Possible Request? Running Animations?

Would this be something people would be behind? Like setting our idle pose, would people support having multiple running animations to choose from?

And also death poses? I know that's a silly request but I watched some old 1.0 footage and realized that races had unique death poses back then. Seems like a weird thing to remove.

If Hyur F could get a new, better, running animation, we might actually see more of them around!

Pretty much only thing that prevents me from playing Hyur female.

Wow fem hyur really get's alot of hate but rightfully so, it's a pretty bad run animation xD

Yes please. I've known people who switched from AuRa Males because of the run. I don't even like the cat walk because of the switching. Walk like a battle hardened warrior dammit!

-ahem-

Death animations would be cool. I always found it amusing in another game where if you died, your character would be on all fours then reach out before crumpling in a heap and the usual cause of death was ganking.

My wife too. She's wanted to switch to hyur female forever, but can't get past the stupid animation.

Technically that's not really death though, your character is really just falling to the ground unconscious, but still alive... (alright I know I'm being Miss Pedantic here :p).

I do admit I would like to see an alternative "run with weapons drawn" animation though, particularly for GLA/PLD, I'd like to have an animation with my shield being held directly in front of me rather than to the side (and thus leaving myself open to attack). And other classes and Jobs could also do with a similar tweak to animations to make them look more ready to fight rather than just dragging their weapons beside them.

I don't actually mind the hyur female run, however I wouldn't mind more options. I am sure this been asked before.

More options is always a good thing.

/change running animation please

female hyur running animation is cancer

I never noticed the hyur female running animation before, but now that I actually look it reminds me a lot of Yuna's running animation . SE needs to never use the floppy arm run again.

Eeeh? Am I the only one who really really likes the f Hyur running animation? It's cute and girly and looks natural (yes, clichéd, okay..but still human).
But the female Au Ra..urgh. They run like a robot. The only thing that lures me back to Miqo'te from time to time (or my Hyur alt) is the robotic shuffle my Au Ra lady does instead of natural movements.

I like female Hyur Midlander's running animation too!... What's wrong with it that everyone hates so much!?...

There's nothing like female Miqo'te when it comes to cute running animation!... :o

Female Au Ra run like grannies, hahahahahahaha!... :p

Female midlander running looks fine for me, but some option for all race will be nice too

Every time this comes up, people always drag us midlanders through the mud for our run. I like my run! >.>

More options are never a bad thing, though. I'm all for diversity.

Glad to see people are open to this.

I myself cannot stand the female Highlander run. It drives me bonkers but I like most of the other things about them. Would love to give them more of a natural looking Lara Croft jog rather than the stiff looking thing they've got going now.

I like F hyur running animation! I think it makes them pretty unique :X
F Auras on the other hand.... Miqote's running animation seems to be fairly standard. Elezens' are just weird >_<
No grouses with lala tho I'd 10/10 play lala again if we had a skipping animation XD

Elezens' running animation looks like they're trying to balance a book on their head.

Good. Stay off Hyur F. You don't deserve their charm anyways. :P

Really? All this hate for a run emote? Sorry your face you like is stuck to those ONLY set of horns that are obnoxiously in the way of everything xD

I really dont get the hate for female midlander run animation, it was one of the biggest reasons for me to fanta into a midlander. I love the run!

I started as a F hyur during beta, I couldn't stand the running animation and created a F highlander. Before glamours were introduced, it was kinda weird to see them running with the full tank Darklight armor, lmao. Even so, I really don't like it. I'd like to see an option to have different running animations as well.

you gonna girlie run girlie and you gonna like it!~~~~~~ :)_

Gumber, no. With love, Lucille.

I support this. Maybe something for 4.0 as there's probably the whole "System limitations" thing for it to be added sooner.

Personally I hate the way my character grits their teeth and looks pissed when sprinting.

Anyone else?

Yup.

Pretty much why I'm playing Miqo (although I do like her, simply because they're made very discrete... the only time I remember she's a cat girl is in cutscenes).

I think having the option would be really good.

I thought of making another mandatory periodic whine thread about this, but I might as well just necro this one.

I never minded the princess run.

Male Au Ra's running Animation bugs me, yet amuses me too. xP I support different running poses.

That's cool, and I think it's okay if you want to keep it for yourself. I for one hadn't even noticed it until I tried one myself. I think all we're advocating for is the option to choose for our characters.

If I could get a different sprint animation for fem'qote I'd switch out the base one in a heartbeat. I hate it.
