All i want is to have the more cool looking idle poses of fem chars for both DRG and DRKs! More so for DRGs, since the male pose when u have your weapon out looks more suited for fem chars with that 1 foot up thingy, and fem DRKs' "Heimdal-like" pose looks more imposing if you have this big, bulky hyur standing in your way.
please SE! give it to me!
Is it just me? unsheathed poses for male characters

To be fair the male DRG pose is Kain Highwind's iconic dragoon pose.
But yeah that DRK pose would be nice for everyone. -

What..... is this doing in lore forums though?
-
12-31-2015, 12:51 AMLambdafishThose poses have background and history that must be shared with all. We can deconstruct the history and lore if everyone has them!Quote:

This... isn't a lore thing?
... but the female DRK pose is likely intended to homage Saber from Fate/Stay Night. It's just your usual sword plant. (Do wish it were cool as the male pose tho...) -

12-31-2015, 04:04 AMVejjiegirlI don't think this one is correct. Fate Stay Night isn't a Final Fantasy Game. (its an Anime by Type-Moon)Quote:

Isn't Yoshi-P a fan of Fate/Stay Night?
-
12-31-2015, 11:16 AMNiwashiTrue, 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:

Judge of Wings

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. -
01-04-2016, 12:14 PMRiusvellCorrect me if I'm wrong, but the male MCH pose could very well be Vincent's pose.Quote:

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.

01-05-2016, 02:56 AMMimiluI think it might be more like Balthier's because the legs are more seperated versus Vincent's, where the legs are together.Quote:

01-05-2016, 04:19 AMRiusvellThing is, Balthier doesn't hold his weapon like that. He holds it over his shoulder. Vincent's pose is far more similar than Balthier's. 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.
