Varied Death/KO'd animations?

There's quite a bit of ways for people to get floor'd from what we've seen in cutscenes, as well as NPC foddler in The Sunken Temple of Corn (Heroic). Maybe add a bit of variety or a roulette of sorts to which KO'd animation you do when it comes to it? It just seems really...off when all players (and some bosses) fall onto their knees then onto their back.

On the side note, anyone else like how they put *so* much detail in the weapon animations when they drop to the floor? Specifically the monks...I can't help but laugh when they drop a pair of Sphairais onto the floor and it bounces around for a good 4 seconds.

That made me think of a cool nostalgic idea, you know how in the offline turn based FF when the character was low on HP, they were dropping to their knees panting and breathing heavily... Maybe we can have special "stand-up" animation when we're low on HP... Would be nostalgic haha

edit: here are some examples :D

Also reminds me; I'd like a *tiredshame* persistent emote, similar to the ones you'd see from NPCs in most quest objectives (or one I can immediately think off the top of my head, that roegadyn suffering from sea sickness at Vesper Bay.

A little off subject but I would like for them to change how you take out your weapon and put it back up. It looks odd and your weapon passes through your arm and shoulder in both animations.. Wish they would be a little more creative with that.. Also would like for them to have change poses for unsheathed weapon for different races and genders like they do with standing poses..

It has more to do with the weapon size that causes clipping...which is reoccurring to most of the new armor models we've gotten as well. They already mentioned that they want to pump out designs without having to worry about clipping in mind...so bleh.

Although it still looks weird for DoH/DoL classes that have their tools over their back, but because they use the exact same animations as gladiator/paladin, they unsheathe as if it was from their hips.
