Red Mage sprint animation

[Shirolumi]

I know this probably won't go well and is likely to get ignored... by am I the only one disappointed with the Red Mage running and sprint animation? Red Mages have this elegant feel to their animations but the run looks kind of... goofy. Machinist used to be the masters of sprinting goofy, but even they got a better looking one this expansion. I'd prefer it if it looked more like the AST one, which to be honest, I expected it to look like.

Any one agree? Disagree?

OMG *spits out drink and choking snort laughs* BAHAHAHHA! Ok I will definitely be sheathing my sword as I run cuz.... looks like if he's not careful he'll accidentally get the sword stuck in the ground and trip and fall! Hahaha

That's what I was thinking "That sword is awfully close.." between that and the parachute I can see a Lala running, wind picks up and they drift back swinging in the air. Though if their sword gets stuck I can see them just flipping over it and pull it back out of the ground and keep running. Lala's...graceful lil cabbages.

Lol it doesn't even look bad. He's a swordsman. The blade should remain ahead of him so he can easily get into formation for thrust attacks.

For me he's just like he's leaning forward too far like he's a jet running down a runway about to take off XD I mean it's not terrible but it is kind of funny looking

Until I saw this thread I had no idea that jobs other than NIN had unique sprinting animations. Do all jobs jave them or just the 2.4+ ones?

[Shirolumi]

All jobs will get them in 4.0.

Here is DRG, MCH, SAM and WAR.

It's not that it is BAD, it just doesn't look very pretty is all. I would've liked the crystal medium arm to extend back a little more like AST, as of now, holding both the sword and the crystal forward makes it look goofy as he wiggles his shoulders when running. Looks very uncomfortable.

Oy...here's my important question: which mount is the most Red Mage-y?
