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

Cloud's stance is a regular longsword "neutral" stance. The only reason he can do it is because the buster sword is light as a feather due to it's material and almost legendary status.

I'm just dropping in to say that the Buster Sword is actually extremely heavy and only the Mako-infused SOLDIERs are capable of wielding it. It was passed down from Angeal (whose father made it for him) to Zack then Cloud, and all of three started out dragging the thing on the ground because of how heavy it was. Most of the official descriptions of it state that it's "heavier than a sword has any right to be" or that it requires "Herculean strength" to wield.

For the OP: The current DRK combat stance is fairly close to the realistic stance and posture that a person wielding a zweihander or two-handed sword would use. Most swings were done from either a low stance or off the shoulder, if they were ever swung at all.
