The wedding service that has blessed countless couples in the holy bonds of matrimony will soon be reborn as an easier-to-use and even more extravagant service!
All of you out there thinking about a beautiful wedding in Vana'diel, why not ask one of the in-game NPCs about that special moment with your partner that will stay with you forever?


The wedding service that has blessed countless couples in the holy bonds of matrimony will soon be reborn as an easier-to-use and even more extravagant service!
All of you out there thinking about a beautiful wedding in Vana'diel, why not ask one of the in-game NPCs about that special moment with your partner that will stay with you forever?

It's been difficult to answer all the wedding requests up until now due to the restrictions on weddings such as applications needing to be submitted by a chaperone and Wedding Masters being overbooked. Taking all of these issues into consideration, we've re-evaluated the entire wedding process and have decided to implement a new wedding system with the following features. We hope that everyone who's ever dreamed of getting married will soon realize that dream.

A new wedding page!

Starting with the knowledge you'll need to get married, you might want to first take a look at the special wedding page we plan to add in the near future. This page will be packed with information on the Wedding Masters' lines and movement as they preside over the ceremonies and the vows exchanged between the bride and groom. No longer will you have to apply for a wedding ceremony and restlessly wait for the results of the lottery. Using the wedding page for reference, just pick whatever date, time, and location you want and you're ready to go! It's that easy!

Wedding Masters will regularly show up around Vana'diel!

You can expect to start seeing the Wedding Masters as NPCs in the three nations pretty soon.

If you've used the wedding page as a reference to conduct your own wedding, you can equip the rings that you exchanged during the vows and speak together with one of the Wedding Master NPCs in the three nations. The NPC will present you with a "marriage certificate" as proof of your wedding in Vana'diel. Since this is a furnishing, you can use it to decorate your mog house as a memento of that oh-so-important day in your life.

*If you've gotten married through the regular wedding service, you can also receive a marriage certificate by speaking with the NPC together while your wedding rings are equipped.

A plethora of vibrant wedding items available!

All of the necessary wedding items that up until now only the NPCs had carried such as the Wedding Master's wedding bells, items for playing special music only heard at weddings, and rings and dresses, will soon be on sale for anyone who needs them.

Make your wedding ceremony even more glamorous with Player Event Support!

How would you like to design and produce your own wedding or maybe even a friend's?!
With over 200 objects available for placement, a huge selection of areas to choose from, and even the ability to change the dialogue used in the ceremony, by using Player Event Support, you can make an infinite variety of ceremonies come to life with your ideas!

Future schedule

The new wedding service is scheduled to start on November 18th (Wednesday). The regular wedding service will be concluding on November 17th. No wedding applications will be accepted after November 1st (Sunday) 10:59pm (PST).




They must be really understaffed if they ditched the team that does this.

[Vandalhart]

I'm wondering if that confirms the update day as November 17th.

[Not Kuno]

I think thats just as far ahead as you can schedual. So if you planned a wedding on the last day of october you can register for nov. 17 or whatever.

[Septimus]

They must be really understaffed if they ditched the team that does this.

The Wedding staff must have gotten Raptured up.

But it is possible that they moved the wedding staff to the community even organization team.

I'm wondering if that confirms the update day as November 17th.

Square would consider November 17th to be "Early November".

And it would explain why they have been so stingy with update notes so far, they are stringing it out as much as possible. Well, beyond my whole "everyone has been taken off of FFXI to work on Rapture and now we have two unpaid college interns making all of the FFXI content" conjecture.

[Classikmage]

Looks more like they are just trying to downgrade FFXI GM staff as much as possible do they can transfer them to FFXIV.


I'm still waiting for my ASA Site update, I wanna see what stats/gear piece it's going to have so i can know if it's worth my time buying it.


Though I may buy anyway just to be able to see an army Shanttoto's running around trying to "take of the world". For some reason that pic makes me "giggle like a schoolgirl".

[Argettio]

So we have to look forward to:
* Fishing
* MMM
* Fishing IN MMM
* WotG missions
* Weddings

/sigh

[Toth]

I would say November 12th still because that is when the new CD with all the expansions and mini-scenarios is going on all sale. Of course, if they keep up with the Monday pattern, then it is either the 9th or 16th.

P.S Anyone else take a double talk this morning and stare at the 'update' note in disbelief?

[Izzy]

If I still can't get a divorce...

[Shenrien]

If I still can't get a divorce...

but then the bitch would get half your shit.

[Dymlos]

Really SE, wedding updates? How in Sam's Hell does a wedding update have priority in notes over to job adjustments and this new 'item system'? Apparently from just viewing this, the job adjustment and item system will be complete garbage if this gets priority over those two....

I just have one thing to say SE, one thing only:

[Riki]

So we have to look forward to:
* Fishing
* MMM
* Fishing IN MMM
* WotG missions
* Weddings

/sigh

* mysterious new system involving "items"
* job adjustments that may or may not make a change for that job

This wedding update comes like 4 years too late.

[Kaiyoko]

Damn! Was hopping for mithra/mithra weddings finally and then see this disappointing shit D:

[Kimiko]

If I still can't get a divorce...

/toss "Wedding Ring"

[Virtuous Saint]

How ridiculously sad, anyone who would even THINK about getting married in a video game should undergo a psych exam. Literally the most embarrassing thing you can do in a video game.

[Zumi]

Wonder if 2 mithras can get married now.

[Midnightjade]

So we have to look forward to:
* Fishing IN MMM
* WotG quests
* Weddings

/sigh

^This (altered to reflect the true amount of fail).

[Corrderio]

How ridiculously sad, anyone who would even THINK about getting married in a video game should undergo a psych exam. Literally the most embarrassing thing you can do in a video game.

Eh, not really. Most will fail but I have seen couples get married that met through the game.

Anyway... it's been over a week since we got any info on the update. SE better start delivering soon or this update will suck total ass. I have been refreshing the page every morning for the past 3 days in hopes of getting info on this new item system or job adjustments but no.... SE implied a feature to the game that should have been added 6 years ago.

Wonder if 2 mithras can get married now.

Highly doubt it, which is ironic for a game that has one gender only races.

[Argettio]

* mysterious new system involving "items"
* job adjustments that may or may not make a change for that job

Ah yes,

The system... with "items", how could I forget.

[Julian]

If I still can't marry another guy I can't say that I give a damn about this update.

[Riki]

I really wish they would release the complete patch notes a month pre update so everyone could discuss and drool (or not) about it, instead of releasing insignificant bits once a week that make everyone go wtf.
