Spell-casting animation..?

[ShellQ8]

I'm sure everyone noticed something *weird* about the way Yoshida's hyur was casting his spells in the last Live letter.

The first second for the casting animation is good, when you swing your weapon in a circle and it makes a cool effect (like what the Lalafell did in the trailer) but then the delay animation looks like a..



Whatever this is, it looks silly, don't you guys agree?
I hope it's a temporary animation, not *final* for ARR.

I prefer this that the current "I touch my forehead" one

I think it's not bad at all just hope they do fix the delay on the animation.

I like much this new animation. No problems at all.

animation are still unfinished

Lol then maybe it's just me, sorry if I started a meaningless topic.
I did like the effects, the start and the end of the animation. I just didn't like the body movement in the middle.

My opinion, I don't like it. I'd prefer the hand-to-face, if I had to chose between the two.

It's really personal preference.

I like the current, understated "touching the forehead" animation, but obviously many others here don't.

On the usually quiet Japanese forum, there are actually a number of people saying the new animation looks weird... so who knows what will happen.

I strongly loathe the current casting animation because EVERY race essentially shares that animation. It only helps to promote non-uniqueness between the different races and sexes. The only minor difference in the animation between races is how they move their hand at the end of the cast.

The new one looks way better.

Well it does look very awkward.
