What animations would you change if you could?

[Iscah]

Elezen bow, that final head tilt just seems so arrogant. Uhh...yeah also the running animations. Male elezen dance is horrid.

Both of these, so very much. The rest of the bow animation is fine, it's just that last backwards stretch like "there, I've been polite, now I can go back to being all superior."

(Double-annoyingly, it seems like NPCs already have an alternate "simple bow" that they use occasionally in cutscenes. A bit stiff, but a lot less overdramatic.)

The Miqote male sitting animation. Before switching to this race I had no idea how awkward their sitting pose was.

Use /cpose while sitting and there should be some alternate options - unless of course you've already done that and they're all bad. (I don't have a Miqo'te character.)

Seeing as NIN got a unique pose and animations to seperate it from ROG (which was the same as GLD), I would like to see something for SCH as well or SMN. It doesn't really matter which one just give them something unique so that aren't just some job with the same book pose/animations you know.

Paladin:

Flash.
Its the worst animation in the entire game, with the most annoying sound.

Circle of Scorn
Kinda boring.

Shield Swipe.
Makes no sense.

Dragoon:

Full thrust.
Dragoon is the most fun looking class, but full thrust is the most boring looking animation for a level 50 finisher.

Warrior

Every Warrior combo animation
except Storms Eye... and maybe butchers block cause they are all sooooo boring and make no sense.... fell cleave also makes no sense.


Other

The White Mage, and Black Mage weapon drawn animations. They dont use shields anymore, please give them back the 1.0 stance. Its even in the game, watch when a WHM/BLM parry with a duel handed weapon, they revert into the 1.0 stance. Please.

storms path
i always felt PLD victory and Battle emote should be swapped

Transpose

For me its just the "Heated" shot animations for MCH, up until u get these MCH's attack animations are pretty tame when it comes to wakey-jumps then BAM ur suddenly a god damn acrobatic for 3 attacks... I get it Anime loves there "Gun-fu" which is fine if the class ways always that wakey, honesty just the option to change them back to un-heated animations & get a fire aura to my gun or something when heated would be fine... 'sigh' at lest the casting animation is gone so I can worry less about my avi's wrist health at a MCH.

I do agree thou WHM's sprint animation looks dumb

[Mansion]

White Mage Stone IV.
Red Mage sprinting.
BLM and DRK's battle pose.
The wiggly fingers of AST when casting.
Male Miqote squatting, and also their surprise expression (where they raise their hands, fold their fingers and go all "MEOW?!", during the MSQ cutscenes it's weird.)
Lallafels' existence.


Since I recently switched to male Ao Ra, indeed our running animation is weird. I think it's due to the fact that all races have the same speed, although Ao Ras look like they are "nerfing" themselves to keep other races' pace.

[ReiMakoto]

The mch heated animations. Id be okay with them if they were only during overheat, but for 90% of the fight, they are so excessive it hurts, I just wanna shoot things with my gun man.

[Roda]

The running with samourai... It looks so weird and not fluid at all. Plz SE change it. Same with white mage.

Pretty much every samurai animation. The non sprint running looks real dumb and I die a little on the inside every time my character jumps to strike, removing her root and throwing out any and all power that coulsve been in her strike.

[Metalwrath]

Bring back original warrior overpower animation.

I'd probably add Dark Knight to my main jobs if their weapon drawn stance had their sword low and pointed up rather than extremely wide and above their heads, like so:
