To be honest, it's something I hope they consider changing; for people who like the current pose, make it into an alternate pose.

The reason I suggest that is because, no matter what animation plays, they always revert to that default pose, even for just a second. Plus, your character always uses the default pose in cutscenes, and just makes them look very stiff and rigid, like Elezen.

Also... again, super nit-picky stuff, but I actually wish the Au Ra had canines/fangs. It seems weird for them to have these perfectly strange, even teeth; with more prominent canines, I think they'd be a little more imposing.
