Lala walking/running new videos shown

I rarely post here so here we go. . . .

I just saw the videos of that they released for the media tour and the gamepad explanation. It showed how the new lalas walk and run. It felt so. . . . as a good friend says "like robots". The big steps feels forced and the running felt so weird.

The old walking/running felt like ninja style which looked weird but feels normal. But the new look just like they're trying the old way Taru-taru walked (that's what i got out of it).

I know this late in development is there anyways they can adjust that?

By the way the reason I'm asking because I was really planning on changing to a lala once 2.0 arrives because I was originally a taru in 11.

I didn't mind the taru animations too much, but the way that they move their arms looked a bit awkward.

Anyway, if you're in beta, you can always make that a suggestion on those forums. :)

It's weird when alpha started I was quickly able to go through the forums but this time it feels like there's no separate forums or I guess it's not up yet.

I'm not complaining by the way. I believe the videos shown blew my mind. I cant wait for release. It's just at 1.0 I've always hated the fact that I didn't pick Lala so I always stalked their movements and the new videos just felt so unnatural.

I'm pretty sure the beta forums are up.

I don't like the big arm swing and goosestepping either. It seems any moment they're going to yell "HEIL"

Why can they just walk normally?

In theory, because their 'normal' walk would be really friggen bizarre if they managed to keep pace with the Leglords that are the Elvaan

You mean like how they kept up with them using the stiff, tiptoeing in 1.0? :P

Seriously they just have to take faster steps. Like how their chocobos do.

I liked them tiptoeing more. It felt like they were natural assassins.
