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

Did not expect so many bigots to come out of the woodworks and get triggered so easily by a Final Fantasy forum title, but upon reflection, this is 2019, and those kinds of people still exist, so uh...sure. Have your emotes. There’s no issue with the suggestion. Your enjoyment of the opposite gender emote has zero effect on my life, so if it’s a positive change for you, I wholeheartedly support it.
They are emotes.
In a video game.
Perspective!

Another game, I won’t name to protect its fan base from the sad vitriol that seems to be infecting this topic, allows an option to toggle preferred pronoun. It only affects NPC dialogue and seems like a nice bit of inclusivity. I suspect the trolls will take issue with something like that too.

Straight up think a lot of people are overthinking this.

You talk about immersion and escapism as reasons for why the divide should be kept, yet I would argue that the divide soils the immersion and escapism more. From an immersion perspective, why is a female DRG incapable of performing the iconic DRG pose? Or why can a male DRK not do the badass cpose that female DRKs get? From a design standpoint, I can see the reasoning, to keep uniqueness between genders, but from an immersion standpoint, it makes no sense. They're poses that each gender is apparently incapable of doing due to some...reason. I would say this does far more to break the immersion and escapism of the game than letting people CHOOSE between the poses.

I don't think anyone is asking for the eradication of all unwanted poses and everyone getting stuck with the same poses. More so, they are arguing for the choice to have the DRG pose or the generic lancer pose for females. As male characters have voiced a want for the female DRG pose as well as the female DRK pose. Allowing others to choose what poses they like, would actually allow for the player to have a wider range to convey their character's personality, thus allowing for a deeper level of immersion and escapism. So, to answer your question. Yes, this divide does mess with my immersion. Because from an immersion standpoint, it makes no sense.

I agree. And I'm one of those people, yet I still agree.

Hey man, there are a million ways to talk about this topic without emphasising "gender equality". If you didn't want to be ridiculed, then congratulations, you played yourself.

I, a female rog/nin midlander, would love to have the male nin idle pose cuz it looks way cooler.

It's interesting how this goes, because when I played as NIN I always thought the female NIN idle pose was cooler. It seems we all want what the other has, so I don't know why this hasn't been given to us yet.

This is hilarious, I'm definitely against PC culture but this thread has little to nothing to do with it. People just want alternate emotes that's it XD

It's literally just the thread title that's triggering people

Dude what are you even talking about lol

OP made the post to ask for everyone to be able to use any pose, that's literally it

They even admitted it was a mistake to even drag gender equality into this at all (which like... am I the only one who didn't think that meant anything remotely political until I saw the sea of weirdly negative reactions on the first page?? Just me????)

It's a request for more options in a video game. It's not that deep (dotjpeg)
