Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[inrainbows]

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

It would offend me if it wasn't included. Deliberately denying equality is a pretty offensive thing to do.

Since LGBT isn't approved of in Japan they don't really care if it it would offend you or not.

It's a little odd to see people who think that in-game marriage is a pointless feature, and yet I've never seen any of them against things like achievement points, which serves no other purpose than to have just another number to brag about.

Even if the marriage they're implementing in FFXIV affects nothing else in the game, it wouldn't be the only feature. All games are full of cosmetics that are there to enrich the experience.

In response particularly to Warlock, this also isn't Final Character Creation Fantasy XIV, nor Final Decorate Your House Fantasy XIV, nor Final Emote Animation Fantasy XIV. If you're going to point out every self contained feature that doesn't effect the core gameplay, your list going to have to be a lot longer.

I think the difference is precisely as you have stated. There are many people who crave achievement, and certainly marriage is not an "achievement".

However, there are people who put significant attachment to their characters and I am certain those people (presumably like yourself?) add a fair amount of importance to the concept of validating a relationship over electronic medium. This is especially true if that is where they do most of their free-time with their significant other.

Personally, my wife and I both play and she thinks in-game marriage is silly. I asked her at one point and her response was:

"Is the gear you get worth the gil we would have to spend?"

So there is varying opinions on if the feature should be there but we know it will be in either case so it is (again) a fore-gone conclusion.

sorry I think your wife is silly >.> why should we have to buy gear? I think money should just be there for things like housing and marriage... maybe even vanity outfits... but for gear itself I don't like spending all my money on one piece of gear >.>

No, I feel more that this is a compelling social feature. Another way in which I can interact with the people I play with.

More directly supported rp for the rpg players . One of the biggest reasons* why I'm a fan of changing the name of the system is so that the system can be used by a greater audience (bind of love, or bind for kinship). (Though as I said before the theme should be able to relate the RP's desire - not to remove the marriage (wedding) feature but to rather expand it for other uses and themes as well). * There are other good reasons as well like being able to better develop lore and possibly offending less people

Obviously not everyone will use it anyway but that's like saying fishing should be removed because not everyone plays or enjoys it.. lol (I have a level 50 fisher, example relevant :P).

Any rep reply to the Japanese threads on this subject? It seems all the reps hit hibernation since Bahamut has struck lol.

lol Marriage through a game is retarded if you are forever alone go out and date someone doesn't matter your preference, but to get so defensive and hissy fit at the slightest opposition of something so banal added to a game as weddings is ridiculous. If SE feels generous enough to add this i hope they do it at least 5 years from now after they have implemented REAL FUN stuff to do in the game

What seems "retarded" to you is fun to others. And do you not get that's what it's for? Fun, not actual formation of relationships. How many times do people have to repeat this?

P.S. This is going to be available at launch.

Did they say it was a launch feature? I forget.

But yes, it's definitely confirmed as a forerunner feature along with Housing and Frontlines and stuff, anyway, so either way the nit you quoted looks all the more the fool.

.. Oh hey I didn't post on the actual thread subject o.o

For!

Although I do think the rename it/come up with different theme around it option's a good idea for dodging the controversy and making everyone more comfortable.
