Almost all races share the same animation run/walk cycle when unsheathing weapons. These are derived from the male midlander animations. You can tell if you've ever sprinted as another race (other than lalafell and sometimes roegadyn) using any of the 2.x jobs. It's the default male midlander sprint cycle.

But the animations for sprinting are soon to be updated. (not the best video but highlights the change).

Even though it's of low priority, can we please have the animations for the 2.x jobs updated. I really am tired of seeing my taller characters run so stiffly when holding a staff, or sword and shield!

And on the topic of 2.x animations, would it be technically possible to toggle through or change the current 'action idle pose'. Not to be mistaken with the /cpose feature we already have. Some things like the paladin unsheathed idle pose is so awkward looking to me, with that weird motion they do.

Thank you!
