One of the main things that bugs me about FFXIV is that every single race's animations look the same... I'm not talking about emotes; I'm talking about battle animations. Every caster class holds their weapon the same way. Every tank holds and swings their sword in the same way. In FFXI, every single race had their own unique battle stance for each weapon/spell. They were similar in some ways... yes, but not identical. I loved the sense of racial identity everyone had, even in battle. Now all we have are unique emotes and sitting poses.
