Opinion on Female Hyur Run Animation?

[Fendred]

So I decided to give the female hyur model a shot because I think it works well with the kinds of classes I go for. The problem is their run animation doesn't make a lick of sense for the equipment they are wearing.

At least the way I imagine it, the reason a woman would ever run with their arms coming out like that is if they are being imbalanced due to having a rather large bust and are wearing loose clothing. It looks fine for robes and the cocktail dress that's supposed to pass for a female adventurer outfit, but that arm movement makes no sense for heavier armor or most medium armor. It feels kind of embarrassing to watch.

Any ladies out there willing to give their opinion on this? Am I wrong? Do I need to start stalking women more and watch how they move? I need help!

It's something that grows on you, i don't really pay it any attention, but compared to how female hilanders run i welcome it. I feel like asking everyone i see run "you lift?"

[Zyrusticae]

I despise it.

I wish they gave us the option of choosing which run animation we'd like to use (just like using /changepose to choose your idle standing animation). I'd much rather use, say, the Miqo'te run animation instead, which looks like a (generic) athletic gait rather than... whatever that is.

I was a female midlander in 1.0. The run animation was one of the main reasons why I switched. I couldn't handle the swishing any longer D:

I dunno, I like it. Subjective I guess.

When I fist saw the animation for it I was a little annoyed, but now I am used to it. I also either use sprint or a mount to move every time that I can XD It would be cool if we got to choose our movement animation.

The animation that is used when you're just moving without sprint? I run like that irl. Not a problem for me.

In 1.0 I was a midlander & for the longest time the way I ran bugged the hell out of me. So in 2.0 I switched to highlander which I ♥ so much, but I have a few midlander alts & it honestly doesn't bug me as bad now. I mean sometimes I look at it and think, "I look like I'm trying to dry wet nail polish as I run..." but it is more tolerable now lol.

[NorthernLadMSP]

Highlander run is far better than the derpy midlander run. But, they could both use improvement.

To be fair, all the races' run animations do look a bit silly but in different ways and all of them look fairly strange when you are wearing heavy armor.
