Combat Animations...

ArchivedUser

Based on what I've seen so far, I am not a fan of the animation direction of the game. Every movement seems far to static/realistic/boring to me...

I don't need back flips for back-dodges or anything ridiculous... but it would be nice if the combat animations had more ebb and flow to them.. like the animations in FF14.

Anyone else think similarly?

We have only seen pre-alpha footage. Compare this to some released games, pre-alpha Ashes looks pretty incredible to me!

I just think it's pre-alpha and it's too early to tell x.x

I want realistic animations. Nothing flashy and overdone that guarantees model clashing with armors/weapons featured in the game.

Sorry, but "pre-alpha" excuse is bullshit. 
Lo siento, pero la excusa "pre-alfa" es una mierda.

I agree, but there is a protective barrier against this kind of "criticism" about the game. Unfortunately, it is the kind of environment that makes us suspicious of the end of all that.

Are you expecting Ashes to be finished and polished in pre-alpha stage, two years before the planned release?

I read that thread before. What is your point?
