Thread: 2.0 Movement inertia: Removed

locked in place [no thanks]

If they do it the 1.0 way you will be locked down doing w/e you want ...and if they don't do it 1.0 way people will still complaint it looks fake.. 1.0 's movements work in a single player game but this is a MMORPG..movements of your char is the last thing you worry about.. seriously all this people complaining all the time i think they are on the wrong genre ..they don't understand the basics of a RPG

The animations themselves aren't all that great, but they still have it implemented with no trouble. Imagine if Square could pull it off with good animation. I know they could do it, they're clearly skilled enough.

And it's been said quite a few times before: Movement inertia and such animations shouldn't have anything to do with animation locks at all. Animation lock happened when performing actions or weapon skills, not while moving. The two things have nothing to do with each other at all. Need I repeat that again? They have nothing to do with each other AT ALL. They should be able to fix that issue without degrading the movement animations.

To Gramul ...i'm afraid if SE pulls off something like that with GW2 as reference the complainers will find a way to call it "GW2-clone" and complaint some more ...these guys wont be happy w/o their nostalgia fix.

And Klefth when i said RPG basics i meant more like this


people keep demanding details that don't belong in this genre ...the most important aspects of this game will be others and as Yoshi-P stated he wants this to become the best Final Fantasy experience

1.0 did it before GW2 but did it wrong...1.0's animations were created for very slow and steady combat which is boring now-a-days
are those games you talk about MMORPGs? you answer yourself with the issue they come with
