Holy Matrimony~

My initial point:


And then:
















And we want more of this in the game?

Devs, this is an extremely controversial issue for many people with very strong opinions on both sides.

Please - for the sake of FFXIV's peace - Do not implement player character Marriage in any form in this game.

-Thank you.

People that think something shouldn't be implemented just because of its Real Life counterpart's controversy need to take a good look at their own insecurities.

EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT mentioned on these forums causes drama. Gamers are a bunch of babies now.

Don't NOT add something simply because of baby tears, because nothing would get added.

Exactly.

I would wonder how many people that don't want marriage (or "gay marriage") implemented for the sake of controversy would've also supported any post-9/11 release of FFVII being censored because of its use of terrorism, and how one tower in it exploded, or even some anime releases got censored in the U.S. because of 9/11 despite being released prior to the 9/11 events. Hell, do they also support SE not releasing certain primals because of the recent Japanese incidents (Leviathan/Tsunami and Titan/Earthquake)?

I know I personally don't agree with the idea of "gay marriage" in the real world, but I also don't agree with government-sanctioned marriage to begin with. At the end of the day though, the fact of the matter is that video games (like films) are meant to be fiction, worlds bound only by their authors or visionaries, and Final Fantasy XIV is one such world.

I prefer your solution. Let the players create their own bonds, but no sanctioned marriages in FFXIV.
