Can Xaela characters PLEASE have different standing/walking animations?

[Terin]

Particularly for Males, the Au Ra have a very "prim and proper" standing and walking animation. I feel like that perfectly suits the Raen, however the Xaela are conveyed as culturally being VERY different.

In fact, I feel like this is even seen in their OTHER animations. Cheer, for example, shows a much more wild-looking side of their personality. So having them adopt this proper, uptight stand while standing just feels strange and awkward for them.

Not that they need to be hunched-over and hulking or anything, but just more... relaxed. Same of their standard walking animation.

For Females... well, I'd personally just like to see them made a little more aggressive-looking in general. I also feel like the Xaela of both genders should sport small but distinct canines, just to look a little more "savage".

I know the Xaela have been around a long time now, but... well, I felt like these were changes worth making from the very start, and I'd still welcome them with open arms. Like I said, it just feels weird for the Xaela to look so prim and proper, a more relaxed stance would FAR better match their overall personality, I think.

If anything something similar to cpose that changes stuff like walking, idle, and weapon idle could be added but it'd be a big undertaking.

Ye, I absolutely hate the male au ra walk. So...stiff feeling. The run is...eh, but that walk is something else.

I've honestly gotten used to the male animations at this point.. Their run/sprint is 100% goofy as hell lol. I do agree that at least female Xaela should have had different animations given their culture and all that...

If anything something similar to cpose that changes stuff like walking, idle, and weapon idle could be added but it'd be a big undertaking.

Weapon idles and animations are universal barring a few exceptions (Roe/Hrothgar WAR has a different stance), so they wouldn't really need to change anything about those.

Dude I'd kill to have Xaela look more aggressive, sadly I doubt we'll ever get such changes but it can't hurt to dream.

I don't think they'd alter it now and change it for people who like their characters the way they are, but it's definitely something that should have happened at the start.

They're going in the direction of making things more rather than less similar though, with the recently added races just importing half of an existing model's animations.

Being honest, the Squeen's answer is going to be

But maybe one day, if they ever get out of the hole they dug themselves into with their spaghetti code, and figure out the server issues on top of that, we might see something akin to how PSO2 allows players to obtain (either via purchasegacha, or through in-game events and player shops) different animations to apply to their characters various modes of action (standing, idling, walking, running, dashing, jumping, landing, gliding, swimming...).

I doubt they'll give us this just like they won't change the hrothgars so they dont have a back problem.

I agree though, it would be nice for us to have different animations or rather, being able to choose some. Especially Xaela females, those genki girl animations really dont match.

I'd like to have the option for more aggressive stances/animations across the board - not just for Xaela. Raen may have left the Steppe long ago but they're still well known for their strength and martial prowess.

The option for more bulk/muscle definition for both Raen and Xaela would also be appreciated. I wish we'd get an expansion of character customisation across the board.

[Duskane]

I'm okay with it
