That was definitely the only way to do it...not sure why people would have a hard time with that one when you can just go first person, look at the person, then find their twin. Maybe run back and forth to double check parts, but it was definitely one of the quicker ones to do.
First person? I didn't even bother with that, just moved camera around myself in a way to get a good look. Also had the advantage of not being piled in on all the others trying to inspect; I could be several steps away with camera zoomed out from myself, but perfectly close to NPC.
Much as I enjoyed it, I do also recognize, it they were to bring it back, it really should be able to rotate in more models/races, which.. does just mean more work for (re)designing it all.
Similar to Time of My Life, if their intention was having one of every race/gender represented to be familiar with and emulate, is now increasingly hard to fit all examples on/around stage.
They probably could have put the dancers in clusters of three or something. Pick groups that won't collide with each other while emoting.
Or just have people learn to recognise other races with similar animations. I recall the female Miqo'te being close enough to my Midlander emotes that I could follow her if the Midlander dancer wasn't present.
Alternately, bring it back with some specialised dance moves instead of generic emotes, then you can pick it from the icon/name. Maybe require people to memorise strings of dance moves that get longer as the game goes on.
Small correction: All races/genders were always present. There was, however, a small floating stage I believe above the middle that 4 dancers were relegated to. You really had to play with the camera to get a good view of them, tho.
Which is where my hunch that their intention was to include all representatives comes from, and adding bun/cattos made it cumbersome (not to mention now it's not an even split, until/unless female hroth happen).
