Character Action Skins

[TheMightyMollusk]

I just want to turn off MCH's Heated animations. They're so goofy. Let me have the regular animations back.

[Clerith]

Cant wait to change the god awful DRK run animation. It's finally happening.

I wouldn't bet on it. To me, it sounded like we'd be able to choose different animations for some (evolved) skills.
I'm not sure if we'll get different options for standard animations as well.
And I fear the offers for action skins will also expand to hard and paid content – ​​which will certainly generate a lot of discussion.

Skies the limit on how much they will milk players for these action skins.
Why do you even remotely assume that it will be free?
Maybe they'll give some very basic reskins for free obtainable in a limited time just as a tease, but that's about it.

They've already said that skins will also be content rewards.

One thing many people noticed in the evolved job demo was the lack of AoE combos- instead it appeared the regular combo will also cleave. But the AoE attacks have unique animations, so I think one avenue for action skins will be to let us glam those animations on the standard attacks

I would be more excited if this game didn't have an online shop.

But please continue to boo at f2p game and clap when Yoshi P says this game will never be that, because they're soooo different.

Do you believe that?
Do you really believe that they will design a whole new system for it just to be content reward?
Content reward will be a little small "Demo version" while real stuff will be on mog station.

Part of it will be content, part of it will be Mog Station, like it is for other features nowadays. If anything, I expect the game to allow us to glamour previous animations when a skill is upgraded.

[Oizen]

If I had to guess, PLD WAR and DRK will be getting their enmity animations back. WAR and DRK might be getting their Rampart equivalents back.

At lease I really hope we get Scourge and Power slash back

Very likely. I'm not real fond of that change (sometimes I want to only single target something in a pack), but given that...I'd be very sad to lose Unleash, that's an awesome animation.

Seeing as this has come up a bit.

Will the Mogstation team make character action skins? Obviously! They make emotes, mounts, glamours and more after all.
So of course they will. If the system manages to be successful enough to not get scrapped that is.

As for me well.
I didn't type it because I was focused on White Mage, but my other hope is to be able to change or remove the Enshroud glams.
When the Reaper Enshroud cut off my at the time Viera's ears. I ditched the race and used the job far less.
Same with Scholar. They gave it that ugly out of place Seraphism glam with all the same downsides as Reaper's Enshroud.

Ultimately this system has the possibility of fixing at least those kinds of cosmetic issues. That is something I find worth hoping for. With tempered expectations of course.
