Are you really surprised considering XIV's country of origin and aesthetic appeal?
There are actually very few moments in XIV that have an aesthetic that strikes me as being very anime-like, most of the game plays out more like a political drama (which tends to be more western) with brief moments of generic action that could easily be from a western or eastern inspiration. The only scene that comes to mind as being very anime-like was when you defeat Lahabrea and all your friends appear behind you at the last moment to give you their strength. I don't think you can get more anime than that scene without actually being an anime.

What you're talking about isn't "anime-like" it's camp. Camp can be found in anything and is not a trait inherent to anime.

There are plenty of serious, politically charged anime out there that have zero camp in them whatsoever, they're just on the edge in the current zeitgeist of anime production.

And you're wrong about XIV not being anime in aesthetic, it's extremely anime in aesthetic. The style is a unique one thanks to the greatness that is Akihiko Yoshida, but it's still very anime.

I've never heard the term "camp" before so I guess I'll have to take your word on it and assume it means something, not actually sure what you're referring to as being "camp" though. AS far as the aesthetics of the game, we'll just have to agree to disagree because I definitely don't get an anime vibe from most of the game with a few exceptions.

Okay guys.

Your discussion of camp and the presence of anime in FFXIV is completely off-subject in a thread about describing character relationships with silly gifs. I'm not saying it's not a topic worth discussing, but it is not a topic worth discussingÂ here. Please take it to another thread, if you must.

I understand I'm no moderator, but I'm fairly certain my argument is legit.

Let's stay focused, people. Back on track.

Jajara has no idea what she's doing or how she hasn't goofed it up yet.

Jaliqai · **03-01-2015, 07:37 PM**

So, Xheja's acquired a shiny new hyur plaything.

It's practically perfect, because for Xheja, the best relationship is when there's no relationship!

(Also, come on, this gif was bound to show up here at some point, amirite?)

Edit: Bonus! Found a gif to perfectly explain N'hadiya's entire love life.

C'kayah and Kenthi juuuuuuust got married (though in their case, it's more that they hijacked the ceremony for their own purposes). This pretty much sums them up:
