There are so many examples I could give, MMO and non MMO alike. And no, I think his team is very capable, I think people like you who accept any shit shown to you, make him realise he doesn't have to push the extra mile. You're essentially making XIV into a worse game.

You can have actions happen mid animation. Plenty of games do this.

well actually i was refering to yoshidas statement about that. are you ignoring anything important you read? it seems so.

Yoshi P. says "we removed it to increase the game responsiveness".

you say "you can have both".

so let us call Yoshi being a lier.. or the development team to incapable.

so now what? whats your point?

Plenty of games have done what he says is impossible.

Swivel animations have nothing to do with responsiveness.

Take your pick.

what i just can say.. i dont give a shit about that animation.. its a game.. a final fantasy game. i think "normal" people, who dont read through the forums any day wont give a damn about that, too.

what they just notice is when a game is not fun .. which starts with a terrible unresponsive gameplay.

They should call it Tonkra Tonkra XIV: A Tonkra Tonkra.

Because clearly, you know... It only matters how you feel about the game.

And yes, I'm sure all the people who are complaining about it are abnormal. Clearly nobody normal could care about aesthetics.

Thats so short minded. What are you doing then?

at least in contrast to you i am also talking about what other people (people who left the game right after the release because of this and that) could think about it. you dont.

and i say they wont give a fuck about that, ah.. and grass as well.

I've never stated that the sole reason they shouldn't add a feature, is because I care/don't care about it. I don't care about crafting, that doesn't mean that they shouldn't make a great crafting system.

And clearly I'm not the only one who cares about the animations being sloppy. Just look back in the thread.

i hear just:

When did I say it wasn't important? I just feel that it's not the most important thing.

I'm not trying to discredit your concern. I understand what you're saying 100% with the animations. The thing is, sometimes things just don't go your way. Yes, it's unfair, but that's how things work. You can't always get what you want.

My advice: suck it up and deal with it. Believe me, I'm devastated that this game will never have awesome dance emotes, but I don't let that bring down my experience. I enjoy the game, so I keep playing it.

If we just "dealt with it", we'd all be in random servers and coloring our equipment based on their stats.

So, no. I will not "Just deal with it." I will keep informing the team that it's an issue many of us care about and would really add a perfect touch to the game. That's the whole point of these forums. Just let the people complain. What is seriously the worst that will happen? You'll be annoyed? Deal with it. The best that will happen is a game with better animations.

An animation blend or two really shouldn't tax a game in this day and age. Even an MMO.

So let us call Yoshi being a lair.. or the development team to incapable.

Is that out of the question?

They don't have a ton of experience with MMO's or PC. Most modern games don't seem to have a problem with it. GW2's actual animations themselves may not look so fantastic, but it can still handle an animation blending system just fine. No latency or locking issues at all. Imagine Square's artists and animators being able to work with that.

...what?

Also, if you think the devs actually listen to the English General Discussion board, you're funny.
