AST Animations - Let us earn or buy them back!

[CelestialHealer]

Greetings!

Idk if this is the forum for this but AST and the celestial healer / tarot aesthetic is what drew me to FFXIV.

I'm in love with how alive and immersive FFXIV feels, The detail and love put into the game still blows my mind. It is the first MMO that I feel like actually caters to roleplayers.

I LOVE the animations that Shadowbringers brought to the table but was really really disappointed to learn that so many beautiful animation were stripped.

I understand that these decisions were made with end-game balance in mind and more power to ya! Just PLEASE reconsider throwing out such beautiful artwork..

Let us earn or BUY these animations as EMOTES such as "royal road" or the lord/lady card animations we're about to lose, etc..

For some these are inconsequential losses or things that they don't even notice but for some of us these are what makes the game enjoyable and we as Astrologians stand out.

No harm comes to the rest of the game for tossing these breadcrumbs to nerds like me. Thanks

I really really miss the animations for disable and Stella. WHY YOU TAKE THEM SE T_T

I would love to get more emotes like Victory Pose and Battle Stance that actually use some of the lost animations. A new Battle Meditation or Show of Power Emote for every class would be nice. Leeches was a personal favorite as a Scholar Main that I dearly miss. Giving every healer Esuna is great for old school Final Fantasy enthusiast but it makes every healer seem less interesting to use the same animation. It would be great if each healer used an "Esuna" that looked different because the way they crafted the spell differed. One can only hope we can one day get individuality back.
