now to start, i know the task of changing one of the basic animations would be a huge thing, so im not actually expecting anything to come out of this, but its been something on my mind and i may as well get it out there.
the default hunched over stance (for non-Roegadyn/Hrothgar races) Lancer and Dragoon take when they draw their weapon is really awful. im not exaggerating when i say that its the only thing that prevents me from maining the job. while it can be somewhat passable on males, it looks just plain awful on females.
again, im not expecting a change to ever happen, but its worth putting out there that id love to see the default stance for Lancer/Dragoon changed on all races to be akin to the stance Roegadyn and Hrothgar take when they draw their spear. it looks powerful, battle ready, like at any moment they could leap upwards and come crashing down in a swathe of fire. on every other race they look like they just crawled out of the infirmary early struggle to lift anything over 2lbs (which some would say is fitting, i guess).
tl;dr id like Roegadyn and Ronso spear animations on all races because they're cool! i pray some day such a thing might be possible.
