Suggestion: Animation changes to jumping when a player equips a DRG job stone

[SenorPatty]

i know most of these are for fun, but wouldn't a Bard's idle animation be, I dunno, playing their harp or flute?

Yeah but there's already like 3-4? flute animations? I was striking up the theatrical aesthetics of bard.


Maybe the more appropriate animation could be pulling out a blank orchestrion roll and start writing musical notes?

-BLM uses his stick to "draw" magic circles on the ground (as a shoutout to FMA)

Arcanist is clearly the FmA shout-out. Geometry-based spells and all that. (Plus our level-up achievement title is "Through the Gate"!)

This makes me wish even more alchemist was a DoM job instead od DoH, with a transmutate trait that allows you to turn consumable goods into spells.

Further suggestion: DRG should get a little bit more jump height than the other classes for aesthetics's sake.
NIN can run faster so why can't I bounce a bit higher?

This would break the game as there are probably certain things that are otherwise unreachable with a regular jump. They could make a little dust cloud under the dragoon when they hop though and change our posture where we tuck a leg in. Considering how in DRG lore (if you read the quests and do various HW leves), DRG treaining involves jumping thousands of times with heavy armor, you'd think our regular jump would look different.

True but those animations are only in the performance feature. Also, the Bard you are thinking of isn't this kind of Bard; it's the kind, like Thancred was a "bard" back in 1.x and 2.x.

Maybe the more appropriate animation could be pulling out a blank orchestrion roll and start writing musical notes?

This idea sounds good.

-Bard pulls out a skull and inaudibly speaks to it a la Shakespeare (Alas poor Yorick)

I didn't know I wanted this until now.

I got more from my thinking hat:

-SAM takes out a whetstone and starts sharpening the katana

-SMN bumps fist with Titan-egi, high-fives Ifrit-egi, and cover ears when Garuda-egi "screams"

-BLM uses his stick to "draw" magic circles on the ground (as a shoutout to FMA)

-Bard pulls out a skull and inaudibly speaks to it a la Shakespeare (Alas poor Yorick)

-MCH "shoots" people with fingers (if you're in a party and all members are present, MCH will "shoot" all party members), then blows the "smoke" away



Sorry, nothing comes up for PLD or DRK.

Awesome ideas
I think paladin should do something with the shield.
