Sundrop Dance REALLY Needs Reanimated for Females

[Kalsoa]

Was looking forward to this dance...and it looks pathetic on female characters, minimal movement and barely any energy to it, while males get a much more powerful looking dance. Can this please be put on the same level as the male version?

Everyone is just going to point out that it's based on a real life dance, of which the female version is similarly muted and weak. Blah blah blah. Of course, the female Vanu Vanu from the story quests performs the male version, and it actually looks powerful. Pretty silly for a female to come running in during the cutscene and blow enemies away with tiny movements like our characters do.

Whether you like it or not, it is based on the haka, a real life dance. The males are more aggressive while the females exhibit softer movements. Study up.

I think it should simply be renamed.

"Sunderp Dance" sounds about right. Or maybe "The Alexander".

So then why does Linu Vali perform the male version? I learned this dance from her, so why is my character performing it differently?

So then why does Linu Vali perform the male version?

She's essentially using the "male" model, as a proper female Vanu Vanu model was not created.

Not implying that female Vanu Vanu need to look different, but the model used is essentially made up by mostly males.

[ServerCollaps]

wait, there are female vanus? thought they are all male ...lol

So then why does Linu Vali perform the male version?

Uh, she doesn't? Check again. I just finished the Vanu Vanu quests yesterday, so I know for a fact she does the softer female version of the dance.

Oh boy now that a proper explanation has been given, is this where people start whining for video game equal rights?

There's a cluster of 3 females doing the muted dance on the island, too.
