Victory Poses
Ever since the original we have all been blessed by little dances, cheers, fanfare and poses whenever we slay a beast and forge its remains for currency. I ask you now, which of these victory poses is your favorite? Which one do you loathe? Are there any that make you say, huh?
I'll give my opinion in a minute after I hear yours.
I always liked Sephiroth's victory dance thing in FFVII when he sweeps his blade, left and right before putting it away. I always liked the little jumping up and down from the 2D games. Never really enjoyed watching Eiko or Selphie doing their silly little dances though.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I've always like Squall's. He swipes the air then turns away in disgust as though the battle has been a waste of time. Classic arrogance
Lately I've been partial to Balthier's victory pose when he uses a one handed sword and shield. He rests his foot on his sword he stabbed upright into the ground and then pulls a handkerchief out and wipes his boots of monster guts. Instant classic :ezpimp:
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog Where no one notices the contrast of white on white And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Me, I prefer Vivi's and Lulu's. Vivi's stance shows determination, bravery. Lulu's.... well when she leans down I get a peek.
Everyone Spining around a few times and then throwing their arms in the air in syncronisation.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Vaan jumping on the handles of his Great Sword like a monkey. xD
I like Zidane's when he has a Dual Bladed Sword.
isnt zidanes with the double blade just a rip off of clouds?
anyways tifa and zidane's with the daggers are cool
You know, I was struggling to remember what the FFXII victory poses were like because you don't see them very often, but if I'd remembered that pose, I would have posted it myself. It was most excellent.Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno

Balthier when he wipes his shoe with a handkachief
Penelo when she does some acrobatics
Fran when she puts the arrow in her mouth.
Yuffie spin around almost fall over.
Tifa stretchy stretch
Lulu of course hehe
...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...Remember that well.
Both of those are utterly cute, especially Fran for some reason.
Cloud's pose is simple but showy, I like it.
In FFIX, it's neat how Amarant goes from having no victory pose, to acquiring one after he starts questioning the meaning of his life. And it's not exactly a victory dance as such - he turns his back on the battlefield, and sits down in a meditative pose. It hints at quite a lot of depth and introspection that aren't really touched on during the game.
This is pretty much exactly what I was planning to say.If I remember correctly, the victory pose changes after he's saved by Zidane in Ipsen's castle. He starts thinking more about his ways at that point as far as I can tell, and I think it's brilliant that it's reflected in a pose that usually have little connection to the story.

Completely forgot about this, but most definitely excellent.

Oh, and I forgot Rikku's little hand gestures when they win! I love the whole "What now, biznatch!?" look. xD
