Has Anyone Noticed?

They changed the original horse running animations.

Flame Mares, Thoroughbreds, Haflingers and Shires gallop more realistically now and the pose of the rider is more uhm, elegant. The rider pose for the Flame Mare is the same as the old one though.

It's frickin' sexy.

[Crimmy]

Added vid to OP.

[Splatulated]

k now any vids of the old galloping animation (just find some old video of people on horses?)

[Crimmy]

Can't you do that yourself?

In case it's not noticeable enough. Here's what's changed.
- Horse "bounces" when running like real horses do.
- The rider's "bounces" are more accurately timed with the horse's.
- The horse's neck is more curved like a real horse's.
- The rider is more situated vertically instead of lazily slumped over the horse like before.

"Mabinogi horse"

Just have a vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HheJYxjb1DU).

I did notice that it looked a little different, but I just assumed that I was imagining it o: Does look nice though.

[hamlet]

Lmao and here I thought I was the only one that didn't notice last night.

[Schezo]

When I was galloping to Tir on horse, I thought I was tripping.

Guess it's not just me! Also, if you think about it on the Flame Mares, you're assuming a Horse Rider's posture because they CAN AND WILL speed boost and you might be caught by surprise if you were to sit upright.

[Crimmy]

Yeah the Flame Mare posture makes sense even if it's not entirely realistic. I think they changed it slightly as well. The bouncing seems to be more accurate to me but my eyes may just be fooling me.

This change is pretty minor but I used to ride horses before I moved so I liek it alawt. I figured not many people had noticed since they're too busy riding on their dragons. XD;

[Murasaki]

Wow, that looks a lot smoother than what I remember. Remembering the old one, it makes me think of how funny the sort of "tipping" motion of the horses was.

[Cynic]

And here I thought I was just seeing things, lmao. I love this new animation.

[Cho]

I find the old motion of horses was hilarious...Especially when you hit an ice mine and then desummoned pet, only to resummon again and find that motion be odd. >>

[Xemnas]

I use my dragon 90% of the time so I didn't notice, neat.
