Honestly, was just thinking about this again today, and MAN would I really like those animations adjusted.

To me, the Xaela just give off this "civilized barbarian" sort of vibe, but having their standing and walking animations be SO rigid, it just kind of feels inconsistent. Whereas when you look at their Cheer and Rally animations, you really feel like these guys are a little more wild, the whole "prim and proper" standing animation, and "elegant, measured pacing" of their walking animation just comes off as "wrong".

Just loosen their stance up a bit, make them look a little more casual when standing, and the same for walking, maybe give them a little more "swagger".
