Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[KiriA500]

Whilst I do agree with you there are many cultures still that will not allow it irl, for example Christians see homosexuality as a sin, if these people knew their child was homosexual they may disown them, or worse. Now imagine these people's parents finding out the married someone of the same sex in game, they could think the player is homosexual because of it, or say that the game is encouraging homosexuality. As someone has said you have seen how some people thing games like GTA is turning all our kids into gun toting murderers/drink drivers/gangsters etc.

If FFXIV got this stigma of encouraging homosexuality it could give SE a bad name, etc. They need to tread carefully to add it, which I personally hope they do. It's not a matter of morality it's a matter of how they want everyone to see SE as a whole.

Why would real world religions have any factor into what goes into this game? Technically, none of them should be playing this anyway, as our characters don't worship the same gods as their respective religions.

I always found the thought of a christian playing a video game to be kind of hilarous.

I personally don't care for gay sex marriage and don't see why it bothers anybody. Though SE will upset people either way. IMO, SE should do all or nothing - include gay sex marriage or just don't include the system at all.

Oh my o_O;;; they're making it?! +18 :O

;P Just kidding, but that typo made me chuckle

I rather think it would be applause for championing fairness and equality rather than a stigma for encouraging homosexuality.

I'm ok with same sex marriages as long as its two females.
That is compromise.
Lets see if the other team can meet me half way at this?

[Molly_Millions]

I dont think a poll is appropriate for this topic. The fragility of the topic goes beyond this simple game, it could negatively affect the company and it's brands if mishandled.

Not allowing it could just as easily blow up in thier face. I say allow same sex marriage in game or no marriage at all. Make things equal in the interest of fairness.

[Stanelis]

It would be pointless to prohibit it, as you can freely chose your gender in FFXIV.

Anyway : who seriously care about marriage in a video game ?

[Royze]

actually, sure why the heck not... I mean we already have beastiality (cross-species relationships) in the game. Galka on Taru, Mithra on Elvaan. Anything goes. I wanna marry a Gobbeu.

Can we have Polygamy as well? I want my own army of wives.

Too many people to quote in regards to my last post, as I said I do agree with you about allowing it, but this is just a taste of what SE has to think about, it gets a lot worse than that in some countries where homosexuality in general is illegal, and it could have huge consequences in those countries. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad, or offend anyone, and if I am offending anyone please say, it's just it's not that easy for SE because it's still a taboo subject in some places.

Again if I am offending anyone please say, and I'll shut up.
