True, but to be fair, FF already has plenty of precedents for bringing in references to other media simply because a developer likes it. (E.g. There's a reason we have characters named Biggs and Wedge in most of the FF games.) If they can bring in names from outside sources, they could probably bring in a stance as well.Quote:

12-31-2015, 12:16 PMVejjiegirlThose are pretty old references though and considering the other stances are based on Final Fantasy Characters I would expect no less from the Dark knight Pose.Quote:

At any rate, statues of knights with broadswords have used this pose for a thousand years, as it's one of the few comfortable ways to pose with one for any length of time. -

Here's a better idea "I Hope"...
why not having the same or different weapon pose for all races, both genders and for all the classes ?
Female MNK, NIN, ACN'SMN'SCH, PLD among others I haven't checked yet, looks really cool. it's almost unfair T_T -

Actually, I think this might be lore related, at least FF lore in general. This piqued my interest now I am curious which past character each pose is modeled after. Like maybe the female Ninja is modeled after Rikku from X-2, or maybe the female Dark Knight is more from the Judge of Wings, like someone memntioned earlier. I can only really guess at the male poses, but maybe the male ninja is Zidane from IX. Machinist could either be Vincent or Irvine. As for DRK though I think the pose is more from Auran from X not Cloud, though neither of them wield an Axe and both poses are similar. I hope everyone speculates more this is actually an interesting topic.

A quick search will show you the poses. I believe the bow one is in XII as well though, for male characters. But me or someone else should check out the victory pose videos that are on youtube.Quote:

Possible WAR reference though.
I suggest you check out these victory pose videos to draw connections with, as Ashe seems to be standing as a Male healer in FFXIV. But that might just be me.
