Realm Reborn = downgrade?

[Nemy]

The FFXIV community: They would rather have the game delayed for another 2 months to have "better" character animations.

Stay classy.

Ironically, what you described, is actually classy.

Someone unfamiliar with the sarcastic internet use of "stay classy", could read it without any degree of sarcasm, and make absolute sense.

Stay classy /v/

I love how the first person quoted applauds GW2's animation and the second quote calls them soulless. Lol, I don't think they played GW2 enough to see how fluid, unique and gorgeous they are, also that the weapon animations change depending on your profession.

Must have just watched a gameplay video and judged it off of that. Hmm, go figure...

That's my issue with the whole GW2 argument though. People can sit here and applaud them and call them gorgeous and then turn around and call ARR's trash. From what we've seen, or at least from my view, they look fairly similar.

in my opinion the animations in GW2 are just choppy and cartoonish..

look at this:

GW2 gameplay

and at 4:54 she falls onto the ground without any fluent anymation. its just "standing" -> lieing on ground. and you see how choppy the animations are when she fights while getting hit.. and strafing to the side. its just choppy and awful. and you are complaining about the animations of the pre-alpha in ARR?^^

the movement animations and the character design is so damn ugly in GW2. (look at the video please.. and i played the beta as well so i say in real its even more worse.).. well i think the world design of GW2 is cute, and it has its own atmosphere.. but the animations are far away from being superior. Just speaking about the char animations.
i cant understand you guys really.

That video is from 6 months ago. Beta. Enough said about that really, I do WvWvW enough to know that what you pointed out is a non issue.

yea and ARR is in pre-alpha? ;XD
what are you talking? it still looks the same... oh man... what has WvWvW has to do with animations? ;XD im not talking about fun factor, acustic, sound, spell effects etc.
just talking about the character movement animation:

thats better movement animation for you? (WvsWvsW) (i thing its ok when the fun factor is great enough but thats how you criticise ARR)

Where did you learn to count? In Trolland?

you need an "like this if you think the animations are good enough" post to be able to compare. this is nonsense.

It sure is more than "4 or 5".

How about 175 likes in 12,954 views, and 288 replies?

This thread is not the petition, you can agree, yet not feel like liking it.

Also, how did you reach the conclusion that it's not much?

Good enough for what? Play the game?

This is tricky issue to compare, since this is the official forums of FFXIV, almost all of us would prefer better running animations and responsiveness, and almost all of us would play the game regardless of the running animations.

I mean, you and me belong to both groups. If those threads lead to the improvement of running animations while maintain responsiveness wouldn't you be happier?

This is why I love Tonkra, he always misunderstands the conversation and defends things that nobody has tried to suggest in the first place.

Look man, as its been stated in this thread already many times. Nobody is comparing the quality of animation that GW2 has. The whole reason GW2 was even brought up in the first place was to prove to SE that gameplay and animation don't affect each other. So their reasoning for leaving out the missing animations in ARR's alpha for "gameplay first" reasons is B.S. if GW2 can do it (even if they do it uglier). Stop derailing the thread with your overemotional nonsense.

I can only wonder what poor nemy is saying

[Aion]

are we talking about inertia movement or whole animation? please keep in topic
