They all add some sort of romance lol, though most of them where tradiontional love relationships. You skipped 9 btw :P

Until I thought of Tidus X Yuna I was pretty statisfied with the ritual bonding but now... I'm thinking marriage has to be added lol.

SE dont be a puss :P You always love having relationships its often a key point of your game. In FFXIV its our story - so its time to make our relationships. I'm already married* so I'd probably do it for fun but I know of a few real life and in game players that met and married (irl) from FFXI.

* Slowly whittling my wife into playing more and more games but RPGs is hard for her to get into, it will happen I swears it, maybe in FFXX Online but it will happen >.> lol

Yeah the funny thing is I feel even stronger about the marriage system now that you showed that picture and reminded me. I was always aware of the romance aspect throughout FF but these last couple of posts just made me realize the actual gravity of it all.

right? lol I was like meh bonding its cool too.

Then I had some of my OCremix music going and it hit a FFX romance song while reading this thread.

Flipped my table and roared TIDUS SHOULD HAVE MARRIED YUNA! And now I'm pretty set. Marriage is coming.

I'm going to be frank... I'm engaged and my fiance and I will both be playing boy characters this time around. My fiance has wanted to play a male miqote since we started and of course a male mithra since he was playing XI... When we heard the news that there would be no SSM my fiance looked distraught then looked at me and said "I can make a girl character" That moment literally broke me. I literally don't care if they call it marriage or w/e but I will be damned if he will be forced to make a girl character.

While I agree that SE should stop cowering in fear and just allow same sex marriage, if that's not an option then I'd prefer they rename it so they can remove the restrictions. Over 75% of the votes in this post are for it. Honestly most of the "argument" isn't even against same sex marriage, it's against marriage in general lol.

For a Final Fantasy buff you don't seem to have a firm grasp on what Final Fantasy is about.

Not that I am directly trying to defend a marriage concept and equating that to Final Fantasy.

Think about every single thing that's ever happened in a Final Fantasy game from the very first one to the most recent. The characters, the stories, the music, the emotions, the world, the art, everything. If you are a buff you are probably well-read into the background of Final Fantasy development and the developers ideas put in place.

What else makes Final Fantasy a Final Fantasy?

The whole point of it is to build everlasting friendships and bonds with people as you go about saving the world. Romance is all a part of that.

You're argument seems to be predicated on the idea that you can't have romance unless the system gives you a 'stamp of approval'. (Seems a bit contrary to romance, but w/e)

Why not just make an exclusive Linkshell between you and your romantic partner, call all your friends to celebrate, and call it a day?

Yeah I think SE can work with the naming but the "theme" should remain intact. Infact the name should probably be changed along with wordings, this is Erozea and it has its own place (lore).

I think after I finish some homework I'll make "Romance for erozea" sig. I'm usually happy sigless but thinking about SE natural habit of romance.. this is actually a big thing (just in the way of how SE conducts its games, it wouldn't be FF without it).

Like how I responded to Roxy - the name is irrelevant (at least in playing this game, not discussing real world matters). I encourage SE to make their own names and lores when possible.

And I was thinking marriage could be replaced by a more easier to orient by "game play" content like a binding system but - then I remember FF is about friendship but is also about romance. Since this is an MMO and it is obvious that we are not watching someone elses story but playing our own - it is now our friendships and romances. Having a system that supports what a FF IS, is not a bad thing.

Considering I've been saying the complete opposite throughout this thread and to you directly, no lol. Nice try though.

Another retaliation that doesn't even come close to scratching the surface of what I had said.

That would be fine if they weren't adding a marriage system into the game and making it restrictive. It's fairly clear by the live letter that they're already working on it or plan to in the near future. They wouldn't announce it unless it was definite. Whether or not any of our suggestions make it through has yet to be seen.

The point is though, that doing something like that is unfair to same sex couples because they are not allowed to use an existing feature because of their character genders. You're letting these people get married and others aren't. The point of almost all the arguments here is that it's not fair to those players. They shouldn't have to use some unofficial work-around when others are allowed to use the marriage feature.
