Lack of animations not addressed in live letter

[Rex]

I repeat:



Quoting this harder so people can see that they're IMPROVING things, and not sweeping it under the carpet.

Is it so hard to see even a hint of silver lining?

I'll repeat it for everyone.



I DID see a turning animation.

Now if I could just link all of you to the point in the live letter that I saw it...

We'll have to wait until they rerelease it to the public.

Where is the turning that isnt like "woo spinning on the spot!"

The awesome side moon walk at 25:40
The awesome walking backwards while doing a 180 spin at 25:50

Really improved XD

I'll repeat it for everyone.

Please do, link away the time you saw turning animations, and that he doesn't walk backwards and spins on the spot.

You're saying you saw something that the devs said they took out on purpose. lol.

1:03:50 The tall Hyur(?) White Mage looks like his feet are shuffling while he turns?

Right around 26:50 - 26:54 right when he stops he swivels slightly and there is definitely a shuffle in there. then right after that everyone crowds around him so it's tough to notice anymore. But I noticed it again around 27:33 - 27:35. I fell asleep shortly after this part so I have to go through and watch the rest.

EDIT: Forgot the link lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAa7D...ure=plpp_video


EDIT: Just saw it again at 27:50 - 27:54. Did anybody see these?

Are we sure that they didn't say it was removed temporarily? Is it possible something was lost in translation? Because don't forget...there's going to be a PS3 version..and I'm sure the PC version will come with gamepad support. This is just the optimal way of controlling the character with keyboard and mouse. I don't think you'll be sliding or whatever people are complaining about if you use a controller.

I can't believe how angry people are over this. I mean, come on. You'll live. XI's character animation didn't have swivel animations at all. No one seemed to care then. And when you'd be locked on a target, you would back up, but everyone else saw you literally turn around and walk slowly. And when you'd strafe around a target. To everyone else, they just saw the normal run animation. This time you can always see how everyone is moving. Anyone mention that? No...straight to the negativity.

He did, and I saw it too. The devs said they removed the gradual stop animations, not turning in place.
