What animations would you change if you could?

[Ameela]

All the idle poses for female lalas are pretty bad so I wouldn't mind changing them to pretty much anything else

[noxen]

Gonna throw the assumption that most of the default animations were just altered enough to differentiate from the 1.0 counterparts due to the limited time there was during the 2.0 rebuild/reboot.

That being said, it's not an excuse for janky animations and I wouldn't mind the following changed;
-The aformentioned cutscene 'start, stop, spin, stop, start' thing. C'mon, when WoW or GW cutscenes have more fluid animaton, you know something is amiss.
-Lalafell walking animations. They look to have made a mess and are waddling to the nearest rest-room.
-Fem'ra running (not sprinting) animations. Looks stiff and robotic. I guess the same can be said for the males though I don't play one, so I can't see it from the back.
-Maleqo'te sitting. Really don't need the squat thing. And their idle 'claw hands' thing. We get it, they're cat people...

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'll edit as/when if more come to me.

I was disappointed by the animation when moving back on SDS Fenrir >_< Motorcycles do not have reverse gear...

There are many of the 1.0 animations that I don't like so much, but I like a lot of the animations that came with HW and SB. Like the Paladin combo skills - the 1.0 ones don't look like I imagine a PLD moving, it's too much of Gladiator. I would like it if a lot of jobs would get upgraded animations that match their job more instead of their class.

I would also like it if every race could get another normal idle pose to choose as default. For example the male Au Ra default standing pose. Why can't they stand with their feet a little more apart from each other?

There are also poses like calling for your mount or interacting with quest items where everyone stands like a Midlander Hyur for those seconds. I hate that so much. I don't want my female character to stand like a gil spammer.

I want to be able to sit side-saddle on horses and chocobos with my female Au Ra. So an option to turn on/off sidle-saddle for other races would be great.

I also don't like the MNK and BLM poses with their weapon drawn. But I rarely play those classes anyway. Still, I would love multiple options for battle stances.

I would also play (for example) Warrior more with my female character if the poses were more feminine. It doesn't look nice when my female Au Ra moves like a brutish berserker. And I can't play healers with male characters because the poses are too feminine for my taste. It may be nice and perfect if you made a male character that is supposed to move like that, but if you made a character that is supposed to be like a stereotypically male it seems wrong to play healers, esp. WHM and AST. No offense meant. But we just create different types of characters.

Lack of an EVIL GLASSES Emote. (Ie where you set your first two fingers on the bridge of the glasses and push them into place) We already have a good guy version.

Hey! Nothing evil about that! It's just a necessary NEUTRAL action!

PLD: Divine Veil is...you toss your sword up in the air and catch it? That's what imparts a holy shield that reduces damage on your comrades?

[Bright-Flower]

This isn't an emote exactly, but one thing I would love is if when a paladin uses sword oath, the shield disappeared and they held their sword with two hands.

[Jonnycbad]

Not animation related but whenever you're in town and surrounded by a group of people in close proximity, there's ambient chatter sounds. One of them sounds like a Lala male going "woAAHo" and it happens, idk, every 20 seconds? It's realllllly obnoxious.

More ear/tail animations for Miqo'te.

I want my tail to wiggle when I'm in battle stance.

It does for DRK and WAR.

As for what I'd change
Drk: Female /cpose, good lord, do you want to damage the tip of your sword? At least give the option for us to use the male version.
SMN / SCH : The weapon drawn sprint looks like they were running to the restroom and didn't make it.
Pld: vpose and bstance just feel very lackluster compared to WAR and DRK.
WAR : Female /cpose, like with DRK give us the option to use the male version.
