Victory Poses

[Rantz]

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.
