Sidesaddle - Can anyone elaborate?

    Given your experience with horses I am sure you know that when wearing a dress you sit side saddle unless you want to give out free panty shots. I would bet 100 bucks that if that same female character was wearing armor with pants she would be mounted normally just as female characters are on chocobos while wearing pants.

    Give SE some credit for attention to detail.

    SE hasn't said anything to lead us to believe this will be the case, and it would be pretty random of them to waste time programming such a thing. This is a game where you can strip down and show everyone your 'panties' at any time, after all.

    IIRC in FFXI ( Square Enixs First MMO still running 11 years later ) the Elvann woman  sat side saddle also .  Along with the Elvann males who would ride with one hand/arm up in the air . Like in XI a Elvann archer would shoot there bow sideways like "gangster style"  So this is nothing new at all and copied from no one Jesus people do some research on XI before thinking EVERTHING is copied from some other game .  And if i am not mistaken is that a Elzen female on the horse .

    If you read my post/title, you would know that the whole POINT of this thread was to learn more about this feature from past Beta/FFXI players. I did read your post though, and that's what I wanted to know. I had a feeling the elf race would have highly stylized animations.

    I'm aware that sidesaddle was for "modesty" in the past. That aside, I'd never wear a dress while riding. It would be neat if they implement it the way you've described, though. I think options are really fair.

    It's just opinion is all, I'm not creating some grand petition to remove it from the game. Seems I'll be fine just riding a Chocobo, and as people have said, why ride anything else!

    W-what...  o_o

    You realize many women wear-- nevermind, I think(hope) that was a joke!

    They should just allow everyone to wear everything. I'll play a Roegadyn male in a bikini riding this magical unicorn. Who would want to mess with that?

    Wait what? Just because I mainly play females in mmos doesnt mean I want a sex change. Personally I think the females in mmos have better animations, armor models, and more. Unless you are joking then I apologize.

    I know the female Hyur ride chocobos normally. I don't know if the sidesaddle is exclusive to the unicorn or what. I personally hate the way it looks, I think it looks stupid and I don't want my character to ride that way. I will never use a unicorn mount if the females all ride them sidesaddle.

    Good to know, hopefully that applies to horses too.

     

    And yes, its because of long dresses / skirts. Then again, robes are kind of long too, anyone got a pic of a male mage in a robe on a mount? Maybe its not a technical thing (they dont care about clipping) but rather stylistic.
