Believe me, I want nothing more than to have awesome dances in this game, such as:


...but the No Fun Ever Squad, hailing from Frown Town, USA, would rather have this game filled with boring ones. *sigh*

*thinks of the Roegadyn dance*

Yeah but GW2 already uses a dance from that video so if we add that one it means FFXIV is just a GW2 clone in every way, obviously.

In all seriousness though, while that's energetic and fun I can't help but feel it's a little out of place.

Yeah, you're right. I forgot that Eorzea is where fun goes to die. Not a single person is allowed to enjoy their stay here. Let's take out /laugh and /happy while we're at it, because only frowns and sadness can exist!

What he meant, of course, is that it just doesn't fit the style. XIV is set in a medieval/renaissance world, and I'd really love to see some artistic integrity.
Which means, we don't ask for historically accurate dances, just not something that feels like ripped off from modern day street dancing.

So, all that Garlean technology means nothing to the theme of the game? If Square-Enix could come up with their own emotes that have even the slightest hint of emotion, I'd be fine...I don't think the game needs to parrot pop-culture dances, but we've seen how they create emotes.

Just a reminder...somebody was paid, by Square-Enix, to mo-cap THIS! Maybe I'm a bit biased, as almost all of the Roegadyn emotes are absolute garbage, but I would personally like to see even a hint of excitement in my character from time to time. I mean, this is a role-playing game. Maybe the character I play as has some personality to him.

Right, because we all know the only reason people log into FFXIV is to /dance the whole time, because there's nothing else at all, in the entire game, that's fun to do. (note: that was sarcasm, in case you missed it).

On a serious note, you really do love hyperbole, don't you.

So I implore the devs, please give us more interesting dances in A Realm Reborn. They must have life and passion, and preferably loop. Only through this will we avoid another catastrophe of this magnitude.

Yes, please for the love of the Twelve! Please give us better, more fun, interesting dances. And please make them loop. I freaking LOVE things that loop.

hahaha! i don't care for dances i just want some adjustments to the over exaggerated emotes that make my supposed beastly Paladin look like a little girl waving to the ice cream truck.

While I agree that the animations could be cleaned up, I DONT want some WoW dances or anything.. I'd like them to remain friendly to the mood of the game.

Edit: A few Elezen animations come to mind that could use a dash of enthusiasm.

WOW is the one who uses meme dances, Panda female already have the Caramelldansen
Give is rather more national dances
What about this dance for the Highlander Hyurs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wq6I...eature=related
