Anyone else... kind of want DRK to get new standing/running animations?

I like the DRK standing pose. The running/sprinting poses have never really bothered me, but I had always found the way they held their sword out before them interesting. It was one of the things that made me try the job when I first started this game and wanted to pick a tank to level. I’d hate to see it changed, really.

The way DRK stands is okay, but the running animation looks like you're trying to shovel snow along your driveway or something. It's the main reason why I dropped it after getting to ~50, I just can't stand how stupid it looks. People can harp on about how it's 'realistic' or whatever, but I think the entire game concept is beyond realistic at this point. If they had a running animation more like the SAM one, I think it would be better.

It's only awkward because it's not featured in more games and anime these days. Artist tend to go for more fanciful and "cool" looking fighting techniques, however even with the Abyssal/ Dark Magic skills Dark Knight's use, i find it very comforting that an iconic weapons such as the great sword was given such a unique and historically accurate style.







and it's still used to this day.



Hope it stays that way.

It still just looks incredibly awkward to me. The running animation in particular sucks. I feel like the sprinting animation should be the running animation, and maybe the sprinting animation should either be sprinting with the sword held in one hand (like they're overcome with adrenaline and rage), or pulled even further back, maybe dragging along the ground.

The DRK drawn weapon pose is a reference to Dark Knight Cecil in FFIV. Sure it looks strange because it's not so common than what we see in media but nevertheless it's a type of way to hold a sword.
