    How about we all do this...Lets find out FIRST if there will be any benefits of being married.....If there are benefits of being married in game then we can discuss if it will only be OSM or both. Like I have already stated it would be unbalanced and unfair of SE to ask players to start a new character after putting up with all the BS we did in 1.0 just to conform to this "traditional values of marriage," based in a fantasy game in which you can cast magic and bring people back from the dead......Do I really need to mention that Bahamut destroyed the world.

    If marriage exists in any form, it should include SSM. Benefits or no. I understand what you're saying, but anything in game that excludes any group of people from it is wrong.

    Speaking as someone in the GLBT community, I find it much easier to get the facts first...before getting bent out of shape. Trust me I completely understand where you are coming from, however we are talking about a game and not reality. My gut tells me that SE will allow all marriages to happen, but who knows. If you want to make a real difference in reality then staunchly support yourself, but remember that sometimes we can agree to disagree and be respectful on both sides. Besides it always annoys the anti-glbt side when you look more mature than them.

    Like I've said, whether SE decides to include marriage or not makes little to no difference to me.

    If it's anything like in XI, its just really a thing for roleplayers or people who meet on the game and end up together. It didn't have any beneficial values to it other than I think a certificate.

    The only thing that sucked there was that you had to have a sponsor/coordinator to fill out an application on your behalf, and wait months for it to happen (if you got selected for the date you chose at all)

    Or not, we can discuss it now and clear the subject since Yoshida wanted our opinions, and the sooner this is over with the better.

    True, better to tear the band-aid off quickly.
