Thread: Request: 2.0 Character Creation option, Left Handed.

A nice idea, though I wonder how much extra data would be needed for additional animations. I suppose if it's limited to battle animations it'd be OK.

I do prefer the idea of choosing left or right at character creation, though. Real people don't get to choose, so just having the option at all is a one-up on real life. By the way, Kain Highwind is a lefty

Edit: If you deviate from your chosen laterality and put the weapon in the other hand (left in my case) you should get a small accuracy reduction... too complicated? Probably.

lefty here also so support this idea.

as a right i support this i think if they dont put this in there hand raciast lol

with respect to left-handed people, i support this idea.

Say hello ta making two animations, for every single weapon in existence..
Playstation 3's limitations will kill this idea..
Not possible I think if for that reason alone..
Also jebuss the amount of work they would have to do just for this is stifling.
For those who have 3d experience like myself, I'm sure you know.

It's not just the way a weapon is held, that will change. Even the way the character holing the weapon would stand, would have to change.
How they swing, etc..
Would also change every set of gears animations, based on the left handed movement.
