Character animations

I'm amazed at how picky and overly critical people are about something is still a work in progress.
In any case, even when they are done I know there's still going to be people winning about the most miniscule things that might not even be an issue.

XIV is game that needs to be overly criticized and picked apart. They need all of the feed back they can get, whether it's feedback you agree with or not

Why do you HONESTLY have an issue with people airing grievances?

No one is being picky -- Just compare the animations between the two versions, if it doesn't change post Alpha and Beta, it's been scaled back horribly.

While the new casting and spell animations in the trailer looked great, is anyone else disappointed by the overall animation changes? One of my favorite things about XIV were the realistic and grounded character animations. You moved and stopped with momentum, characters would turn and face things properly, and it all felt really good. The gameplay videos look as if they've thrown all of that way and replaced it with a standard MMO movement system (With the typical, really awkward back pedaling motion) and everything looks choppy and weightless

Perhaps it's simply alpha footage, but I have a feeling this was an intended design change

I said the same thing a few weeks ago but nobody listen to me. It's sad really...

I hope I see Migote running like cat people and not humans with tails glued on or in cat suits. Put the huntched shoulders raised cat run back in.

I think you can add realistic momentum into a fluidly animated game. Guild Wars 2 has managed it very well. Whilst it doesn't have great animations for every race, the Asura's (small people) stopping and starting animations are really well done.

seriously i like the white mages spell effect (while casting) much more what we have now.

GW2 is the most terrible example for animations, graphics and natural movement.. and character proportions. . you cant be serious.

Lalafell animations more relastic than -> Asura animations.. that been said.

i think the miq'uote walking has some kind of cat movement ... in a human way.

next step is that you ask for elezens to fly like little bats with their ears, eh? ;XD or the miq'uote moving on their 4 feets like Charrs in GW2 eh? ;XD

The Miqo'te actions seem very good with the tail / ear motions of what I saw.

Let's have generic cat women instead of an entirely unique race.
