This is what I've been saying since the Gamescom demo and I got crap for it too. As others have pointed out, I too felt that the characters have lost their "weight" when it came to animations. However, I do hope that this will somehow be adjusted later, preferably during beta.

Also, is it just me, or the male Miqo'te in the video pretty much has the exact same battle stance as midland Hyur and then some?
