    Literally who cares about the death animation... There are many more things that matter on the animation/graphics side: new skill animations, revamping the boring ARR animations, revamping the boring vanilla race animations (give some attention to Highlanders and Roegadyns for once).

    Obviously there are people that do. And some game devs as well. Take a look at League of Legends and even though the have a million characters each one has a unique death sequence. Seems to me if they revamp animations they could also take a look at the ones they havent touched. You ever been in a raid wipe where everyone dies at the same time? and looks exactly identical doing so? it's a bit jarring.

    Yes, but same funds and company. Either way though I agree, resources could be better used elsewhere. Some emote voices aren't even well synched with movements, and we could always use prettier looking skills.
