And this is the maiden voyage of the good ship Brynhilde Wolf as it glides majestically through Dogberry Bay.

Delial

 

I wish we interacted more than me just bleeding on her hands.

 

Not a bad way to start off though tbh

Are you really surprised considering XIV's country of origin and aesthetic appeal?

I'm honestly more surprised by the number of TV show ones with funny filters or in black-and-white.

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.

For Kenthy, it turned into this last night:

 

 

 

 

 

While every one who's had a crush on her gets to be like this:

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.

Please do not derail the thread.

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 discussing 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.

Delial's not in a good place with all that junk right now. YUCK.

 

 

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

[align=center]It's practically perfect, because for Xheja, the best relationship is when there's no relationship![/align]

[Gaspard]

Given Constantine isn't the peachiest of guys..and that what he does puts people off alot (and through alot), it can be summed up by;

 

 

For standard; If someone catches his interest it goes;

 

 

Followed eventually by this;

 

 

And in some rare circumstances.. If they end up close to him and fitting;

Arcian, probably forever given her luck:

BLESS THIS THREAD. 

 

My two characters handle romance. . . differently. For Lafi it's a little bit of this:

 

Followed by some of this:

 

For J'nali it's more like. . . 

 

With a side of:

[Arelian Solin]

The vast majority of Sylas' relationships:

 

Sylas and Lafi meeting:

 

Dealing with the inevitable litter of kittens:

 

 

Nigel's a little more, uh. Well. I'll let the gifs speak for themselves.

 

Falling for someone (IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CORNY, ALRIGHT? GEEZ):

 

Aaaaand if he ever has someone:

UPDATED RAMONA GIFS! FEEL HER PAIN!

 

She's the guy in the gifs....

 

Look at her trying to grasp at love and fail and cry.

Basically how Sabine is whenever Ganale comes back from mining.

[C'kayah Polaali]

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:
