Uniqe weapon stances foreatch race

greetings citizens. I was wonder a thing. will developers ever introduce uniqe weapon stances for every race? rite now all races hold the weapons exactly the same, they probably attack exactly the same as well.

look at this for example

i think it is important with uniqe stances like above picture. even ffxi and wow has it. why shouldnf ffxiv also have it?

You sure you're playing FFXIV?

Who said XIV won't have it?

who said FFXIV will ever have it? i have not herd of it

You should spend more time playing then, they all have different stances already

I am favor for this

They're different but not different enough, in FFXI the animations differed alot, and weren't just variations of the same thing. (Compare /sit for Hume, Elvaan vs Hyur, Elezen and Highlander).

Hell! I think jobs should have different stances instead of reusing the same battle stances that classes use, MNK's WS that was showed today was very Kung-Fu-ish, why not give him a matching martial arts stance and attacks to go with it?

The lance and bow is probably the only weapons that don't have you holding it twenty different ways. Because you can't unless you look stupid like that elf holding it in the OP. Who holds a lance sideways? wtf

i just made a highlander. holds a lance exactly the same as the rest. stop pretending and like this. we need to attract the attention of developers since people are too busy asking the same questions over and over on dev Q&As.

Not completely -- It exists but it's very subtle compared to FFXI's race stances and WS use stances. Just look at this Ranger WS:

in FFXIV, they're a lot more subtle in differences.

Just try Pugilist with Roegadyn and Elezen, you'll see the difference =)
Stances are different, but they have all a basic stance to respect, so...

Well the OP should have made his title different. Weapons stances and weapon animations are two different things. I like the weapon stances, but I DO think we could have subtle differences in weapon animations.

There are actually three different stances to holding a spear/lance (in the real world). And holding like the Elvaan is one of them. Its the defensive stance. Albeit the Elvaan should technically have it slightly tilted (either end slightly higher, does not matter, it is reversible). Other than that little detail he is wielding it correctly.

In fact the Mithra is the ONLY one who is wielding the lance/spear incorrectly as she has made herself too open for attack. (but I suppose it looks cool)

The More You Know.

Some races already do, just look at lalalancer vs every other race, also miqo'te pgl vs. lalafell/roegardyn/elvaan

Making them even more different, including the WS animations would be interesting but not likely.

the taru holding the gun/crossbow was cool. just a little baby gun but still dealt big dmg. thats why i lvl'd rng to 75 on 2 chars!

Most stances look very generic & similar in XIV, in XI every race had very unique stances, most noticeable being the Elvaan sam only one holding a katana correctly. I approve of this, definitely would like the races to have less generic looking stances that for the most part look very, very similar to each other. While I agree a few look different, there are too few that look unique from one another.
