd want to marry this person in real life, then it should be okay to marry them in game.

If given the option to divorce, its like telling us that marriage in this game isn't important at all, and that you should marry/divorce without a care in the world. That isn't what bonds people together. I know a lot of people that got married irl after meeting their significant other in FFXI, including me.

I met my girlfriend on FFXI, and since we are both Mithra (Also both girls in real life), we couldn't get married but we exchanged rings anyways. (Traded each other the Male Rings)

Now in FFXIV we started our characters with the same last name, Nuru Sanura + Neku Sanura. That alone implies that I plan on things working out for us, and it has for almost our second year of being together. Though, I'd definitely find myself marrying her in FFXIV and even in real life.

I know, right? I do love Haruko/Raharu as well. Although, I could go without taking the bass guitar to my face. xD

EDIT: Holy crap, I just realized I mixed those vowels in your name. @_@

Stay away from her Gantz! D:

No gay marriage please. FFXI had it right.
Not so much because zomg its "gay" but because I dont want to see and hear 13 year olds who obsess over 4chan lulzing over having a gay marriage just because its "funny"
Maybe if I was gay I'd care more, but I honestly don't. I only see negatives coming out of allowing it.

Most people are immature on the net, this is truth. Being gay is no exception to it sadly, so I only see in your faceness coming out of it.

Even if gay marriage isn't implemented, we'll always find away around it just like we did in FFXI.

[Keramory]

Then let them. Out of sight out of mind, which was the whole issue I had with it to begin with remember lol?
Again its not a "must stop the gays!" approach I have, its a "I dont want to be annoyed with it" approach.

Funny the person who mentioned Psychology though, I'm a psych grad and I can tell you...marriage doesnt lead to more positive things for too long, for the most part.

[Shipp]

You don't know me, Marriage is something invented by man and is nothing more then a piece of paper so i don't care who does what with it, if 5 people agree to marry each other, why should I care, if two dudes or ladies want to marry each other.. again, it doesn't impact me so i don't care but I'm not surprised by your assumption. People like you make that assumption often.

The point about it being what people want in game and has nothing to do with RL politics is a good one so while your appeasing two sets of people with opposite sex and same sex marriage please also appease the third and add in polygamy, there is no reason me and my entire LS should be discriminated against when we all want to marry each other.

My point still stands though, this is a stupid feature and there are PLENTY of more important things needed before we get into dumb ideas such as this one.

I know i said i wouldn't reply again but Shipp made a pretty strong accusation and assumption and was WRONG.

@ Hiirnoivl - When the time comes that this feature is built in divorce might as well be built in also, people quit or grow to dislike each other, why wouldn't you want to remarry? Why should people who like to divorce be discriminated against in a game? Maybe after I marry my entire LS I will want to divorce them a day later.

As I said, I don't care about your whole linkshell getting married to each other.

IT IS A VIDEO GAME. I already stated people need to put their real life bias aside when it comes to fictional weddings in a fictional world of pixels. Hence I don't care if you want to pimp out 15 lalafells to a roe or miqo'te. That's your choice.

Then there should be no marriage in a game at all. 4chan already lulzed over the game a year ago. I just finished reading the encyclopedia dramatica entry a few minutes ago and laughed hard.

Oh I'm just thinking of how a Naru and Keitaro wedding would look in FFXIV. More than anything, I think everyone would be left wondering how a bridegroom could be flying through the air across town like that.
