In-game marriage, will it make a return?

You know SE is based in Japan yet you keep referencing things that happened in America as if they're some sort of major thing Japan should be concerned about. (Japan isn't America)

There is nothing wrong with equality and fairness but if a company rejects one little demand of same sex marriages, then who are you to go up in arms over their decision and throw up a petition just because they went with their beliefs?

As for business in Japan, they have laws (bans actually) on discrimination regarding sexual orientation (and that's it), homosexuals in Japan still conceal their sexuality there and marry the opposite sex.

As for a game where miqo'te act like whores, you must be unaware of Japan's Red Light District, where they're "Whores" but hold themselves up to a certain standard, but what they portray in the english version of FFXIV doesn't reflect the reality in Japan.

SO what if I refer to things in America. You do as well. You keep saying America has looser views on homosexuality. In reality they still don't I ask you to go anywhere in the southern states of america and tell them you're gay. They'll mostly likely run you out of town because of being deeply religious. Same goes with some places in Northern America as well.

Again you're saying I'm going to go up in arms over it. No I said we, not I, (the ones who would like to have it implemented) could try to petition they're rejection of it. I never said I'd go over there and force them to do it. That's just plain stupid.

As to the whores I was refering to the miquote in the miner's guild who hit on you and tell you they can do it. SE America translated it and maybe did some generalization of it however but still I didn't say it was wrong. I also know about Geisha's and the red light district of Japan.

The laws may be about the human beings themselves but that doesn't stop the japanese companies from making hentai and ecchi games invovling gay and lesbian couples. A lot of gays and lesbians still hide their preferences and marry opposite sex here in America as well. America isn't as liberal as most people think it is. Yes we have some freedom but people still can live in fear of being harmed or humiliated by friends family and coworkers just by them saying they're gay.

I ask that a dev again tell us exactly what the guide lines are for Japan on this if they would be so kind to interject since they correspond with their japanese counter part better than we can.
