Aetherkin? (Was thinking that the gods/lodestone have something to do with the ritual)

I wonder if a rep can get Yoshi to tell us a little on what they got. May effect the name (or maybe they already have their own name and just didnt write it down yet lol).

I'm guessing your main language isn't english? Some things can get lost in translation and it's easy to take certain things out of context, it happens lol

I think dismissing the discussion with "It's either this or the grass" certainly didn't help though

Quite the opposite my fried, no hatred intended. Indifference yes but no hatred... You'll need to be more specific as no hatred was intended and after rereading my posts i can't see what you see. If you referring to the quoted post. That is how the majority of the world looks on this not my view. Personally i don't care, my plan is get married, have kids, and when they grow up what they choose is there concern.

Basically what Nix has said, your entire point was not coming across to me and now I understand, thank you.

I like calling it a joining. I use that one often in my own fiction.

Love it!

You're all coming up with some really awesome stuff guys! X3

As a hook to the earlier comment I made about Japan's culture being a large issue with respect to why straight up addition of LGBT marriage may be an issue, I present the following article:

Just for those who are interested. It is a few years old but I travel there regularly and I can assure you it is still quite accurate.

"..Imagining them as a flaming queen.." I lol'd

As the article says though it could be good for Japanese LG community for SE at the very start of the system to allow SSHF (same sex hand fasting) and not even make a distinction.

Since what we have now is SE going "we have straight marriages, what do you think about SSM?".

Video games do effect society - not saying FFXIV ARR having SSHF will be a dramatic effect but you have to start the ball somewhere.


Thanks for the link

SSHF (same sex hand fasting)

I hope that term catches on!

Sorry I have been doing some research in to possible word alternatives. What about referring to it as a "coupling"? You can still say that you and someone else are "a couple" or "coupled".

Some alternatives I found:

1. Handfast (already presented, I still like this)
2. conjoining
3. yoking
4. cherishment
5. bi-honoration
6. continuum
7. locked or love-locked
8. well-keeping
9. (this and below you could add the word heart or love to the front) braced
10. joined
11. bound
12. fastened

Just throwing out ideas.

All good ideas and I'm sure if need be SE could think of something.

I don't like the word gambling being associated with the act of playing a game of chance. Let's call it RNG instead so no one gets offended.

In the end it doesn't really matter to me what they call it. From a gameplay standpoint it would be pretty much the same thing, it just allows them to avoid messy PR issues if they really feel they must.

A Thousand posts, wow, SE chose to ignore this it seems >.>
