Petition: Keep the Animation!~

[IveraIvalice]

No it looks terrible, have you seen the side stepping? it's very very very unnatural

Yeah that looks terrible because the animation itself is terrible and not sinced up good with the actual movement of the character on the tech side, itsnot really a split rigging thing

"Leg and torso animation" refers to the idea that the torso and legs animate independently of each other. So if the upper body is still halfway through a WS, the legs can still animate for walking around without having to cut out an entire body's worth of animation.

Imagine a Dragoon half way through Jump, his legs decide to take a walk while his upper body is still flying.

Hilarity ensues.

No, i don't actually believe this could ever happen.

Wait, I'm sorry but can someone please shed some light on just what animations they're intending to remove? Do you mean the start/stop animations between moving? I hope they don't take these away. Fluid movement is one of the more interesting features this game offers. It feels so unrealistic in other games when you move then suddenly pop into your idle stance. And it really doesn't slow anything down, you're still responsive save for the brief moment it takes the server to register your movements.

Now as for jumping I don't care too much if you don't slow down or have some staggered movement phase, this is just for aesthetics so it doesn't matter as much. Just as long as you don't do some freaky slide animation if you're moving and jumping at the same time. When you jump you slide across the ground upon landing until the animation ends, that'd look too cheesy. The biggest I hope I have though is they'll rework the weapon sheathing/unsheathing animation they currently use. It's nice, but the sped up animation feels so unnatural, same with crafting animations. Hand someone a tiny hammer and a chisel, watch them hammer away like they're on speed. Armorsmith's hammering is twice as bad.

I am glad they are willing to sacrifice cumbersome animations that hinder game play and work around it while still providing next generation graphics f

Damn iPhone

To finish my idea: I will be happy to provide feedback on them when beta starts.

[LlenCoram]

Me no like the animation.Is it permanent ?Or there will be rework? Make animation and gameplay gud together

Brilliance! There's is no good way to make an argument on twitter it seems xD

If it comes back down the line somewhere, Im fine with that.

The important issues are being delt with in proper order, if you ask me.

[Zezlar]

I see this being discussed on the live stream tomorrow.

This thread and the arguments being made by the players who are fighting to preserve the "FF feel" as they claim to be, are pathetic. I get you're bored and all since content is lacking currently but wow, to make this much of a deal for something so pointless.. is astounding. Lets be honest the animations aren't even spectacular.

FINALLY smooth gameplay vs the char moving slightly and an extra step when stopping..

that's a no brainer.. but I guess you people have to cry about the dumbest things
GJ wasting 25+ pages and the time you took to write all those pointless posts

i dont know what thread you have been reading but its not this one, where is the talk of FF feel? i havent heard that in this thread at all and if it was mentioned it was probly the really early posts.
you clearly havent read all the way to the end to even know what has been talked about in the last couple pages, because what we have been discussing is feedback to the dev team, no one is bitching or moaning as someone stated in an earlier post.
your just wasting your own time by posting here, this is a thread to discuss keeping the animations.
your generic post of "you guys cry about the dumbest things" "pointless posts" "arguments made by players" shows that you dont even know whats going on here
so how about you read before you post, and when you do, post about something useful
i dont know what you were trying to accomplish here but you didnt help anything
