Marriage system

[Souljacker]

To be completely honest, the whole "if I can't have it, no one can" attitude is something people were supposed to grow out of in kindergarten.

People should also grow out of the "if I don't understand or like it then it's wrong" - but that's largely the reasoning used when arguing against same-sex couples.

I agree with the OP. It's a hot topic and it's not worth it. Shelve the idea for about 5 years and try again, but don't build discrimination into the game.

To answer your question, I don't believe life revolves around anything at all. Life is just life and it's people who attempt to give meaning to it out of an innate need to place themselves in a position of supreme importance. I was not neglecting the other end, I was simply pointing out that some people who feel wronged stay silent because they realize that in certain instances, such as in a game, its simply not worth expelling this amount of energy into something rather insignificant (and ultimately does more harm than good because it creates rifts in the community).

It is my opinion that, when it comes to real life, same-sex marriage should be legal in every country. It is also my opinion that, when it comes to this game, people shouldnt be getting as obsessive about SE's decision because it has zero effect on the real world them.

People shouldn't get upset about Housing in game. I mean it has no effect on them in the Real world. People shouldn't get upset that a class/job is completely unplayable since it doesn't effect them in the real world. People shouldn't get upset about the ingame economy it doesn't effect them in the real world. You're argument can be said for every damn thread on this board. People wanting to have same sex marriage in game is no less worthy than having balanced classes and dungeons that don't explode.

Exactly. The meaning is found in actions, and only by our actions can we try to impact the outcome. I don't find it an "innate need to be in a position of supreme importance" to try and help equality's cause. A starting point to acceptance, that straight and lgbt rights should be equal has to be somewhere, and for some people it might just as well be this game. It would be a mistake to ignore little things such as this, because as insignificant as it sounds, it contributes to something greater entirely.

An attitude like that, as noble as it sounds, is like giving up a fight before it's even begun.

Edit// I'm starting to feel like some love's messenger here. Better go find me a garland of coltsfoot and start preaching love like it was a religion.

SE, this is a serious request and I ask for you to close this down immediately when someone goes OT since we have enough of those.

Request: please do not allow a marriage system in FFXIV at all!

Reason: too much emotion and political stuff. With the last live letter, the threads also gone really live in a very negative matter.

If people want to rant about same-sex marriage, NOT in this thread! There is like 6 out there started his morning. This is for all the people like I, who wish to play the game and have SE focus on new jobs for example rather than dealing with this topic.

So you want a group to scrap a project that they've worked hard on just because of whiney Americans? (I''m an American too) Get real. People were paid for the work they did and people paid to get it done. Just let them do what they're doing and respect it/don't participate.

Either way, I can't wait to look like a sir in my wedding tux.

Can I have little miqo'te children after getting married?

Implement it, don't implement it.

Game will still go on.

After removing a particularly off topic discussion from the thread, I will be locking this thread. The appeal to not include a system in the game is certainly worth discussion, and you are free to express your support of the idea using the "Like!" button. However, the thread itself has fallen quite off topic from that discussion and is focusing on real life legal hurdles and issues. The thread will be locked so that the points currently brought up, including the original appeal to not implement a system, remain available to view.
