Petition: Keep the Animation!~

[Rokien]

The stop motion may have been unique, but don't forget that what people complained about at launch was like how non-Final Fantasy-like FFXIV was. Sure it was the prettiest most animated MMO at the time, but there were no airships no chocobos, no real moogles (except in the FF quests) that would make you even aware you were playing a FFXIV game.

In FFXIV: ARR there will be no question that this is a Final Fantasy MMO. Not only is the aesthetics gorgeous and detailed, using a top of the line game graphics engine, there are all the components and parts that are being borrowed from the decades long Final Fantasy lore.

Saying that taking out the stop motion and other minor animations will make it just like every other MMO, that FFXIV will no longer be unique is also not taking into account the big picture.

And that's what's going on here. The removal of this single tree has made people blind to the bigger trees that are coming and staying.

Edit: Nemy, you need to click on the links provided by Gramul, the review of the animations are glowing. Really, it llooks like a Korean MMO if you agree that Korean MMOs look awesome.

FIRST OF ALL

What does chocobos, and everything else you just said has to do with animation, PEOPLE LIKED THE ANIMATION. NOBODY, I DON'T KNOW ANYONE, who wanted the animations taken out. The only reason why animation lock is bad is because the server lag, yet, people are beating every content with animation lock. So, that is not a big deal, just take out the lag, which 2.0 will fix!

I'm sorry I don't want my game to FEEL(notice I didn't say look, the graphics are amazing) cheap, I'm paying for it.
