Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[Nix]

Should probably get back on topic.

I hope we can at least get an answer of some kind soon. I mean I know they heard it before with the initial desire for marriage as a whole but we need them to see how the players on this forum at least feel about the restriction specifically.

Amen dude ;;, even though Same gender partnerships won't directly affect me ingame since I always play female characters and my husband always plays male ones - I'd be so happy to see everyone regardless of gender or orientation be able to marry (or bond, or pair or [insert whatever phrase they use]) their significant others♪

The singer, Andy Bell, is gay.

Hmm... looks like I like a lot of gay singers... freddie mercury, george michael, andy bell... if only they didnt do naughty things in the privacy of their own homes when no one was watching and it was none of other people's business... gdi, stupid gays.

This question has already been answered. i just isnt what people wanted to hear. hence three threads in the hot topics about it and several already shut down.

Q28: Will it be possible to get married? Will same-sex marriage be possible?
A28: There will be a cathedral in ARR, and this was created so that marriage can be performed. We will release information on this once marriage is possible. Same-sex marriage is an extremely fragile topic, so for now we would like to only have opposite-sex marriage to start.

The basic trend has been, Rename it from marriage, Just have SSM available aswell, or Get rid of marriage altogether ... SE has the options based on our feedback should they choose to care.

Did you miss the part where I mentioned it being a response to that very announcement? You know that whole bit about a response specific to the restriction, which was first mentioned in that announcement. My whole intention is to get them feedback in regards to the restriction, which they just announced.

Several? One thread was shut down.

Recap of why this is important to what a FF is: FF is ----always---- about friendship and romance (saving the world is just a back drop, dont be silly about that lol). We are now playing an MMO so it is now about OUR friends and romance - not putting in SS(Change name here) is an extreme insult to that romance that has always coursed through FF games.

Dont insult the franchise by denying romance.

I guess i did miss that part. in the thread that was closed down (and yes there was only one that i knew of, i just assumed there was/would be others by the nature of the disagreement) the moderator commented about it

Hello folks,

This topic has been brought up a number of times and Development has been made aware of all the thoughts and feelings, from both sides. I am going to lock this thread, now, as this has been a hot topic in the past, so we are getting no new opinions.

Thank you for your thoughts and support, but some of the posts may need to be removed after we do a full review of the thread.

the idea of having it called something different was in that thread, so was scrapping it all together, so was just putting it in and not mentioning it to anyone. pretty much everything that is also in this thread. was there something new in this one that i have missed? i honestly havent taken the time to read through all 80+ pages of this again so i may have missed a nugget of new info. aside from raising more awareness that this is a controversial and divisive topic i dont think they will learn anything new. thats just my opinion on these threads.

I did catch that one, some neat ideas. I shared similar ideas in a different thread a while back. I was more wondering what all being "married" will mean for your chr. shared housing? rings with a bonus when you are both in a party together? I had a few others but i cant recall them all right now.

"Marriage" adds needless drama

Divorcees have been saying this for generations, in real life.

Why not allow those of the same gender to suffer through the same drama as hetero's, if they wish to?

Furthermore, why aren't you freaking out about all the cross-species marriages this will introduce regardless of the SSM topic?
