    I dig Elvaan male animations for everything but running and greatsword. And magic... too fruity.

    Elvaan females look ridiculous with just about every weapon I've seen. Which isn't many, because they're so rare...

    Galka look coolest with hand to hand, but everything else seems basic... effective without any flash or polish.

    Hume females look great in everything but great katana and great sword stances. And polearm, though it looks good with a staff. I especially like their dagger and sword moves. Probably my favorite animations as a whole.

    Hume male... see Galka. I like their GKatana pose though.

    I hate all the mithra animations but katana and dual wield (not dual wield katana though.) They look sooooo weak and slow, even with light little daggers. ; ;

    Everything they do is ridiculous and cute, just as intended. /hate

        Watching a Galka wielding a Great Axe is the most badass thing ever.

            Hmm...too bad Tarus are so small that most people don't even notice these keen animations when they're used.

              The bias in this thread is so lame...

              Anyway,

              Hume M looks very gay wielding 2h sword (the motion is cool though), they have nice h2h stance and I like their bow stance. Yes, their hips do move...a lot :/

              Hume F is bent back a lot, they are kind of like the opposite of elvaan (see further down), feet out but their back is bent back.

              Mithras are giant spazs, seriously, everything they do it bent over and it looks like they twitch when they run. (I hate their running stances). They look good just standing there and doing nothing.

              Elvaan look bad in almost all stances, plus their stances dont make sense as many people have said. I hate how they run, and I hate how they have their legs and upper torso/head back but their crotch and midsection area is sticking out, it's annoying and gay. Good stances? I guess polearm and sword. Elvaan F look ok with some things, their running stance is hard to describe...

              Taru M look cool in fighting stances IMO, magic I they close their eyes and put their hands parralel to each other in a kind of cupping motion and shake them then open their eyes make a :D face and spread their arms out, thats for black magic atleast

              Taru F look so cute that it annoys me, infact almost everyinthing they do annoys me ;P they look extremely pissed off in fighting stance, which is kind of cool

              Galka I like their h2h stance, it's pretty cool, but they bend their knees a lot... Great axe is cool, looks like a very powerfull swing. I dont really like the way they run, especially with the tail. And I havent seen much of their other stances. They hold a pole in a weird way...

                you don't expect bias in a thread like this? duh.

                i break it down like this.

                mithras run the best.

                elvaans run THE worst. giant giraffes running around. so ooglah.

                elvaans do look freakin awesome with a bow or gun. give them credit for that.

                tarus have the best magic animation - their black magic looks killar. and it usually is, too. :D

                and taru's look so angry when they melee. ^^
                harr!

                  Of course I do, I just didnt think it would be this bad XD

                  And awhile back I was level my NIN sub with a taru WAR, she looked extremly mad when melee'ing, perhpaps it was because I was wearing subligar set across from her

                    Don't think anyone has said this, But when Elvaan's use spells or abilities their cloths act like there is a wind come from under them. They are the only race that gets this effect.
                    Elvaan Males also tap their foot when they fish.....

                      Sitting: Hume M (so non-chalant, unlike Elvaan which look pretty homo when they sit (hell, when do they not?), or Galka which just look clumsy)

                      Sword & Shield:
                      Stance - Hume F (So graceful, and they put their shield in front like perfect defenders) or Elvaan F (also raise their shield in front, look like true tanks)
                      Animation - Elvaan M (The downward slice with their other arm raised above head looks powerful)

                      Axe & Shield: (see above)

                      Great Sword:
                      Stance - Galka (Elvaan Male stance is a popular pick, but I think it looks awkward and stupid).
                      Animation - Hume M (Great Sword uppercut for the win)

                      Great Axe:
                      Stance - Galka (Angled to the side, like a realistic chopping/cleaving stance. Elvaan holding a gigantic top heavy axe like they do Polearms simply looks stupid)
                      Animation - Galka (gigantic overhead swing where Galka brings down axe from above and cleaves the foe, axe literally appears buried in the ground)

                      Polearm:
                      Stance - Elvaan M
                      Animation - Elvaan M (The massive thrust animation they do looks brutal)

                      Scythe:
                      Stance - Elvaan M
                      Animation - Elvaan M

                      Hand-to-Hand:
                      Stance - Hume M and Taru M/F (looks like a martial stance, and both effectively share the same stance. Elvaan look retarded with their arms hanging down, totally open to attack)
                      Animation - Elvaan M (the uppercut) or Galka (the straight left, looks vicious with their giant arms) or Hume M (the kidney punch, vicious)

                      Dagger:
                      Stance - Mithra
                      Animation - Elvaan M (the one straight stab they do when the lean forward looks brutal)

                      Dual-Wield / Katana:
                      Stance - Galka or Mithra (I like the one arm in front with weapon held defensively, and one arm to side with weapon held ready to strike stance. Elvaan again look retarded with both weapons held behind them, totally open to attack)
                      Animation - Depends on the weapon.

                      Great Katana:
                      Stance - Hume M (alot of people like Elvaan M, and while its cool, the fact that they hold it right at their crotch just looks ... )
                      Animation - Galka (one handed side swipe, anyone?) or Elvaan M (when they bring it down hard and low)

                      Bow:
                      Stance - Elvaan M (ghetto-style firing is too cool)
                      Animation - Elvaan M (see above)

                      Gun/Crossbow:
                      Stance - Elvaan M (one handed bust-a-cap in yo' ass!)
                      Animation - Elvaan M (see above)
                      I agree with you, but after reading that I noticed that the Elvaan animations do all share the open to attacks thing, I think it shows they are unafriad of any foe? Open to attack seems to just intimidate the monster I guess...just a guess to the story behind their animations

                        Elvaan M look like they are extremely lazy while fighting (or like they'd rather be doing something else). They don't even hold their weapons at ready.

                        Hume M look like they are performing an instructional video. You can't even tell that they are actually making contact with something.

                        I like almost all Galka animation. Their archery is cool.

                        Elvaan M have the best ranged attack animation.

                            Mithra are the only ones who actually look like they're fighting.

                            Everyone else looks like they're trying to act very gallant for a portrait pose.

                              I love my Elvaan females, but good lord, they can NOT wield a single weapon with any sort of grace. After seeing that, I think I understand why Elvaan have such low DEX. @_@

                              I like my Elvaan male for a few things (Great Katana, Katana, Polearm, Scythe), but they have a few stances that are pretty annoying. It looks like they're not even trying with H2H or a 1H sword. ><
