Getting worn out in battle.

[Hollowed]

So I had a thought (shocker!) anyway a feature I think would be neat is seeing your character getting worn down when said stat goes below a set %. For instance, when a healer is nearly out of MP they could be bent over a little attempting to catch their breath, or when HP is really low maybe on their knees from exhaustion. The best example I could think of is FFX, when your HP was below half you were slumped over and when it was really low you were on your knees not even able to stand. Cool concept I think. Thoughts?

Nice but wouldn't be worth it since you're always moving around in a fight most of the time and moving cancels out any other animation you were doing before that.

Nice cosmetics, but totally unpractical in Battle...

Yeah I like that kind of details !!

At the very minimum, they should like breath faster or deeper. When running they could do it in a clumsy looking way but still move as fast as normal.

I don't think most people are paying that much attention to detail during combat when they have other things to watch out for.. It'd be an addition that goes largely unnoticed by 99% of the player base. What they could do is implement a /panting emote.. Then you'll see a bunch of players in cities bent over panting

Camera zoomed back to max for any real fight. If my hp 8s low that's not the time to zoom in and take a selfie when on the verge if wiping.

Aesthetic effects like this would go ignored I'm a game where your virtually required to place camera at max distance and wipes usually happen I'm a matter of seconds.

Ain't nobody got time fo dat!

Makes no sense to be on your knees, yet still running at full speed dodging the next AoE.

Would be cool, but either the animation transitions would be super weird or they'd need to make new animations for the slumped over version of every race for every job... which is a bit much for a QoL thing like this. I'd love for it to be a thing, though. ):

I like the concept, but it would be a much more massive undertaking than it would be worth I think. Attention to detail in animations is always nice, but it might be gilding the lily in this case.

Alot of character movement details were removed from 1.0, like character weighted physics, in order to accommodate lower performance machines.

And yes it would look very awkward for BLMs to be slumping after every flare or tanks to be on the floor after every large hit from bosses.

This ain't a turn based game.
