There is room for them to rework some animations, they even said they are looking to increase the memory allocation to animation which could allow for longer emotes for instance but likewise can extend into the main story etc. But this is just one aspect of it and could be applied to battle animations as well but time will tell I suppose.
We actually had this in 1.0 and the ARR airship animations are a step down from 1.0’s.The travel animations are probably forgotten, but if you take an airship to Limsa for example you and see your character board the ship and the actual airport being used and shown how it operates. This is not true of newer locations where it just turns black and plops you unceremoniously.
It would also be cool to see the occasional airship leaving the port from the city and flying overhead as well as ships coming in and out of Limsa instead of the stale looking background items the cities have. Merchants coming in to Uldah, etc... There is SOME of that for sure, but definitely not enough.
The ceruleum exhaust wheel thing in the middle of the airship used to spin along with the fluttering wings. Airships used to run on a schedule and you’d need to wait for one to show up to fly between cities. They intended us to be on the airship in the air as well like in FFXI and the boat ride in 1.0, but never got around to it. You used to also be able to see the airships coming into the dock from the city and even see it flying between the cities from the ground in different zones.
When ARR came, they turned the boat and the airship into teleport buttons so I wouldn’t really expect them to enhance or fix these at all in the future.
I just want my Rage of Halone animation to stay even when you get Royal Authority...
I think some general movement system animation. A lean on when you change directions running, or an about-face when you turn around. It should never interfere with actual movement; just an illusion of actually being present. 1.0 oddly had it and it was nice. Characters felt more part of the world rather than footage of someone on a treadmill.
Would be nice to see some different death animtions. We already have unique /playdead animations for each race and gender.
