I do miss the race-specific combat stances. Every race's PGL/MNK stances were cool. Elezen women kept their left hands up, protecting the face, Roes kept both knuckles downward, like they were ready to just murder a fool.

I think miqo'te (female only at the time) had the most lively-looking stance, but then PGL/MNK is all I played other than fishing.

Yeah, something that always puzzled me is how some races do actually get different stances (Roegadyn Marauders/Lancers, Lalafell Arcanists...) while others don't. I'm kinda jealous of how Lalafell move one hand over the book.

I just want the male Miqo'te /sit on my female. I love the cat sit.

I want any other /sit on my male miqo'te. I've started to dislike it over time.

Yeah, I to wish there was more animation on our tails. I like how when I am running my tail swooshes back and forth, but in battle, it just loops down. In FFXI, the mithras had "battle tail" and "angry tail." When I do the angry emote, the tail does not look angry enough :(.

I also agree on the sitting pose for male miq. It looks more like I am using the litter box then sitting. I really do hope SE does something with the character animations.

If I miss any one thing from 1.0 it's the physics-assisted animations...they just look so great.

However what 1.0 had in the few specific animations it had, it lacked in actual battle animations, which 2.0 has alot more of. Maybe in the future they'll add some race-specific animations. Oddly enough, FFXIV is the only MMO where the lack of them hasn't driven me crazy.


What probably happened with Female Miqo'tes is, the tails in 1.0 were probably physics assisted, while in 2.0 they aren't. Male Miqo'te was designed with this change in mind, and so they compensated, while Females just got more or less ported over to minimize the workload in converting their existing equipment.

I love my miqo'te male but when he is idle... gah!

Exactly, there are a lot of clipping issues with males because the tail comes out at an angle from the spine, it never lines up with the gear sets. Also the way it sticks out and twitches, plus how their hands are, is why I made the comparison to a caffeine overdose xD

I'd really like to see the races have a little more individuality. Thinks like tails fluffing/standing up when in combat would be great for Miqo'te.

In reply to the "Miqo'te female lost detail." comments, a smaller butt does not count as lost detail. Leave Miqo'te butts alone.
