AST/MCH/NIN - a few animation/model requests

[Kolsykol]

I am very happy about the AST animations.
Machinists however...................... Really? It doesn't feel like a new job honestly. It just looks boring as hell :/.
I love the animations when you use reload and abilities like that, the cds look great and I love the look of your character quickly modifying his/her weapon.
But the actual shooting animations are way too boring honestly.

I felt that way when I saw the preview video, but once I played it with the sound effects, my opinion changed. And Clean Shot is just stylish, IMO.

Please, any of these for 3.1? MCH needs love badly.

I'm personally ok with most machinist shot animations. You're pulling a trigger and a gun is shooting something, there's only so much you can do to spice it up.

Going over the top with every skill like it's Dragonball or something would just be weird. You can see this in how odd it looks in the case of Head Graze, which is a utility ability but for some reason has a gigantic flashy animation that looks more like a gauss round than Gauss Round.

Yes yes yes yes a million times yes!

I know MCH isn't meant to be super flashy but it still needs a little extra.

It's too bland in visuals atm.

Visual effect while Huton's up would be nice

The audio's worse than the visuals IMO. Several abilities sound more like a pop gun than a firearm infused with lightning magic.

yea the animation for weapon cast time with the gauss barrel is really weird and also their running animation with the weapon drawn. i'd definitely like these to be changed.

My biggest issue with MCH animation is really when their "charging" an attack in GB. It really looks like how certain races in 1.0 and some beast tribes (namely Amaljaa THMs) will charge spells.

With BRD they at least look like they're actually charging for bigger hits, MCH holds their weapon like a mage while in GB

[Chibilidawg]

Gauss Barrel's cast-time animation is quite cast... I want the MCH to at least kneel & aim down the sights over a forearm or something...
