Ragdoll physics {Can I have it?}

[Impulse]

* It'd add a neat game mechanic to battles. For example, the headbutt ability aldgoats have would send you flying and landing in a heap!
* It'd add some more realism to the game

Being knocked over, possibly into a clumped up mess and getting up moments later as if your arm/legs/head never bent 170 degrees in the wrong direction isn't very realistic.
Almost, if not every every game I've seen with this mechanic can get a bit weird with them as well. I can't count how many times I've seen arms/legs/heads/whole bodies twitching and in some rarer cases rolling in one spot over and over due to uneven geography or the slightest obstacle in the way. We all know this game has plenty of that.

Ragdoll physics may work for some games which were created with them in mind, but not FFXIV. Maybe down the road more situational animations could be implemented and used randomly per-situation in order to add variation, but ragdoll physics are just a lazy way to do things.
