Safety Dance

[Iscah]

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.

I think it varies, though males are generally worse. It might come down to the motion capture actors and what they could think of doing when told to "do a dance" rather than something choreographed...

From memory, male Au Ra is also a bad dancer (but with a bit more effort) and male Miqo'te is decent.

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.

Female Roegadyn emotes have always seemed like an odd mixed bag to me. Mostly tough but then that very demure bow and the cutesy dance. Though I don't know if the average person would do much else if put on the spot.

I didn't know they used mo-cap for the animations, though I figured if put on the spot most people would do something similar to the Manderville.

I assume it's motion-captured anyway. Some things are and I remember seeing them listed somewhere in the credits, but I don't know how much work they do.

It would make more sense than someone actively deciding to animate those awkward dances, anyway.

male Miqo'te is decent.

I didn't even know it was possible for people to have such wildly different definitions of decent. :P

You haven't been on these forums long enough or have turned on the news lately.

Most of these were made 10 years ago.
I'm just thankful we have multiple dances.

Me too. The Moogle dance has been my new default for a while now.

I just wish they accept other dances as /dance.
But nooooooooooooooo
stupid rabbit said it's not good enough.

I tend to go with the Yol dance myself.

I love my lala /dance emote.
The male lala one is good too, but mine is cuter.

Every other race has awful dances.
