What animations would you change if you could?

i always felt PLD victory and Battle emote should be swapped
quick cast
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

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.

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.

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:

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.

Three things come to my mind when I think animation changes.

I've always disliked how female characters have side-saddle riding animations for the horses, I'd at least do a /cpose to swap between side-saddle and normal riding.

I can't play female midlanders because of their running animation. I can't. Every time I actually load in as one and take my first few steps and see that girly girl run with the arms flailing all over the place drives me insane. I'd change that one without hesitation.

I'd change male Highlanders mount animation for the Flying Cumulus mount. After looking at it for awhile, I don't dislike it so I don't really mind, but the mount animation that makes it look kinda like you're surfing on the cloud is so much better.

[Eloah]

I'd like for the Summon animations to be a bit more generic. The egi-glamours and Scholar summons don't need elements flying around when they are summoned.

And it's not an animation, but the male lalafell pose, where your hands are behind your head. It would be nice if it didn't look like you broke both arms to be in that position.

[Bonbori]

I actually wish side-saddle riding was an option for ALL races, not just midlanders. Straddling mounts while wearing robes/long skirts stretches them out and clips though the mount and I can't stand it. Even a /cpose option to switch between leg alignments on any mounts that use the chocobo/horse animation would be great.
