not fair the female day knight weapon out stance is way cooler then males

I remember seeing this same topic, but with Dragoon male.

And Square should have learned from that.

I remember seeing this same topic, but with Dragoon male.

this's probably to balance out DRG Male's cool weapon out stance for the girls.

EDIT: actually, now that I think about it, the guys get one set of stances for the jobs/classes, the girls get a different one. Male DRGs get the 'Iconic Kain Stance', Female DRKs get 'Saber's Stance'. I think the coolness of the look for the female DRKs is also to balance out the dorkiness of their MNK stance...

The female stance for some reason reminds me of Saber from Fate Stay Night. There's was a set of armor mixup I had when I was leveling DRK too, completely unintentional, that made me look like Gilgamesh from the same series. It was simply perfect.

to be fair male and females should normally have different stances >> look at FFXI every single race had difference stances for different weapons and honestly i like it not the same copy paste

Males seem to have Cloud Strife's 1997 stance, albeit it looks a tad modified. It's not the "new age" wimpy look he seems to have now. Just as Male mch seems to have a modified 1997 Vincent Valentine idle weapon stance (weapon appears to be in the left hand opposed to the right as Vincent). Please note I say SEEM to have.

You mean the Dark Knight idle? No way, the male one is way cooler than the "stick the sword in the ground" thing one the females do.

One reason the male Dark Knight's stance is better: Auron.

Would be nice if all weapon stances were unisex, but oh well.

As somebody mentioned the DRK pose was probably an homage to Cloud, just like how the male DRK is an homage to the FF4 Drg:
... even if it does look like how male WARs hold it

I actually like the male Dark Knight idle pose better. When I tried it out on my female character and got the Saber sword in the ground pose I was disappointed. I wanted to hold the sword with one hand, since we got denied that for the axes with warrior.

Why not both? /cpose should have both stances in them..
