Hand Swap (Left Handed Animations/Characters)

[Cairdeas]

Not attacking you , i think we need more threads with less whining and i tell you this with the most friendly way posible.dont take it the wrong way,but,
Damn man you have a way of asking the most useless stuff ever now and then.
I support your idea none the less.
like from me.

If you never ask, you never get anything.

This is true, but like you said you wouldn't even use this.
I'm left handed and quite frankly I couldn't care less about how my character holds his weapon.
Requesting something like this is a waste of SE's time to be quite frank.
I'm sorry if you take this as a personal attack but honestly this is one of the most pointless things I've seen you request.

Would be nice, although It does seem hard. Maybe in the future yes, but for now I'd prefer they focus on more important things.

Its not pointless. There ARE users who had been requesting this as far back as 2009 in the Eorzeapedia Suggestion box back before the game even released.

There are players who WOULD use this.
And as far as I can tell, If SE did it, they would be the first MMO to do so. (if not any video game period allowing players to actively choose which hand they use.)

Why anyone would argue against a positive Character customization option that would increase a bit of the uniqueness for some characters is beyond me.

Its like people yell and scream "We want more customization!" before the game releases, but then when someone asks for it all you get is "ehhhhhhhhh"

While people may (and most likely a minority) have requested such a feature the question has to be asked, "Do they want it now?".
I wouldn't mind betting that the people who asked for this all the way back then don't actually play FFXIV now.

As for XIV having the chance at being the first MMO to do this, why is it so important that they put in something as insiginificant as this in the game just to try and stand out?
