These would be a nice addition to FFXIV. I remember going to a few of these for friends, and myself being in my own. Lots of fun and memories in these. Personally I think they should go ahead and allow same sex marriage in game, to support everyone's individual requests. After all would be in their best interest to see all their players happy. Doing so ensures this for everyone, where as keeping it from happening only upsets the many different personalities we have in the game. So I support and agree one-hundred percent! I never fully understand how people fail to understand that not everyone will be like them, nor think like them. Everyone should accept everyone's different views and understandings ^^;

Yeah, formal suits are nice and all, but it would be cool to see something fabulous too.

But shared housing would be the best part about marriage :<

Really, if all the items stored in the house weren't shared, it's limited how much damage someone could do. One of them would have to actually gift the other player the item, which there is no way to prevent people from doing even without marriages.

Agreed. Even France is now going along with the idea of allowing same-sex marriage, when it was hardly possible even to imagine only six months ago. Everything changes so fast in real life, so why not in FFXIV? Square Enix isn't Bioware, but well, Japanese seem quite tolerant to me, assuming those I've met are representative of the whole people. ♪

I told you this marriage request would lead into the typical fights about same sex marriages... we just can't have a simple discussion without bringing in political/Trivial real life matters into games can we?

I haven't seen any real fighting over same sex marriages just discussions. And most of them are saying to allow the same sex marriage not to disallow it

Name something cultural that hasn't become political recently...

Since the 1970s, politics has increasingly become the battle ground for what are actually wars over culture -- at least in the US.

If you are a company who desperately needs general appeal for your product, the last thing you will want to do is to to fling themselves middle of a hot-button issue - especially when you don't have to.

Stay away from marriage completely (as an official part of the game) -- Trust me, SE will lose either way if they add it.

Anyone who says otherwise is pushing an agenda.

I must agree with Rannie, there hasn't really been any fighting, simply people stating that they think there should be no discrimination on the matter. We have all managed not to get into an internet-screaming fight over this matter (shocking isn't it...) and to simply state our own opinion.

@Mirage Actually that sounds like a good idea. I'm not 100% against shared housing, I simply saw that perhaps annoying problems might arise from it, though I do like your idea on the matter.
