Devs, I'm begging you.... fix the male Miqo'te idle stance.

[Seraiki]

Out of curiosity because I don't play the other races, are there any default idle poses this bad or is it just the male miqo? lol

Ofcourse it's all opinion related, but i'm hard pressed to find other races that has their original idle stance THIS bad compared to male miqo. It's awful all around and could really use a fresh coat of paint. If that is impossible for SE then i wouldn't mind an alternative of having the /cpose options in things like cutscenes.

New idle pose everyone got, the one with unnatural lean back and hand on the hip which does not even touch the hip and float instead

See I really like some of the alternative /cpose options (especially the ones cross gender/races they added in 5.4) and I would absolutely not mind having the option to toggle THOSE for cutscenes if creating another one entirely is impossible. Just... for heaven's sake what were they thinking LOL

What's wrong? Not a fan of the Amarant Pose from FF9?



I agree it's uncomfortable. Long coats seem to help.

If we fix the boy cat stance though can we fix the weird crooked tail while we're at it?

not a fan at allllll lmao. agreed with the tail, too. And give it more motion, like the femmiqos have!

It's odd because my main is a femiqo with a femaura alt and neither feel like this at all. In fact, I'd go so far as to say they both just feel almost generic in terms of their standard pose. While I agree that I wouldn't want either of them "stylized" like the male miqo (you're right, it is BAD), I would actually like them to be a little more expressive or unique. Even the femiqo cpose options are all very meh, especially considering that they do go very heavy on the feline influences in some of their other animations.

I've no problem with catboy idle pose, and I was happy with additional idle poses they recently gave us. New sitting poses would be nice for next.
The previously brought up idea of releasing all the poses for all the race and genders would be the most interesting option but I'm not holding my breath.

Once saw someone to compare catboy idle pose to Amaranth Coral's concept art pose. Cannot really say if Amaranth was the inspiration for that pose, but if could be possible?

This stance would be perfect if he had a big beer belly sticking out.

????????

I'm not too bothered by it on my Miqo'te characters. It's definitely a weird stance and it you try to replicate it, it seems rather painful... but it only looks bad at certain angles and it's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things that could be fixed.

Are you talking about idle stance or emotes? I haven't compared emotes but they definitely have plenty of motion while idle.

The hands are the way they are because I think they were kinda trying for a "ready to pounce" kinda look. Same thing with their feet being apart.

The hands seem to be inspired by cats' bone structure, where the lower parts of the 'fingers' do fold outwards towards the top of the hand/paw.

For the tail, that's specifically for emotes. The femmiqos have a lot more expression in their tails using emotes, males have different expressive bits like with the ears and the /aback emote. But again, not a huge issue, that one boils down to more attention being put into femmiqos than male ones. For idle stance in cutscenes specifically, it's one of those things that once you see it you can't unsee it, and it's just irksome. I know I know, in the grand scheme of things it's low on the totem pole of issues, but when you have a general consensus of neutral at best, dislike to downright hating it at worse among your playerbase, you'd think they'd at least make mention of it, you know? I'm no developer, but seeing as they've given us alternate idle poses at all, I can't help but wonder how difficult it'd be to give us a toggle option to change the default one used in cutscenes.

The artwork someone posted looks like a FF version of the default Akuma/Gouki pose after he does the raging demon. Hmm...
