Female Sundrop Dance

[Toguro]

Another one of these threads sigh*.. It'll be filled with the same people who filled up the last thread for I dont even know how many pages. This thread just needs to be dropped. Might aswell revive the other one.

The female dance looks great on Roe women. Of course it doesn't look imposing on a toothpick with a dragon tail.

Why is there a difference? The dance looks extremely awkward without the legs bent, and it's terribly underwhelming when compared to what the Vanu Vanu look like when they do it. I know it's purely an aesthetic choice, but I feel this kinda ruins the dance for female PCs.

The dance looks like crap on the females, tradition or not, which is why I didn't even bother or consider doing the vanu quests. If they change it, I'd go for it, otherwise no. They probably wont change it so I'll ignore this one cosmetic that didn't look that great to begin with.

Agreed. Looks like crap. I stopped doing the beast quests when I saw what this looked like for females. No intention to complete it. Just my choice - I understand there are those that like it - but even the linked Youtube dance of traditional Haku was far more interesting than what was done for us here, and that linked video was trying to argue that what we got here was ok. *shrugs* I think it was just a lazy animation effort, personally. It's just a dance, but still.

Do the quests at least for the exp (and the mount).
around 100k exp each quest on a lv 59 job once maxed the rank to the vanus.

Also, the dance is free, don't cost you anything to learn it and don't have to use it outside of the quests.

I'll pass on them. If I want to level I'd just run dungeons again, and it'd just be adding more grinds along with more grinds. I really don't like the mount either, its too big for my interests with its tall stance, not to mention it looks awkward to use in PvP. I'd rather ride a miniature Bismarck really. :/

... Wow, that's pretty awful.
Like seriously, the actual haka and the way the female vanu do it looks great, but the way it was translated into the player character's movement is just garbage. They took out all the force and range of motion. They don't have to be the same, they just did a bad job on one. Lazy.

And before you say it, I don't have to shut up about it, and you'll have an easier time moving a mountain than getting me to do so! Your air ain't worth more than mine, sit down with that self-important nonsense.

This is a point I can agree with. Sundrop is far from perfect, but I can at understand what they were going for. I think it's silly to ask for the male version of the dance, but female's could have been done much better

I would like to third this. I don't really mind that they're different. But when I look at the videos of the female Haka, it might be not quite as openly aggressive, but there's an intensity to it that the female Sundrop lacks.

Threads like these have happened so many times you can categorize the posters.

The "Change it now you sexist popotoes!" crowd.
The "You're not allowed to express your dislike for this, because it happens real life" crowd.
The hypocrite crowd "A bunch of idiot used this idiotic argument against male glamours, I do hate it when they do that so I'll use it against you".
The "Not this again" crowd (almost everyone).

I'd say just drop it, but unless Yoshida personally comes to your home and tells you no, you likely won't take no for an answer.
