Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[SkyeWindbinder]

here's the post you spoke of.
i marked it with the 2 options you mentioned.

maybe i didn't get you quite right, but the result of both options - no matter how much work it would be for the devs - would be the same:
we've got more than 1 character married to the same person.

the only difference i see in those 2 options is that in option B we only have one ceremony and in option A we have more than 1 ceremony.
i was never speaking of marrying more than 1 person in the same ceremony.

so where's the big deal with allowing more than 1 soul partnership or w/e.
the gay minority here wants to be heard, but what about bisexuals as example that don't want to choose between man and woman, but a relationship to both genders?

(oh and everyone please forget about that damn teleport ring. when teleport to everywhere becomes as easy as Yoshi-P recently announced that'd be quite useless anyways.)

In that case, what you probably want is the ability to marry someone regardless of what gender they are, male or female. (Then again, that's what people who want SSM want as well, so whatever.) I think you're suffering from a gross misunderstanding as to what being bisexual means. Being bisexual is not defined by having more than one partner each of different genders, it means you have no preference over either gender as a mate. And if SS bonding is allowed in the game, I'm pretty sure bisexual people will be quite satisfied, as they can pick their soul mate from either gender.

howabout... no marriage system. because its the worst idea since even before the Twilight movies.

i was talking about a bisexual that wants to have a relationship to both genders. at a time. that means 3 people involved.
it was an example.
i didn't say that bisexuality is defined by such a polygamist partnership.

So, your argument is not for bisexuals, it's for polygamists. Because they're the ones who will not benefit if a relationship such as the one you described is not enabled. Bisexuals should be fine.

you realize you can be bisexual and polygamist at a time, don't you.
when i choose a polygamist lifestyle as a bisexual i don't loose my bisexuality...

but i get what you mean.
yes, my main concern is still for polygamists, the bisexual was just an example.

Yes, I know you can be bisexual and polygamist at the same time. But I also know there's a stark difference between being bisexual and polygamist. I don't think polygamy is going to work, because of the perks that come in this game from having a soul mate. I also think that having a mate is going to be defined as a special bonding between two people in this game. I just don't see polygamy requests working out too well.

I think it's fine to have SSM in the game. I mean we are in 2013 it's not much of a big thing now a days. Personally I feel that people should love who they want to love and not be judged by people. Again that's just my opinion. Further more it is a game that supposedly supports customization to the players liking. I think if SE is going to implement something they should implement it across the board so that all players can play the way they wish to play or not implement it at all. I mean really what is the point of this "marriage" concept anyway? The game will be awesome even without this lol But if they do decide to implement this concept I think they should make it possible for SSM just as much as OSM. I think it's about being fair to the entire FFXIV community. ^.^

Oh, if only everyone thought that way. We'd have a lot less death and anger and a lot more happiness and peace in this world. Alas, they don't. Which is why it's best being left out of the game altogether. It can only bring trouble, no matter which way you go with it.

[Atoli]

I think the problem after all is that SE made a big deal of it themselves.
If they had just implemented marriage as "a bond between two people" without defining their gender, maybe no one would have bothered saying anyting about it.
Or even if, they could have said "It's more simple that way, we'll just leave it like that".
But by actively putting a gender-check in there and telling the world "It's too controversial for us" they make controversial what otherwise wouldn't have been a big deal.

Like, you know, other gaming companies did it.

Remember that part in The Lorax movie when they're singing and that one guy goes:

"I say let it die!"

"Let it die, let it die"

"Let it shrivel up and die!"
