What animations would you change if you could?

Stone's developed some weird pattern where it seems to alternate between a projectile and the ground erupting underneath the target. I'm expecting the inevitable Stone V to just be the WHM conjuring a boulder several times their size.

Rocks fall, everyone dies?


(just hopefully not the party while the healer is DPSing...)

The one I hate the most is the Elezen running/walking motion ... I love the look of elezen (minus their necks), but the run makes me switch from them every time I give it a go.

I also dislike mlae miqote running animations ... why do they do the shoulder lean on every step? Makes them look like they broke their back in 5 different places.

Au Ra male running animation is similar to the male miqote animation, they bounce as if they are on the moon trying to jump 10 feet in the air with every step.

The Au Ra's horns and helmets ... some helmets looks really good with them, other's .. well others just look like crap due to how the horns interact with the helmets.

The clipping of hair styles in certain armor/helmets.

Clipping of robes/skirts/ long shirts and the mounts.

All of the "Heated" shots. No gaudy, detached-from-any-intuitive-physical-value summoning of mechanical cheerleaders for gun-fu, ideally. Nor gun-fu, for that matter.

It's not so much the animations, which do look unpractical, but more the visual effects of the heated shots that drove me away from playing MCH again, it looks cheap and completely loses the feeling of actually shooting with bullets. Suddenly you're summoning giant bullets in your back and weird, slow fireballs...

I actually really hate the male Au Ra and male Miqo'te running animations and it's the only thing keeping me from playing them. It just screams 'ooga booga cave man' to me. The RDM running animation is also super goofy.

I also used to hate the male miqo'te running animation. But over time i got used to it and my perspective changed about it. Now it seems like a fairly standard run to me. (Also the midlander run seems extremely stiff to me now in comparison)

The Male Au Ra is too goofy though. Idk what's going on with it.

1. I hope they'll update the WHM and SCH healing skill animations to be on a par with AST's healing skill animations.

2. I hope they'll unlock gendered standing, sitting and weapon drawn poses, so that any gender can use any of the poses.

Dunno what you got against male miqo run animation
Its the best of all males imo, at least theyre not running around stiff like they got something in their butts.

The Elezen males Walk/run animation.

Only reason I changed because the way he walks is feminine, I noticed this when I seen the Female Elezen running and walking the same way.

I popped a fantasia and turned into a Ra Au Male because the animation is like the elvaan of FFXI.

If they changed the Elezen males animation to walk and run correctly I would go back in a heart beat.

Without sprint.
SAM and RDM got their unique way of walking with their weapon out.
While the rest doesnt. I find it unfair

Exactly this, also the animations don't work for how frequently they're used if that makes sense. It's like, all of them look like finishing moves not just your regular shots. I'd have been perfectly fine only seeing these animations during overheat, then regular shots outside of it. It would make your wildfire "feel" a lot cooler too, because its not just doing the same thing but faster.

DRK running and sprinting animations are probably the only ones that I really dislike. Other DRK stuff looks fantastic, but please let me carry my sword more safely so I don't keep smacking it off the ground.

Also going to stand up for the Elezen animations - they're lovely! (female ones at least, haven't really seen the male versions).
