One of the things that irks me about Japanese culture is the fact that they seem to ignore LGBT rights for the most part, especially when it comes to marriage. (Fortunately, the Japanese aren't backwards enough to have widespread discrimination on this front, so it could really be a lot worse.) This is why I don't hold much hope for gay marriage in FFXIV.

What I imagine they'll end up doing is just leaving the cathedral open for anyone to do any kind of ceremony for whatever reason. This allows people to be able to orchestrate their own gay marriages, and it would free Squeenix from any (albeit unjustified) repercussions they might face for officially sanctioning gay marriages. From a business standpoint, it's a win-win that has almost no risk, and you can almost always trust a business like Squeenix to go with the less risky solution.

Sorry re reading threads too. Also they don't have to call it "Marriage" either it could be bonding or whatever else they wanna call it ^_^ just another idea on it.
