Realm Reborn = downgrade?

[Rognis]

In the video shown at Gamescom 2012 (that one can easily also find on Youtube), you can clearly see that the animation of the characters is seriously severed.

2 of the main aspects of the running animation are completely gone.

1. The leaning left or right of the characters as they're strafing / changing direction is gone.

2. The animation of the characters as they stop running (that extra step to define the stop) is also completely gone. The characters just stop moving their legs, and that's it.

Please don't tell me that 2 of the most important things that made the animation in FFXIV so good compared to other mmo's are gone for the sake of jumping.

Just quoting a similar thread that i have discovered since we have the same concern :

It's pre-alpha...

How did you get the notion, that getting answers which does not fit your own view.. is a bad thing?

I.. didn't. How did you get the notion that i got the notion that getting answers that do not fit my own view ....is a bad thing?

I only expressed a dislike towards blatant trolls that replied with "HEY LOOK It's THIS thread again" pics etc..

I do my best to discuss other views. This is what i originally did with you, until you started accusing me of "twisting" things and refusing to address my points, and generally being kind of upset for some reason.

You are such a funny guy.you are completly rewriting the Sentence..

Aww, stop crying man, i obviously never intended to actually fool anyone into thinking that was your own words. Your original quote was right above it, followed by a "fixed". And we all know what "fixed" means. Its been on the interwebs for ages.

I didnt even start yet.

What are you waiting for?

You are 100 Years to early, to get what i'm "trying"

Hahaha, i think you're 100 years too early, specifically 15 April 1912, on your Intellectual Titanic, right after it hit the iceberg.

Rinsui was being sarcastic, wasn't he.

It's pre-alpha...

I know. And i hope that this will not be the case in the final product, although there are solid reasons, already expressed in this thread to be concerned that the animation will be seriously downgraded as you can see in the video, and a very solid reasoning that is also already expressed in this thread that this is the time to ask the developers some clarification, and/or to tell them how we feel about it.

(i'm obviously not speaking for everyone, but i'm not alone in this.)

Yup, you have to consider that there probably is tons of bugs and stuff just waiting for us in the Alpha and Beta Phase. They probably wanted to cut down the chances of problems just including the bare basics to display what they wanted to show which was the new User Interface, gameplay mechanics, and dynamic lighting system, of which Immersion features like subtle animations and basic outdoor physics were probably left out.

You are getting more and more butthurt, dont you realize how your comments going from someone who tried to be some "smart guy", into some really strange comments with an agressive attitude?

What are you waiting for?

I dont know, maybe for a Brain to grow inside your Skull? I did not even say that i wait for anything.

Hahaha, i think you're 100 years too early, specifically 15 April 1912, on your Intellectual Titanic, right after it hit the iceberg.

Copying parts of my phrases doesnt make you look any smarter. And the Titanic sank on 15th of April 1912, it was hitting the Iceberg on the 14th. lol

Rinsui was being sarcastic, wasn't he.

Nope, he was actually someone who used his Brain and was capable of having an actual discussion. And like i said before.. its working allready and so it will continue.

Next time, on "As The World Turns..."

Hahaha, Ultimate Projection. That's exactly what you feel you are resorting to, and you're mentioning it in a lousy attempt to stay above the situation.

I just want you to know, i don't think you're neither stupid nor actually mad at me, you just kinda lost it in the way.

If you want us to get back to our original subjects, i'm here, i got a lot of free time these days.

Maybe you can even ...start yet? (i'm sorry i couldn't resist)

I dont know, maybe for a Brain to grow inside your Skull?

Oh, come on now, you don't have to be mean. My comment about your Intellectual Titanic was comic relief. I knew it was kind of aggressive when i thought of it, but hey, in ~3 months from now i wont get to use it anymore.

Speaking of the Titanic,

the Titanic sank on 15th of April 1912, it was hitting the Iceberg on the 14th.

It hit the iceberg at 11.40 pm, literally minutes before the 15th, and "right after" is open to interpretation.

What boggles my mind about this entire thread is that it has reached the 29th page. 29 pages of the following parrot responses:

• It's footage of Alpha game-play, get a grip!
• Is this a troll?
• No, this is not a troll.
• Your mom is legit

Okay, the last one wasn't in there anywhere that I could see but really... 29 pages?!?! LOL Oh wait, I just parroted too! omahgerd!

Your mom is legit

Threads tend to evolve this way since the new people coming in ignore the 20 pages above them and go straight to post something that has already been addressed multiple times already.

For example, a few really good posts about why this is the time to talk about the animation and not in the alpha exist in the first few pages, yet people still parrot "pre-alpha footage" instead of addressing the points made at these posts.

But i guess it keeps the thread alive since many people are interested / concern about this.
