FFXIV Developper please consider replace bloodspiller animation with Cloud's Braver

[TouchandFeel]

-DRK /vpose and /bstance are not directly pulled from Cloud their source came from an actual swordsman. EDIT: To be more specific they came from a martial artist who won a tournament a year before. Frame for frame they are a direct copy.

Can you provide a video or some form of evidence of this with the appropriate dates to back up this claim?

Asides from there being a well known history to the Cloud victory pose, to back up mine here is an image of the animation concept art which includes the iconic Cloud victory pose.

-DP was not basically blade beam, wasn't even close. The animation isn't the same and the particle effect isn't.

The animations are virtually the same and I stated the vfx were different. Are they 100% exact replicas? No and I never stated such, even explicitly pointing out a major difference, however with two ability animations that have the player raise a large 2-handed sword above their head before slamming the ground with it and producing a burst of energy that moves out in a line to strike the enemy, the connection should be apparent.

It's even more similar to Blade Beam in animation than the FF7 Remake version of Blade Beam, Blade Burst.

-CnS is not similar to cross slash... Other than it's 3 consecutive slashes.

This is the only one that I feel is potentially up for debate yet has noticeable similarities, hence the "it could easily be considered to be inspired by" as opposed to saying that it definitively is.
It could it be considered inspired by due to the emphasis of being a three-fold attack, which was a major aspect of Cross Slash. I also see similarities between the animations, particularly the cadence of the slashes, however how similar they are I will leave up to the interpretation of the viewer.

You're really reaching with these for no reason.

Or you could simply be choosing to not see what is there for some reason or to simply be brusquely argumentative for no reason.
Whose to say? Both seem potentially valid and I guess it depends on who brings the better reasoning and evidence for people to decide which they feel is the case.
