Suggestion - Gender equality "Battle Stance", "Victory Pose" and weapon idle emotes

[Krotoan]

.... *clicks on spoiler chat*...

look.. I just wanna stand like the other guys/gals stand sometimes alright? It looks neat. I really do not wish to engage in the equality war. having the option would be nice. .. please. Thank you.

This thread has gone off the fucking rails. It's just people asking for /cpose with weapons to be unified, same with /Bstance and /Vpose. The whole discussion about equality and gender differences has nothing to do with FFXIV, get over yourselves. Please, thank you, bye.

I think it fine the gender lock as I said male and female are basic on how we hold weapon in really yes they different how men held great sword in medival age and woman hold them. I think limit leave more room for creative more amazing option to expand male and female emotions that why I want more emotion for male and female no less. you want carbon copy male stance to female stance doesn't that remove the unqine of creative between male character and female character. character are unqiue leave them to be unqiue we still run in character that look similar to are own that almost look like twins yet player behind that character made they character unique. to my criticality goliath sword was 6 feet long it maybe shorter them the buster blade but that big sword back in those day toke a lot strength to lift. great sword are also 6 feet long in dark age men weild them because they had upper body strength to do It if I think back to time when men fought in full plate armor men must died of over heating. they stance the male samurio have that pretty cool hold the katana backward while be idle female character don't have that stance while idle I like but I fine with not have it. I fine with female and male character be different I think a lot players are fine with this too.

another question how much does metal weigh in ffxiv it could be like mithal weigh as light as feather.

While this statement is true, it doesn't really apply to the topic stated in the title of the thread.

The battle stance/victory pose emotes aren't too different from each other (as far as I know). It wouldn't really hurt "creativity" for a female RDM to be doing collar part of the victory pose emote, instead of the hair flick part.
Likewise, the weapon idle stances just involve holding a weapon differently. Personally, I'm a big fan of FF4 and Dragoons, yet I can't use the famous Kain pose due to the simple fact that I happen to be playing as a female character.

Thiiiiiis!!! Why am I locked out of the iconic dragoon pose bc of character gender? That's silly SE. Let me cycle between them.

Then let me give you another, which ends with, "In summary, the fundamental paradox may best be explained as a conflict within ourselves--a conflict between our biological and cultural heritage on the one hand and our more contemporary aspirations on the other," and, "As these mixed findings suggest, the internal conflict between who we have been in the past and who we wish to become in the future is evident in our lives as well as in our data. The same traditional gender roles that facilitate men's and women's attraction to each other may also, in the context of egalitarian social ideals, impede their ability to communicate and lead to dissatisfaction in their relationships. As much as we might like to eliminate such conflicting elements in our theories about human social behavior, our understanding might be better served by openly acknowledging and confronting them."

I would posit that an egalitarian view is incorrect. Certainly, there is a level of equality among all human beings, but there is no denying that men and women are not only physically different, but psychologically different. Disrespecting and eliminating such differences will only further erode our humanity, and give further rise to the cited "internal conflict."

What in tarnation are you talking about?
I knew that in this 13 page screw-fest someone has to take away from the OP and completely derail it off the rocks.
Hi, this is about how characters stand in a video game. My pea brain can't comprehend whatever you're saying
because you made a mountain from a mole hill and went left field on us.

Furthermore, why do you guys get so pissed off of every single thing?
Title wasn't the best, you can't edit titles and OP apologized for poor word choice and you're all trying to send her to the stake.
Stop it already, Jesus Cripes.

That said, yes I would like for this to be unlocked either way lol.

We don't want carbon copy unified we just want both of them so we can pick and choose.

I made female because I like how she looks.


But how is just wanting gender locks removed and more poses for all making a mountain out if a mole hill.

first off in video games we have two gender of miq'ati because people complain original the were only female. I will ask for more gender base emotions. when come to video games male and female are base on really genders which right now are culture is tried total destroy for sport to movies to the way men sit on public transit. I would like one place were men aren't the target for destroy or woman aren't every I hope it would be video games. male and female are different. I fine with gender lock animation because aleast nobody be attack here. male and female are different in rl why shouldn't they remain the different in video games. I love see more gender lock emotion not less personal.

how are people on this thread building a mountain out of mole hill because this thing barely noticeable in game there 3 emotions that you want unlock they not important to your enjoyment of the games yet your make 13 page of thread demand them to be unlock because it suit your feeling or hurt them. ffxiv has come lightyear since we had only female miq and male of another races. through we back to deal with on other races in 1.0

the reason I care is I am a escapist I believe that one should sit down infront of a video game be able escape the world demand and have fun together and now worried about PC culture or other group tried destroy the game or tried change the game I believe in have fun and not tried bring any for of political or an ideal threat to bring political or remove for fantasy for the game through of my belief of fantasy being basic off of reality

Okay, but how does this apply to the fact that female characters can't use the weapon idle pose used by one of the most famous dragoons (Kain) in the entirety of Final Fantasy?
Will your escapism be completely shattered simply because of a female character holding a weapon differently?
