What about in-game weddings? Any chance for 2.2?

Q: Will it be possible to get married? Also, will same-sex marriages be possible?
A: We previously released a screenshot of a sanctum in the woods.

So when the era came to an end, something happened that led to the sanctum being rediscovered. So what is this place for? Well, in creating a world, we wanted put anything in it that is close to reality. Marriage is one of those things. That’s why we built the sanctum--so that characters and players can get married. The system for weddings--proper services and such--might not be available right from the beginning. It’ll most likely be added in a patch. However, we’ve already prepared a place for it.

As for same-sex marriage, this is an extremely controversial topic that has been under discussion in the MMO world for the past few years. First we would like to start out with opposite-sex marriage, and then consider the feedback from our players in order to make a careful decision.I can’t say whether or not it will be possible at this point in time. I’d like to keep dialog open with our players as we deliberate the matter.

2.2 or 2.3?

I think it has been said that this will be coming in 2.3 most likely? Don't have a source just at this moment though.

Who's? The poster that responded to me? Or Yoshi-P's? Because my quote was directly from Yoshi in a live letter.

How about Chocobo raising? possible in 2.2?

[0:56:38]
Q: Please tell us more about chocobo raising.
A: We'll first release the housing system, and once it's implemented, we will introduce the chocobo stable which can be placed in your yard. Once you place a chocobo stable in your yard, you can raise a chocobo.

In version 1.0, personal chocobos obtained through the grand companies were all male. However, in A Realm Reborn, you will be able to breed and also raise chocobos.

How about additions to our retainers?

[1:11:23]
Q: Could you give us some details about retainers? Will you be able to order them to gather materials? Will it be possible to change their appearance when you hire them? What about changing the name and race of our existing retainers?
A: The retainer’s role of selling goods and storing items for you will not change. In the future, we plan to add features that let retainers do other things for you as well, such as gathering. In essence, we want your retainer to seem more human, as if it were a real character.

You'll be able to keep their names, but we will be preparing a re-hiring flag, which will allow retainers previously released from service to be re-hired. Since retainer names are unique, there may be cases where names will overlap, making it necessary to re-name them.
