More walking and running animations

Since we have several standing, and sitting poses to choose from it would be great to have multiple walking and running animations to choose from too.

Lalas walk around without bending their knees. >.<

Not only that, also, I want more a natural movement, similar to the walking/running animation on 1.0, which looks more real. I like some of the 1.0 animations (not the battle animations of course, those were too slow). In general, animatons on 1.0 was very good, specially on cutscenes. I like that kind of stuff return.

When I played a female Hyur they ran as if they were being chased by an angry horde of bees.

Most natural run is definitely the female Au Ra's. I'm jealous.

PS3 limitations, literally.

Realistic runs? What is this? A reality game? It's a 'FANTASY' game! Everything should be as unrealistic as possible! \o/

I'd at least like the option to toggle between 2 or more. It would be nice if Lalafell could do something other than waddle, or Female hyur could stop running like they're stepping in something distasteful.

Sadly they removed the animations for a number of reasons but one of them was combat. Since now we need to dodge so many aoes and such in battle having the more "realistic" movement would make it "harder". It would be nice to have it as a non-combat thing if that would even be remotely possible.

I don't think so, we bend forward waaaay too much but anything is better than female midlander's princess run.

I say put the back in and let us choose which one to use. We can toggle it as we want. I would like to have the old animation back.

How about having a stance choice when creating or editing a character? Like I'm a kitty girl but would love the emotes from the female au ra. I mean if DCUO can do it, on ps3 mind you, then why not FFXIV?

Wasn't most things animation locked? That'd be a nightmare to have now.

And here I am actually liking my run animation. >.>;

But yes! I'm all for more diversity and options in all aspects of characterization.

Only talking about the old run/walk animation.

Trust me I want them back as well. I want a lot of things we will never see again :/ but yoshi won't do this because he doesn't like what if scenarios as we have learned many times already.

Would love to see more running animations.

i would like to see some kind of surface leveling in regards to the placement of your feet when on stairs or other uneven surfaces.

Because giving one race's animations to another race would be taking away what makes that race unique! Duh!

In all seriousness though: I'd love to not have the Vanille/princess run on my female midlander dark knight alt. It's a cringe worthy animation especially in heavy armor. Highlander, Miqo'te, and Au Ra running animations look so much better.

Exactly this! I want to be a Miqo (crazy cat lady FTW) but I love the Hyur Highlander emotes so much more than Miqo's so I can't bring myself to change. ):

I'm content with my run/walk animation ^^

Yeah, the leaning over is a bit much but the arms move correctly. That's one thing that a lot of races don't have as it can really look wonky.

The Elezen run can be so awkward, too. Oh god.

being able to toggle running animations will be nice. I'd like to fantasia as an elezen, but their running and sprinting animation just seem so awkward to the point that I simply don't like it, especially since I'll be running and sprinting most of the game.

Maybe once PS3 is dropped?

I don't really like the way female miqo'te slice their hands out far away from their bodies when they walk as though they're harvesting some crops along the way... not that I really needed an excuse for my diversity - and not that I can honestly see this one happening though. I might be interested in that super slow walk you sometimes see in cutscenes too; gives off real relaxing vibes.
