Please change Viera's running animation!.

[Reimmi]

It's not that they're not feminine
it's just a janky clunky run overall, reminds me of male night elves from wow

[AngelCheese77]

Yeah, let's have the devs waste a ton more money to change the animation ..... /s

[MOZZYSTAR]

...A feminine run? They ARE a warrior race. Independent, physically and even mentally strong women and you want them to run "femininely?" What does that even entail? Their arms to either side with their hands up, wrists turned down, as they flamboyantly trot in their heels? I don't get it. Imo, their run animation is fine.

[AvaMoonchild]

I feel that Viera's running animation is far from feminine and really needs to be changed.


They currently run like male athletes at the Olympic games when they should be cute and graceful just like the bunnies they are!...

This animation is just fine. We dont need another feminine waifu race. Tbh they have more muscles than some male characters.

I guess it depends on the player's opinion and to me Viera's (normal) run is not "dainty" as you'd say and I would love it if the dev team changed that to a "cute" animation I liked so that my experience playing that race would be enjoyable.

From a third point of view Viera's run might look normal but from the character's point of view (in my opinion) is not delicate at all.

The dev team doesn't necessarily have to waste resources to change the running animation of one race and in doing so they could create a new system to allow players to choose the one (running animation) they want to use, I don't see why a race must be limited to certain animations only, it only makes characters lack personality.

I've tried other races before but their run is not acceptable to me, Hyur Highlander, Elezen and Au Ra females all have ugly normal running animations and now Viera joins them!...


The easy solution to fix more than one race's issues is to give them at least a second running animation, player chooses the one they want to use and everyone's happy!...

Everyone else is pretty happy with it. This is a pointless request. It doesn't make them lack character because the running animation isn't what you like. It separates them from the other races and makes them more unique. I'm sorry, but this is just a selfish request that would waste resources.

[AvaMoonchild]

I have Hyur Midlander alts and they run in a very feminine motion, female Miqo'te run femininely as well but also on the really cute side which is fantastic because kitten are the sweetest race in-game.


Viera however are not cute at all when running, all other animations are fine but running is awful!...

Please stay "sweetest race in game" ! also looks like everyone else is just fine with their animation.



You better change your thread title, you asked for a change, not for an option to choose for yourself.

If you don't like it then don't be that race. That's all I'm going to say about it.

It would be nice to have options to change running animations, I'm not gonna lie. But the way you tried to make a point didn't help your cause. Like I said just because a woman is not feminine by your standards it doesn't mean she's not feminine at all. The way you worded your requests make it sound like only your idea of what femininity should be is acceptable and anything that doesn't fit that description is ugly. Just like in real life women comes in alll shapes, forms and personality. You said Viera lack personality for running "not delicate", but if you're trying to standardize all women to run like a cat girl, that personality you're talking about will be even less diverse.

Would be nice to have an option to select your run just like we can with /cpose, and I support that for more customization options, but please don't diminish a group of women to elevate another. There's nothing wrong with athletes, amazons, tomboys or strong individuals of the feminine sex.

Miqo'te don't run properly anyway, your arms are not supposed to cross your chest while running, which is exactly what miqote do with their sprint animation.
Viera cross a little bit (so they technically don't have an athletes running animation) but it's not nearly as bad as Miqo'te.
As someone who has played years of Miqo'te and Au Ra, saying that Miqo'te has a nicer run animation than Au Ra makes me think you are trolling, Au Ra run much more nicely :V They walk better too.
