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?
Honestly the Astro running animation with their weapon out is one of my favourite in game, it looks so appealing to me. In contrast the Summoner/Scholar running animation bothers me to no end so every single time I sprint I sheath my weapon because my eye starts to twitch O.o (Side note when are they gonna let us switch the dominant hand of our characters. I want to hold my summoner book in my left hand because alike to the Astrologian I typically would flourish my motions with my dominant hand when drawing cards/casting spells INNER TURMOIL!!!)


As for the Red Mage Running animation I know other people have stated that it makes sense the way that they are running but honestly I was expecting something a little more refined, I literally can't stop thinking "boop boop boop boop" as I watch his feet in that video XD I think something like having the hilt faced forward with the blade back to their left side and the crystal held above during their run would look nicer. It would still look like they would be prepared to slash at a moments notice but without the awkward sword swinging that the current animation has. That being said, I'd probably run goofy if I had a long sword hanging out in front of me, so I guess it will grow on me.
