why during cutscene its always like this ... (small spoiler)

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Then why can't scholars fully block attacks in game like she can?

[Critical-Limit]

some people got me wrong, i didnt wanted a full instance fight at that time !

but wanted seeing my character doing something else than just "standing" while everybody else got they're ass kicked !!
(if we follow that logic, if in real life your friend got they're ass kick like this in front of you, are you gonna stand still ? NO !)

and please dont give me the "yeah too much class wep, bla bla" its just skin ...,
set 1 animation and your good to go ...
(and most animation already exist in the database )

and for the "SE dont want to move your character for you"
O_o
there is already tons of quest and mission and CS, where you start point A and take back control in point B...

I never said you wanted an instance fight. But I believe that's the best way to feel engaged in battle without taking up too much resources.

remind me smn or sch, what skill do they use usually ?

thank you ...

did you saw yashitola, block a hit with her wand ?
hmmm

You said one animation set.

Having the casters do one thing and the physical classes do another is not one animation set.

if i use my own word, using your logic, 1 animation set would literally means, eveyrbody with the same animation (exactly the same one)
but how can you use an animation for a hmm, lets say a bow, when your animation is for a sword ??

yes i said "one animation set" but i didnt thought i'd have to specify, "for each class " because it was so obvious to me ...

There was a 14 page thread on this already. The game engine would take care of the various racial and armor appearance, but SE would need to make 13 different cut scenes. Do you want them to spend their time making your character block for a second, or would you rather they spend the time adding more content to the game?

Don't forget that you're also gonna be re-watching the cutscene in The Unending journey... which includes all DoL and DoH classes.

And having one for each class is a waste of resources.

Besides, how are you going to have the opponent react? A BRD bow attack is dealt with differently than a WAR axe cleave.

You'd have to choreograph the ENTIRE FIGHT to accommodate each class.

AND race. A sideways swing from Derplander would cut a male Elezen in half, but go straight over the head of any Lala.
The only epic cut scenes we'll get are the CG ones with our Derplander avatar

Then you accommodate each possibility. Quit thinking SE are a bunch of lazy workers who can't animate a character model. They could've done it but they didn't.

[Ashkendor]

If you ask me they're being lazy.

Quit thinking SE are a bunch of lazy workers who can't animate a character model.

You were saying?

[Kurogaea]

Oh shet, you got me lol. I meant "Quit thinking SE are a bunch of uncapable workers" There we go. poor word choice lol. Damn detectives XD
