Removing Gender-locked Poses

[Xion136]

I think some of it also comes from the ideas of 'masculine' vs 'feminine.' In terms of the DRK pose, which seems to be the most brought up example, it appears 'more manly' to have a massive sword slung over the shoulder, held with one hand. It's a display of strength. For a female, having it downward in the ground held with both hands is less aggressive (as in, "manly") and more defensive. To be honest, the male pose (as boring as it seems, and yes it's Cloud's) makes a dark knight look aggressive and dangerous, while the female pose puts emphasis on the 'knightly' or 'defensive' ("Tank") side of it.

That said, the ideas of masculine vs feminine have gone out the door since they gave the bunny suit to males. I don't see a point of gender-locks on job specific poses, as long as it stays to the job.

I understand the want for masculine/feminine, I do. The Red Mage at ready poses are a good example of the same intent but expressed differently. The dragoon ones don't have the same intent and it then locks out female DRGs from an iconic pose. Even PLD gives an iconic pose in the Lightning stance - which still doesn't stop me from wanting Cecil's.

Not goin lie, I didn't even notice that the 2 gender had different idol poses till about a year ago.

Still good luck and all but me personally not really a big deal but good luck non the less.

For me, it's a big deal because I love screenshots and well, for me - more options means more screenshots!
