Safety Dance

[Joven]

So I was running the MSQ with my male roe alt when I got to the mission where I had to dance for the sylphs of Little Solace and I gotta say, the default dance is just, bad. Like really bad. It's just bouncing from one foot to the other. It's not just male roes either. My main is a male hyur midlander and all I get is feet shuffling. How can you even call that a dance?

We get so many other expressive and flamboyant dances through various means throughout the game, so why is our default dance so terrible?

I doubt there will ever be a change, but one can hope.

Male Elezen /dance is also awful. They're not even trying.

I have a male elezen too, but haven't tried the dance yet. Is it only the males that get shafted with the dances? I think it's female au ra that have a fairly expressive dance, though it's been a while so I'm not sure.

Yeah I think male Elezen is probably the worst. They do like a weird awkward foot shuffle like someone they don't like told them they had to dance to get to the punch bowl and was like "there, I danced, good enough?"

No... no it isn't.

I do like fem Au Ra, fem Miqo is cute but yeah it's also literally just spinning one way then the other, and while I do like Viera, it is also just spinning with arm movements similar to some dancer abilities.

Some are decent, a lot are meh or bad, and they don't loop. I stick to my unlocked and mog station dances now. :P

I know it's a big necro, but dammit, I love how unenthusiastic this dancing is.

I don't mind necros when the thread is discussing an issue (or plot point or whatever) that is still in the same state today as it was when the conversation was held.

It's different when the situation has changed since the discussion was held and the earlier remarks don't make sense any more.

Can't speak for all females, but femroes got shafted pretty hard, too. I know it's subjective, but imho the stupid little prance they do seems way off for the race. Ironically, it's my go-to emote if I want a "I'm a prissy little princess" screenshot, though I always have to change the facial expression because.... /shiver

Exhibit A (not the emote's default expression)

Maybe they were worried that femroe's weren't "girly" enough for their waifu simulator.

Yeah Female miqo'te get a pretty trash dance as well with a limp wrist and four whole twirlies.
Like it's such an unemotive emote that a screenshot of it wouldn't even suggest that you were moving, let alone dancing.

(such a spirited dance!)
(my character totally doesn'tlook bored)

At least there's actual body movement and not just shuffling feet.
