Can we take a moment to appreciate Shinya Ichida's AMAZING work?

I really miss the sliding to stop after running.

I do too, those animations felt so grounded XD. I miss the more natural palette 1.0.. but ARR still looks better than other games, MMOs at least (imo) XD

SE art team is too OP. lol

I really wish they didn't fix that. Butt karting (or random dance emote karting) was some of the most fun to be had.

Yeah.. they fix something completely hilarious and entertaining so quickly, but FATE/hunt marks kept disappearing even after they announced in patch notes that they fixed it.
The sliding made people laugh, disappearing monsters make people rage. Why would they fix the fun stuff first?

I imagine that some stuff is simply easier to fix.

Not really what this thread is for...

The FATEs were fixed months ago...and the Hunts were fixed last hotfix...

Those animations would make battles in ARR next to impossible...can you picture Titan? The weighted physics would either keep you from escaping an Landslide or Plume or they slide to a stop would carry you off the platform running to the bomb safe spots.

I miss the weighted animations and loath the "Get out of the fire" gameplay.

This thread just makes me miss the old 1.0 animations so much more.

Gawd, I was so angry when they dropped the momentum-based running animations with the tepid justification that doing so would benefit the gameplay. Nevermind that they could simply have designed the game with the momentum in mind, for whatever reason they simply decided to ruin that immersive feature for... well, for playing Team Jump Rope with minimal interruptions. Gee, thanks, Yoshida!

For the record, it would have been trivial for them to simply increase the amount of time you had to move away before getting hit. And besides that, having to decide whether or not to follow through on an attack is another aspect of decision-making in gameplay - do I take the risk of being grounded for the next second and a half, or do I want to see if the boss pulls out another AoE?

Honestly, I think it's weird that they decided to take all of that out for such concerns. I really don't understand the mindset.

1.23's Holy makes the current holy look like poop.
