2.0 Movement inertia: Removed

[Soukyuu]

The quality of pvp would obviously take precedent over a movement animation if it came down to one or the other.

No, it should not. Not in a game that has a high lean on realism, lore, and PvE. PvP is only a bone thrown to those who absolutely want it, which is why it's going to be contained to arena-type events.

PvP sells games/keeps the subs rolling.

Not the case with FFXIV ARR, at least from what we have heard so far.

Don't think allot of people are going do a bunch of pvp but I could be wrong to lol

I'm talking about MMOs in general.

PvP is the biggest part of an MMO for a large amount of people. Obviously that hasn't been the case historically with SE MMOs. If they are however looking to generate that market, which I don't think we can say for sure we know what they are truly trying to establish, then pvp would take priority is what I mean.

You will never see a game with Warcraft-like subscriptions or other big games (GW2, SWTOR) sales numbers without the promise of an engaging pvp system. Are SE's ambitions set that high for ARR? I don't know. I just know that its nearly a priority to have a good pvp system if you want to try and make as much money as those titles.

Edit: Also, where have they said that pvp is on the back burner compared to pve? Its not surprising to me in the slightest if that's the case, I'm just wondering if its been said.

What in the Hells is this? This isn't a fighting game! This isn't "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm KO'd"!

The proper term is "noob"!! Not "scrub!"

Meh, they're all the same. Kids and their terminology lingo. Besides the answers song says "Walk free" alot so it's okay to use fighting game lingo. :P

It was in one of the interviews back when the first chunk of information was released, nothing recent. I don't remember which one it was.

I hope that its still there in 2.0. I found it to be very aesthetically pleasing to see my character make natural looking starts, stops, and turns.

Exaclty the way i feel. Some people might not even really think about it, but will notice something's not right if it's left out.

I hope they add the animations again, atm it looks like the character is sliding around on the surface of the world instead of actually running on it. This seems to be the norm for other MMOs and it's one of the things I really detest about them, lets hope XIV ARR isn't tarred with the same brush.

The animations are not complete. It's already been confirmed. Thread closed.
