/dance

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.

Maybe you can use your own imagination and creativity to inject some of your own unique personality into him and make him your own, instead of relying on SE to do it for you via /emotes.

You know, be pro-active about it.

You don't need emotes to role-play, nor to give your character personality.

Or is FFXIV - for you - where player imagination and creativity go to die as well?

[KiriA500]

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.

I LOVE hyperbole!

You don't need emotes to role-play. If I wanted to role-play in a chat room, I'd log into AOL. This, however, is more than just a chat room.

I use my own imagination all the time when I play this. I have to imagine my character having a good time, because I cannot portray that by using the emotes (the things set up to do just that). Crazy how these things work.

I'll just have to make a new character when A Realm Reborn launches who is just a Tax Accountant. That way, he'll fit right in to the boring world that outlawed fun at the login screen.
