    Opinion on Female Hyur Run Animation?

    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?"

    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:

    Same here I think Midlander's run is the best in the game and sexy like a real girl should be and no tail mean lots of booty to see I love booty.

    It is subjective that's why this post will only anger most and I am angry. 1st in real life as human evolved tails were dropped ask yourself why? because human reproduce better without them. Men like a tailless females better is why they won out in the evolution contest. I picked Hyur Midlander because of this and the fact that to me they are the best looking models in the game. Yall say we look derpy I say yall look unnatural.

    I kind of like their run, though.

    Either way, it'd be nice if we could change our run animations.

    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.
