Lalafell walking animation

Yeah there's just something uncanny about how their legs have to move to have a "normal" walking animation with how small they are.
It's my same issue with Roegadyn running animations but in reverse, they look like they're hardly even trying to jog because putting that leg stride onto a full running animation would make it feel very silly they don't actually go any faster.

I went from Lalafell to Roegadyn and it felt like I was moving in slow motion and very stiffly. I actually don't think I'll ever be comfy playing one again because of how jarring it was. Now I can't unsee it. Especially odd since the other huge lady option, Hrothgar, are very bubbly and active in their animations, but they bounce up when they run, similar to how they animated Male Au Ra, to compensate their height when running.

Meanwhile, jogging and sprinting Lalafell take giant, fast leaps, but still move very quickly, making the clockwork doll walk stand out more.

This is the most extreme example but going from fem Au Ra to Roe is also jarring, I had a male Roe alt for a short while and my god I felt it, which led to me doing a bit of testing, and from my personal opinion, Hyur, Miqo and fem Au Ra have reasonable movement speed, while everything else feels too sluggish or too fast. Among the ladies anyway, idc about the dudes much, even that Roe was a gag character.

I wish they could just adjust all the animations to work between races and let you choose how you walk, that way lalas dont have to walk so silly, female hyurs aren't forced to 'princess' run, hrothgars can move in a less hunched over manner, elezen can use a less stiff walk run cycle, etc etc.
