Uhm if you dont want to discuss dancer or the possibilty that this woman might be a dancer or not, then how about just ignoring this topic? One is not forced to take part in any discussion that is going on in the forum and I would never click on a thread if I find the topic to be boring or not worth a discussion. By posting such a thing in the thread you either let it live on even longer or you could create more hateful posts as an answer to yours and many things more.
How would you like it, if you want to speculate about something that you find fun and people post in your thread that you should stop this joke! I mean Balipu did you not create a thread about Vampires in Eorzea? About wanting them in the game and compare them to other FF games? There was no real evidence of their existence and yet you created a thread. So should the discussion there stop too since there is no real proof anyway? (And before someone takes this the wrong way: I love to speculate about things so I love threads like that because its interesting to see what people come up with.)
I am kinda getting a little tired of people that are eager to discuss the topic they like even if its just pure speculation but take down any topic which they believe to be nonsense even so other people are interested in discussing it..(not only meant at Balipu)
I dont really care if she is a dancer or a monk or something else. I just find the discussion interesting and seeing the end results after all the speculation. Maybe nobody is right and she is her own class with is not available to us. Who knows. There is evidence for both sides and even though I dont really know older FF games I did see some similarities to her with dancers from old games and at the same time I could also just see her as a monk that may had more than one teacher thus having a different fighting style..but as long as the devs, Yoshida or the game tells dont us, we wont 100% know what she is, so saying that any of the side has no arguments is bad..especially since there are more than enough pages with quite good evidence for both sides. (Theoretically the CGI trailer could show us a dancer that for the sake of letting us speculate does not truly show us how the class plays, or maybe that NPC is a combination of monk and dancer thus showing us not truly what a dancer could do) You know, you can take a lot of arguments and flip them around, even more if we dont know the whole truth.
And like I already wrote once, the reaction of the crowd at the stream was quite telling. So either this was done on purpose and they wanted us to believe that she might be a new class or maybe they did not thing that people take it that way. But I believe that SE know what they do and that this was on purpose..if for pure trolling the audience or for giving us a hint..this remains to be seen.
About tags: There was once a thread about offensive tags and the devs did say there that such tags are against the ToS because they are mean. So lets just remember that tags like "its a monk you fools" which even shows the username can be reported and that they can take actions against them. Putting insulting tags down there is imo just showing that the person has no argument left.![]()
