Thread: 2.0 Movement inertia: Removed

Those so called basics are just things introduced by a 8~9 years old game that had an almost completely different style to this company's games, which had features that worked despite not being the same as said 8~9 years old game. Contrary to some people's belief, games that don't mimic said game's features CAN work.

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.

I've seen stranger exploits used as tactics.

I think the idea is to "turn lock" the other guy. Though I can't say I ever even had any stalling when switching direction in 1.0. Least none I observed.

In any case, it's not like I'm for locking movement for animations. I've just seen stranger.

Also why did this thread get bumped? Please no.

What I meant is if someone thinks the movement inertia is an advantage to the opposite team then they are missing the point that they to, the opposite team, has the same weakness so in the end it's making no difference.

Lastly, I don't want to play and have the Gild Wars or any other mmo feel. Really FFXIV ARR will be in it's own league, but what 1.23 only had more than the others mmo, the subtle animations, they took it out. Now let's just see if it's something about an early build. I really hope it's just that.
