Animation

[Vatom]

Just a quick question to my fellow Wols and Lols

Do you think it possible for square to sell or have you chase after custom animations for classes?

Now I not asking for this but it was a thought, is this possible? I'm sure they have more important thinks to worry about. We don't need another forgotten/ scrapped piece of content.

Also if you think its doable how do you thin they would go about it?

Could they do it? Sure, should they do it? No.

At this point, they should give us the ability to 'downgrade' actions visually from the actions that get upgraded via a trait. The classic example is the Machinist Heated Shots. There are people that do not like the Heated Versions and would prefer to use the base versions, so allowing you to have the visuals of the basic shots but have the benefits of the upgraded shots should be the first priority, IF they were going to do a system like this.

I can agree with that as a priority first, though I can see them slapping that in there as a freebee. Overall I look back and see this as a we are done making the game thing the more I think about it. I just thought it would be fun to travel the world learning a new style, still the same game play for the class but looking alot different.

Heated ones means no playing with the class for me :-)

They did something similar to this with FFXI, where each job got a unique little flavor animation emote.

I suppose they could do something similar in XIV, but it probably makes sense to just focus on more role quest storyline depth or combat animations instead.

Yeah I agree they should focus on certain things first since we need it.

What is they start selling these new animation? Do anyone thin thats fair?

I also wonder would that animation affect the dps

(Emphasis mine)
They absolutely should not.

It shouldn't make a difference if the point is to be cosmetic.

This game seems to have animation skins. The two Nagxian warriors in Zadnor have their own lotus special effects when they attack as Dragoon and Warrior.

WHERE'S MY EGI GLAMOURS SE?!

It would honestly be really cool to have WoW's glyph system in the game. They're one of my favorite extra little things about WoW.
