Please Change NIN's HIDE Animation

Plainly walking doesn't feel right at all.

I have to question if this was intended?

Also, I know it would be a small PVP buff, but a little faster movement speed while hidden would be amazing.

It feels like I'm crawling on all fours at the moment.

OH! Last problem... getting out-of-combat to rehide in PVP takes FOREVER. It feels like I walk miles & miles away & still can't rehide.

Who knew! Just tried it out on Miqo'te... still a way's off, it's sort of awkward; I barely hunch my back.

Better though.....

Should be defaulted nevertheless.

SE? Can you please default the stealth animation to where we have our weapons drawn instead of the plain slow-walking one?

You get a creeping animation if you draw your weapon.

also it would be great if hidden triggered earlier in the animation, because boy is it slow

Yea with weapons sheathed it feels very halfassed to just be walking instead of in a more steathly stance.

I can imagine our characters tippy toeing when hidden. lol It would look the cutest on Lalafell.

If I want do unhide myself. I just use those event Items like Flowerpetals or Fireworks xD
But it helps!
I can unhide myself whenever I want that way ;D

You clearly get the best animations and the most effort put into them and you're complaining? If anything the other classes should be complaining how non-flashy everything we do is compared to Rogue and Ninja.

If anything they should change the time it takes for Hide to actually apply and make it instant, currently it takes about 2 seconds.

^that'd be nice as well, I'd prefer faster MS over that though.

Given the description is to "Blend in with your surroundings", It'd be rather easy to spot a guy hunched over and walking like a doofus in a crowd, no?
The whole theme behind Hide is not to magically vanish from sight, but to appear as inconspicuous as possible.

Mechanically, yeah we're invisible, consider the theme though.
Also, it hs amused me greatly on many occasions to Hide and then casually stroll past packs of mobs in Dungeons to ninja the chest and the stroll on out.
