In-game marriage, will it make a return?

[Ingolf]

LOL Ingolf that is kinda creepy XD
I have to ask, though... were you sad that you missed your own wedding?

I guess I found it more funny than anything, I logged in and I was at the metalworks and I was thinking "huh... why would he have logged me out here here?" Then I noticed the matrimony band and the certificate in my mog house lol. It kinda felt like I was in Vegas and woke up married, I don't think my mule knew what had happened at all.

Hopefully this gets implemented down the line!

About discrimination... I wonder if inter racial couples would be a feature since we are going to get female/males versions of all... I mean a Roe x Lala combo! o.o

I think if they implement this, anyone should be able to marry any gender of any race. Love knows no boundaries.

Roegadyn should be able to marry a lalafel.

I really hope the system makes a return, I've always regretted not having the chance to marry my husband in FFXI. We share the same last name in FFXIV but it would be nice to have a proper ceremony and some sort of benefit along with it.

I have the same situation where we share the last name alreaady, but I would like a ceremony as well. ^^

I think that in game weddings would be really cute.

What I'd like this time around is that each race has a unique look to the wedding dress/suit.

They should also make it easy to do cause the FFXI booking/etc was a pretty big pain.

SE changed how you booked/did weddings a few years ago. The wedding GM's went away and it became... well kind of vegas style as Ingolf mentioned lol.
All you had to do was party up with your beloved & have enough gil to purchase the rings, certificate & wedding gear from a treasure chest in whichever city you liked best. If you wanted a more official (feeling) ceremony you had to find your own celebrant from your friends or just not have one at all.

I don't think I would want one quite that easy because I really liked the dialogue of the celebrant GM ^_^;

Also... I remember being in Jeuno one morning when a couple got married at the church there. All of a sudden I heard wedding bells, saw confetti and lots of {Congratulations!} in Japanese as the couple walked out side by side. <3 ^_^
I like that much more then just buying the stuff from a chest somewhere.

This was a really nice touch in SE's previous MMO. I remember waking up Sunday morning, logging in to my computer, because I was late to attend a wedding in Sandoria. My brother asked me what I was doing waking up so early, I said, I have a wedding to go to. And my date was already waiting by East Ronfaure forest! She was like, "why are you late?? I can't walk in without you!" We both walked in when the ceremony already started and it was embarassing.

Will it make a come-back? I want to attend more in-game weddings.

I don't think the demand is high enough and honestly the community isn't quite the same in FFXIV. Though I wouldn't be against it if they did decide to bring it to FFXIV. I am all for more options in this game.

I would like to see in-game marriage again. Being married in XI was alot of fun! Even if I don't get married in XIV, I can think of a few couples who probably would.

I'm all good with in game marriage as long as you can divorce and if there's same sex

[Zantetsuken]

SE should just set up an instanced gathering hall (have it cost 50k to reserve it for an hour or so) and let players handle their own events (weddings, funerals, domestic life-partner couplings, crafting competitions, lawsuit proceedings, board meetings, bunny jump contests, etc...)

Just stay away from the mess that was the FFXI wedding system.

On a personal note: In MMO games "Marriage" is really meaningless term.... It's not about starting a family/procreation or even sexual unity... so it's really just what... 'exclusive friendship'? BFF certificate? A way to give someone access to your stuff? (could just share login/pass for that)

So why have them? To celebrate your official bonding with a friend? That's fine, you can do that now without the devs wasting time building a system around it. If the game doesn't have a script running that gives your BFF party a thumbs up, then you are lacking something?? I find it hard to believe that one's emotional well-being is really dependent on a stamp of approval from an AI system, but if so, that person may have some RL issues they need to address.

TL : DR? A MMO "marriage" system is functionally useless and not worthy of serious attention. To the degree that it IS taken seriously, it becomes rather creepy/pathetic.
