Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[Reika]

SGR (Same Gender Relationship/Romance) in SWTOR is only going to be available if you buy their expansion and it's going to be quarantined to a single planet.

Thats wrong in its own way.

Did they actually use the word 'quarantined'?

And that is entirely not what this thread is about. If you'd like to make a thread about polygamy please feel free to do so, however this thread is solely about same sex marriage. The title says feedback but the entire OP and poll associated with it deal specifically with same sex marriage.

No offense, but it's not on you to decide that.
This is the thread that will be most likely the one considered when it comes to marriage feedback and the thread that was about same sex marriage only was deleted.

the fact that in FFXI it was only possible to marry one character was a problem for me, because i had 3 chars on one account with 2+ jobs on 75, which could not be married to the same person.

polygamist marriage would solve that problem as well.

when a mod reads this and thinks it doesn't belong into a marriage feedback thread, it can be deleted np.

They didn't use the word quarantined, but that's basically what it is. Same-sex relationship is only available in one area of the game, and is invalid elsewhere, and you have to pay for it.

This is all following their damage control of deleting any forum posts about same-sex relationships, whether positive or negative, and then having press release about how "gay and lesbian does not exist in our world".

OMG utter FAIL.

But that's different than here, though. In SWTOR this is in dialog with NPCs, and either they or you will be making obvious flirts or passes.

To quote the OP:

So since Yoshi asked about feedback for the same gender marriage why not providing some so we can get an idea if the FFXIV player base wants them or not.

It's a marriage feedback thread, specifically focused on same sex/gender marriage. I didn't decide it, the very first sentence of the thread, and the poll specifically asking only about same sex marriage, did.

At any rate the proposed system already works with two people, all most want is to remove the gender restriction. That is far less work than having to re-create the system to work with marrying multiple people as that creates a whole new set of issues to deal with just as far as the game is concerned.

An alternate fix to your problem would be simply to have marriage be account wide, perhaps as an option if enough wanted choice in the matter.

okay here is my statement that conforms with the OP:

either same sex marriage AND multiple character marriage
or none of it.

[Nevrath]

They just shouldnt call it marriage and instead "bonding" or something like that.
Also they should just implement it silently without makeing a fuzz and probably no one will notice anyways.

Bioware handled the situation in SWTOR horribly.
They ended up offending all the partys. But i guess blame the publisher not Bioware.

We should just leave that "marriage" term to those who feel its their tradition/whatever/sacred thingy and invent a new word for people who love each other and want to promise themselfes to their significant other for the rest of their life.

And to reiterate the rest of my post that you seem to have missed:

^^ Now THIS is a great idea.

This will prevent people who make a big deal out of this issue from being able to, while allowing those who like to roleplay a chance to stretch their imagination muscles. It's perfect imo. I definitely endorse this.

That is the most popular idea that has been thrown around a number of times here. It would solve the problem while creating no others. Sadly the reps have never acknowledged it as far as I've seen, hopefully they can eventually give us some definitive word.
