Sundrop Dance REALLY Needs Reanimated for Females

[Gunspec]

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.

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.

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.

So an reexamining it, it IS different than the males, but still not as muted as what my character performs. The only motion in my leg is a slight heel tap, but Linu Vali is clearly moving her entire leg. The arms are the different angle as well, but again it looks much more forceful.

I don't know, maybe it's a limitation due to the vanu vanu model frame. But its still a disappointment after seeing that dance for 6 months, and then getting a different one because someone in the real world designed a weak dance for ladyfolk.

It's like showing us the manderville dance, but then having a weak version for females because it was actually a real dance from somewhere that a majority of players have never seen before.

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

No, just whining that it looks lame. And yes, I realize I'm calling a dance performed by real people in the world lame but so be it. I also think the macarena is lame.

You might want to rewatch that cutscene again and again till to you SEE that her legs are NOT bent squatted like her brother's legs. If this is the whole issue that people are complaining 'bout, then you might want to also rewatch the video that was provided by Dragonslayer over and over to see that similarities in both the cutscene and that video. The developers got it right. Don't like it, too bad.

That cutscene is less laughable on a male character, it looked like something straight out of a parody video here. I suppose that's more to do with giant ferocious looking owl creatures being afraid of dances more than anything else.

Yeah, I think my main reaction to it was hampered by being in full warrior ensemble when I did the quest, and then my making the softest motions possible startles the enemy. My walking animation has more heft to it than that dance.

It's best when you put on some make-up and dress in thavnairian garb. Want bonus points? Do it as Lalafell.

If you see it carefully, her dance is different with her brother.

And please, no need to debate this again. We don't have bunny ears for males yet so let this dance exclusive for male for now.
