Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[Hysterior]

well to be honest if 2 guys/2girls want to get "married" we know for sure there will be chapels in the game.
Just go to one with your friend, make the ceremony yourself and consider married when you deem you are
end of story

no need for NPC to marry you, ask your LinkShell leader to do it

then celebrate by killing 100 mobs in your 2-people party

Really don't see a point in game marriage on either side just play the role in game as a married couple don't need a contract or paperwork to prove your love for each other actions speak louder than any written document.

Thread would have never happened as Arcell states without SE saying "SM allowed, SSM we dont know - what do you think?"

This thread's not really about marriage as a whole. If they weren't implementing it at all then this would be fine. The problem I have is that they're implementing it but restricted. Not fair to a number of their paying customers.

Thought this too - but thinking about how FF is more about the journey with friends and loved ones (specially recent and most popular ones) that adding features to encourage and embellish the greatest parts of what FF means, I think it is necessary and a great choice. I hope they continue to add features that make the world more "wholesome/hearty".

Though of course we should put priority on game (play) content right now as I'm sure everyone agrees lol.

First off, if it's restricted to opposite sex couples for a GM or NPC to preside over the wedding, then it's a slap in the face to same sex couples.

It's another slap if it's like how FFXI marriages originally were, with rings only being available to opposite sex couples.

Its yet another slap if the chapel is only enterable during GM sanctioned marriages, as FFXI's marriage sites were.

No one really cares if they make it so it's not called marriage. No one cares if you can just get rings and dresses/tuxedos and make your own player weddings. People care only if something is implemented that opposite-sex couples can partake in but not same-sex couples. THAT is the issue people have.

If GM sanctioned weddings are in the game, or if there's things like rings in the game, they need to be available to all couples, or they shouldn't be implemented at all. To do so is to segregate part of your community.

I find it cute when people propose a discussion then throw a fit when people don't blindly and unconditionally agree with them. I didn't say a thing about being opposed to gay and lesbian relationships irl or ingame. Like I said before, I am really for the soul partner idea(even for straight couples).

A fit?

Out of every single poster that I've seen in this entire thread I think you've come off as the angriest and most aggressive. Pretty funny that you're calling us the ragers.

I worded that a bit awkwardly

Sums up your posts thus far.

I'm hoping they understand this.

Really don't care if they do or not do same gender marriage, but I also think if the company doesn't want it that there choice and people lgbt should respect that. That also is true for straight people if the company supports lgbt then we should respect that choice both sides have to respect each other's views I no that hard in today's world though can thank the mass media imo. Be thankful your not living in other countries they would burn you alive over there you have it allot better here if the argument is over marriage over a mmo game.

That post was on page 33 >.> for the love of god lol...

I wonder if people would still demand "respect for the Company" if SE decided marriage would only be allowed for same sex couples or all other races than lalafells... :P This is about equal possibilities for all players and their characters.

Anyways, in game same sex marriage is more popular than the Meteor Survivor T-shirts! Please let Yoshi know we want both!

Of course, since people want 'gay' marriage, I assume polygamy is also wanted, because no one's asking for just 'their' pet likes to be implemented, are they. Polygamy is practiced in many parts of the real world.

I doubt however the pro-gays will be pushing for that social variant though.

Do not attempt to sidetrack the topic at hand. Polygamy is something else. If the polygamy community feels the need to address their issue, nothing is stopping them from starting a thread of their own to demand such a right. This topic though, is specifically for SSM.

Actually that's not true.
The topic name is "Marriage feedback".
That's what Kraggy did, he gave feedback.

And i think the question is quite legitimate -
when we respect one sexual minority - what about the others?

[Duuude007]

Its a loaded question meant to distract rather than discuss. Just like arguing cross racial marriage is a distraction.

If these are issues people wish to argue, that is in their right, but please don't muddle the waters here, when it is not the specific topic at hand.
