Viera’s jogging animation admittedly caught my attention when briefly testing a future character. While it’s not my favourite, I do appreciate that it was both different and not overly delicate. Viera have already been a bit of a disappointment to me by being another somewhat “cutesy” race but at least the emotes and running animations didn’t exaggerate it too much. I consider it along a similar vein to how I like the really stiff auri animations. I feel like it gives a sense of unseen difference in anatomy and helps differentiate the races a little more. I enjoy cute races and characters but the game already has plenty of that. Balance is good.

Also I don’t really know how miqo’te can be considered to have a “feminine” run. It looks normal to me.
