Opinion on Female Hyur Run Animation?

[Fendred]

that run animation isthe only reason I'm considering becoming a midlander. :<

Everyone has their own sense of aesthetics, and sometimes seeing something from a different perspective is all it takes to make it good. After walking away from the game for a bit and coming back, the midland hyur animation looks fine. It really comes down to expectations. It simply didn't meet my preconceived notion of what it would look like with higher level armor. I kind of blame the starting outfits and the lack of a comprehensive dressing room, since those are kind of important in finding a match that fits.

Pretty sure they jumped over the XI. I think Mithra were just fine as they were definitely more athletic/animalistic in XI that what we have now. As much as I hate to say it, Miqo'te are just cutesy little females with ears and a tail slapped on (still love em, but not the same..).

I absolutely agree. They lost a lot of their previous character when they were brought over, and arguably their design made more sense for a society dominated by the female gender back in FFXI than what we have here. For the sex doing most, if not all of the heavy lifting (metaphorically speaking), they sure do lack the muscle. They look fine for those looking for a cutsy cat option.

While I know a few who run that way, I still don't like how they run.

There's a reason why Hyur females are one of the LEAST played characters in the game. They're ugly and the run animation is... um... like what a 13-year-old boy thinks a weak little girl runs like. NOT the run of the Warrior of Light. Dear YoshiP -- PLEASE update it and I'll roll this character.

am not reading through 4 pages i just wanna say that my main has been a midlander since 1.0 and she is still my main i love her lil girly run i think its very cute and its also my favorite run animation in the game (with miqot'es being the 2nd best however theres already too many catgirls in this game so i wont ever be making a catgirl alt) midlanders have the 2nd best sprint animation with viera being my favorite

It's a big no no for me, was about to fantasia to a female hyur back in ARR thus i created an alt to see how they move ... let's say this result in me playing a Hyurgoth until heavensward cames out

Offputting. That's coming from someone playing female elezen.

Trust me. 100lb princesses don't run like rampaged warriors. They run exactly like this:



Working as intended.

I think if you want a cool-looking hero, it will be the death of you. It's like lalafell where, I am sorry, being cool is an uphill battle. If you want to be cool, and look like a competent and athletic adventurer, highlander is there for you.

But it is cute, has a lot of charm and character, and it's fun. I don't see my character as this super epic heroic figure, and I think it suits her. That said, I think the idea is good, but the execution lacks refinement. The profile on the swing is almost entirely horizontal and not very flattering. Needs a nicer arc... Hope the animation is refined with 7.0.

2014-2022 they still run the same. Lol at this necro thread.
