Why? Maybe the interest will cause a response from the devs. The length of the thread doesn't determine when it is shut down.

At first I wasn't too interested in the alternate names but I think there were some good ones in the thread. I like the handfasting/joining one particularly.

Just don't involve drinking the blood of the darkspawn and all will be good.

Huh that's weird...
I added the "yes" and the "no" votes of 476 (yes) and 130 (no), equalling 606 votes in total.
476:606=0,785; in percentage around 78,5%
130:606=0,215; in percentage around 21,5%

That would be 1/5 of votes against SSM and 4/5 of votes for it.

Awesome! I mean with numbers like that the player demand is quite clear.

Oh look, THIS post again. Let the mods decide if it needs to be closed or not. Until then thanks for the bump and post count contribution, keep at it!

Nothing I hate more than back-seat modding. Let the moderators be in charge of that, and learn to fix your signature~

If you're aloud 90000 posts about 90000 different ideas you came up with that they should implement. We are aloud to sit here and discuss on this ONE topic to our hearts content.
It's just surprising someone whose constantly talking about how he wants the game changed his way could be so closed minded about a small change... oh wait...

I have to admit, considering how long this thread has been allowed to go on, I'd say the devs have a genuine interest in the players' thoughts on this subject. So at the very least it gives me some hope that the news of SSM is a serious consideration, rather than a placation.

I don't know if I'd jump to that conclusion, but I am glad that this thread hasn't been locked yet. It's a sign that the community is calming down a bit on this particular issue, which is always good.

I really do hope they can come up with a good solution for this.

It's something. I think they know we need somewhere to discuss this though or else it would lead to a bit of an outcry. We are remaining somewhat civil...

I vote for not having just on the fact that it offends the least people AND it keeps people from "Facebook" marrying eachother.

How do you figure it offends the least people who play FFXIV, or are gamers in general? I mean those are the people the game concerns so in this case those are the opinions that matter. Over 75% of the votes here alone are for it and most gaming blogs/websites don't openly condemn other games that allow same sex relations.

I wouldn't be concerned with non-gamers making a huge deal about it, as they often do. FFXIV is so low key anyway that I doubt many would even notice.

Also as I said before, they don't have to announce it as allowing same sex marriage. They can take a more neutral stance and simply say they're allowing all players to get married. They don't have to openly support it if they simply don't restrict it. Or as many have suggested simply call it something different, for everyone. Completely avoids same sex "marriage".
