Running animation of Samurai

[Pokelong]

I wanted to adress the running animation of the samurai class while having the weapon drawn. It looks really stupid on my Miqote female character, I don't know if the animations are different between races. But everytime I watch my character moving around with the blade drawn, it hurts my back in real life. Why is she bending her back so unhealthy? Also the sideway walk looks really dumb.
Pls change the running animation to the sprinting-like animation, where she holds the sword to the side, that looks much smoother and cooler.

I love the Samurai class and gameplay and also the skill animations are hot, but I literally can't move around with the sword drawn, without hurting my own back. It's just not healthy with such a crooked back. It's a real issue, where I'm considering changing class because of that sole reason sadly.

Hahaha you should see them with the DRK sword drawn.
The Miqo all have a kind of hackles raised hunch that shows up from time to time.

Be careful what you wish for. People in HW complained that MCH animations were too stiff, now instead of Gunner we have acrobat magician with a gun shooting fire orbs.

So many animations are so rigid and/or too acrobatic.

MCH is so weird jumping all the time, it feels like it never takes a hold of its gun.
DRK running animation feels like you are dragging your weight across the battlefield, instead of dragging your sword.
The DRG/SCH/SMN/WHM running animations feel so stiff.

In short, I wish that at this point, and for the next xpac, they would rework some jobs' animations, especially for old classes. They've done a good job with GNB/DNC.

I dunno.. I kindof like the sam run with the weapon drawn out. Tho Gun breaker's run is loads better. Least for kool factor.

The DRG/SCH/SMN/WHM running animations feel so stiff.

I would argue that it looks especially stupid for ACN/SMN/SCH in particular.
Who in the world would even move around holding a book like that?

It would make much more sense if they were holding it under an arm while doing so or something...

Ninja run as a potato is hilarious. Like you do that "i am bird/plane" running animation.

It's real sad because I liked what we had with MCH. The fact you could shoot whatever but still have natural running animations was great.
