REQUEST: Can we have both /changepose Poses?

[Lone-wolfe-02]

If it means getting the male drg pose then sure that's the biggest one i want.

My wife asked me to add a request for a riding /cpose as some female models ride normally and some side-saddle.

This confuses my unendingly as, if the devs did their research, they'd know it's basically impossible to ride a galloping horse side-siddle while bare-back. You'd bounce right off as you need to hold on with your legs, even in a saddle. It's also terrible for your back, and nigh impossible to control your horse in that position since, again, you need your legs to help steer them.

Side saddle only existed to aid a women in her modesty, and their horses were usually lead by another or from someone on the ground, walking.

It just looks ridiculous being glued to a fast moving horse like that.

I'm for this.

Then again I want to see the Lalafell /dance on everyone, just for laughs, so...

If you see a woman glued to a unicorn and its how she is seated that damages your suspension of reality, and not the unicorn.... I'm afraid we are to far apart to see eye to eye.

*Sigh*
I don't know how people don't get that there's a tangible difference in the suspension of disbelief for something like "magic" working in a piece of fiction, and things just being jarring.


So we all know how Hauchefrant died right? A massive spear of lightning to the chest, blood spilled from his lips, and even though we have resurrection magic, he died and it's 'believable' right? It's believable that a hit like that can and should kill an Elezen.
Imagine if next patch. Thancred is in a sword fight, and just takes a sword right in the bottom of his jaw, and it runs all the way through his skull, through his brain, and out of the top of his head, in gory detail. He then proceeds to pull the sword out of his head, and act like nothing is wrong. And despite people seeing it, no-one ever brings it up ever again, and in-fact people go on to say he's just a normal Hyur.

There's an element of consistency in suspension of disbelief. I can believe that Dragoons can jump because you see it, a lot. It's an established thing, they are KNOWN for it. There's no known lore that lets a woman's butt glue itself to a horse, and considering physics seems to work about as one would expect it to, (gravity, velocity, friction, etc.) it's a bit disjointing that it just 'is', and thus to a lot of people it looks wrong.

Is it a nitpick? Yes, it is. But it's not an invalid observation.
Given the time for attention to detail, adding detailed and consistent riding animations would be really neat. Just deciding to remove unicorns because unicorns aren't real wouldn't be neat at all.

See the difference?

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

I am neither for nor against this. o/ There aren't really any weapon drawn poses I really like except for female NIN and MNK, but more options can't hurt. At the same time, I like it the way it is now.

[Dualgunner]

I was just thinking about this last night ^w^ It'd be awesome!

LOL. It's only becuase I've taken lessons and ridden horses before that it bothers me so badly. I would never attempt to go for even a short side-saddle since I like my spine.

When I was Elezen, I never used my Unicorn for this reason. It looked painful and silly! Let me /cpose to a more comfortable position! Please!

[Eul]

I don't mind this but by looking the new Highlander pose since Hildibrand's issues, it might took so many patch to work for just 1 new pose.

[DarthVella]

You wouldn't need an /acpose, just /cpose # where # is a number or word corresponding to your preferred pose. Then the same could work for sitting.
Come to think of it, you could also have /sit # and go directly into your preferred sitting animation.

While we're on the subject, I wouldn't mind a "personality" option that changes the default idle pose for standing and sitting. (I hate my Mi'quote squat.) Maybe expand the pool for other emotes, either add some or share them between races and let you access them via personality option and /emote #.
