Opinion on Female Hyur Run Animation?

[Shuuli]

Are we talking about midlander or thighlander? Cause midlanders run like a lost 12 yo child. But I guess one can get used to that.

I dunno, I like it. Subjective I guess.

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.

Excuse me 12 old's don't run like strippers like mids do. When a mid walks ohhhhhhhhh shake it baby shake it ...

I like it actually but I can see how it would look awkward for other girls.

Wouldn't mind if it was a choice, i mean i still want to play an alt as a female hyur but not with this weird running animation. As i see it they should add a new option when you create your character to chose if you want it to have girly set of animation or not.

I know what you mean here, but the "girly" option is the Midlander female. That is the race you pick if you want a 100% human female and still want her to be really feminine. Highlander females, while they can still be gorgeous, are much more masculine in comparison to Midlanders. Their muscles, robust physiques, idle pose, assertiveness and rambunctiousness in their emotes display, and even their run animation differ so much from their Midlander cousins. If you want a less girly human female avatar, then Highlander is the way to go.

It's not awkward though. This is a perfectly natural way for regular girls to move when they increase their movement speed. It really is ok for a girl to be a girl.

I used to play highlander back in ARR but i never liked there faces tbh (same issue with female roe) when Au ra came up i instantly fantasia to a female Xaela because i thought after reading their lore that they would be more masculine than the Raen .... ended up it wasn't the case but luckily they give us the possibility to almost completly overide the girly standing animation by setting idle timer to 0.

From my point of view midlander just look better than highlander if it weren't for this animation, modder even already done it (replacing female midlander to miqo'te animation) so it's not that difficult.

As for the female midlander identity, i don't agree with you, i mean for me they are women and women aren't always about running like innocent little princess looking cute and frail

Frankly i won't take the risk to mod just to have a midlander alt but it's a shame that something that could be so easily added isn't a thing.

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.

That gif you posted up above does look a lot like the midlander run, but really that's the run of a person in a mini skirt and heels.....probably not the norm for most of us.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a "girly" girl, granted that's a whole debate waiting to happen as to what that actually means, but I suppose my slight issue with the run is they are supposed to be the generic character option, and evidently in SE's mind, basic females run like dainty princesses. And dainty princesses, if stories have taught me anything, need to be rescued by someone stronger and more capable.

As far as XIV is concerned, the overwhelming thought for me is "the run isn't my style", but there is definitely a larger issue with games in general in how they portray female characters as a whole.

I love the princess run. I literally switched to female Miqote a few days ago and honestly about to switch back to midlander. I miss the princess run to much.
