Dancer a bit feminine

[Eloah]

Dear God, we aren't on this whole masculine feminine thing again are we, argh. When are people going to learn the masculine =/= male and feminine =/= female. Look I can understand someone not liking the aesthetics, but do point out how because something is designed in a feminine manner, it's for females. Equality isn't a one way street.

Dedue best dancer.

Well, to each their own, but I think FFXIV DNC is great: flows well and has an amazing aesthetic and style. I feel like the job was literally made for me. Just give it some potency boosts and it’s perfect.

I feel that way about FFXI dancer, I love being able to Support and debuff and stabbing enemies with daggers, I love the waltzs too, their AF gear, it's so perfect and pretty

So much this. Masculine does mean Rough cut, Strong, perhaps more abrupt. Using it as a word doesn't somehow exclude people. Nor does it somehow perpetuate the idea behind the term "toxic masculinity." We can try to be inclusive, but still use the word at it's native value to describe things. I can't believe how many people in this thread got triggered by this word.

The OP basically just wants a few moves from the Hakka or B-boy style. Maybe even throw some tango in there. Tango itself includes male and female dancers, but is a Masculine dance, Meaning Loud and abrupt.

I've just gone through all the DNC skills my Lv60 male Au Ra can access, and I'm not seeing the "soft and feminine" movements that are an issue for the OP.

If anything, I think the movements suit him better than my main Midlander girl - I was trying to take some screenshots of her costume the other night and it was actually hard to find "graceful dancer" poses to use, and certainly nothing that I didn't have to use the gpose "apply emote" feature so she'd be smiling instead of making fierce warrior faces.

Apparently you didn't take my advice to stop proselytizing to heart. So here's a more direct response:

Cool story bro. No one cares.

I mean at the end of the day it just plays to a certain style of dancing. Of course there are so, so, so many others, some more masculine, some more feminine. I think they went for the style that worked best for a Thavnairan dance troupe given its the origin in this game world.

Personally, I am very happy with dancer and how it feels. It is also my new main.

But of course, this is one of those things that comes down to taste, which is what it'd have been regardless of the type of dancing they went for.

Well, FFXI is still up and running. You’re welcome to go play it. I can sense the undertones here (going off of your past post history) that FFXIV’s DNC should be more like FFXI’s DNC, and I simply disagree. Not everything has to be like FFXI. Some things are fine on their own. It’s fine if FFXIV’s DNC isn’t your taste, but no need to change it—because, for some of us, it is exactly our taste.

I dont think the moves look feminine at all, but it may look that way when you wear the starting dancer costume.

It has nothing to do with the clothes, I've seen big d*cked lionboys and they look like girl with a pink tutu whenever they attack.
