Their run is just… gah. But you get used to that, I don’t even notice it anymore. It’s just her run. I look silly when I run too. I can relate

I find the rest of the animations extremely beautiful, there’s something regal and elegant about their movements. And very down to earth at the same time, nothing cutesy. Personally I love that, but personal preference is personal. I’m surprised they are so rare, I absolutely love my character.

I was actually surprised to see how low the numbers are for Highlanders too.
Part of the reason it's hard for me to pass up on my Highlander is because of the animations, I main MNK and I think the animations fit MNK a lot.
They look a bit heavier and more imposing, if I played a spellcaster I'd probably feel differently tho.

I think you'd have to make one of your main character's retainers into a copy of your alt and dress them up.

Sadly my retainers are low level, I've neglected them ( leveling them now tho ).
But I found this! https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model
Neat online model viewer, sadly low quality tho.

Yeah I fully get that, they suit casters very well, I agree. I’ve only dabbled in SAM when it comes to melee, so I’m clueless there haha. From observation I’d agree some other races suit melee better, better oomph factor there, so I get your dilemma. Stuff like that is personal, for some that kind of contrast is exactly what makes it fun while for others it doesn’t click.
