I'm glad someone compiled all of them already! I noticed the change when I was playing and wanted to see how the others looked! DRK still has to be my favorite though. Just the fact that the sword actually looks like it has weight is leagues better than normal. If only we got these outside of cutscenes... I understand for combat, but honestly, sheathing/unsheathing manually should've let us use the new ones. Oh well-- at least we get to look cool in cutscenes!
@@Gwynbleidd_117 if anything pressing the button to unseath or pull your weps out should do these animations but when it's for combat just be the fast one assuming, its probably different or harder given it's just tied to the same thing that ties to combat but hopefully they can work it out
These new animations are available in the Gold Saucer for 100k MGP each (sheathe and unsheathe). They're named "Forearmed is Well Armed" and "Easily At Ease".
When I first saw this, I thought I imagined it. Then I saw it again, and I lost my mind. Like they're ultimately really small changes, yet they're really sick to see.
i really love these. originally, the animations are really fast, i'm guessing to reduce draw/stow times when entering/exiting battle, so seeing them slowed down and touched on like this is really nice. particularly you can see how some animations pause slightly (BRD, GNB, for example), instead of one smooth motion, which I'm guessing would look really good with certain weapons that expand and contract when drawn, like the scaevan/ironworks stuff.
I did EW as Reaper and noticed Reaper's sheathe/unsheathe felt more extravagant than the usual ones. I didn't realize they updated everyone though. That's so cool.
This, ladies and gentlemen! THIS is the first time I remember an MMORPG doing it. Fixing those hacked down sheathe animations that plagued us players for YEARS. No matter in which one. I love the devs for recognizing such details and making more of it.
I love the Sam one so much. I've done sword work and the Devs have done their research. It's the most realistic thing I've seen in game. It's got the little nuances I was taught about the sword.
The fact that you completed the same, exact duty in the exact, same location, just to get the sheathe animation for ALL classes -- it just blows my mind. Thank you for this! *replays NIN and BRD forever
@@ZeraKonno Well, you can rewatch most cutscenes in your inn, yes. But some particular cutscenes can only be rewatched via New Game+, I can't remember which ones they are tho
I may be biased because my first job was Archer, but that Archer sheath and unsheath was really cool. It really looks like she's swinging the weight of the giant bow around her because it's heavy.
@@raybow8312 well, i mean the bows of our world are quite a bit lighter than the ones in ffxiv, even the english longbow. That dread wyrm bow looks extremely heavy, especially top heavy. And a lot of them seem to be made of some really heavy duty metals.
@@Adamantian9 well, its a game btw, terpander lux probably gonna be one of the heaviest, to be more realistic we need make the bow drop to the ground, have 2 assistants to carry it and still be messy on pull time xD(took demoranch example with the braver)
I didn't think it'd make that much of a difference, but when it got to Black Mage I realized that it looks so good! I had no idea how much of a difference a little more fluidity would make?
I actually got really excited when I first saw the new animation on my DRK. These new animations give me life, the fact that they're slower and have little extra motions in them actually make them feel so much more natural and it makes me happy
I like that you can feel the weight of some of the larger weapons. The Warrior's Axe, and Dragoon's Lance for instance. They have the swing them around their body in order to get them into the right position. I think that's very clever and a nice touch.
I just talked with a friend yesterday and mentioned that I think there are new drawing/ sheathing animations and that that might be my favorite addition, so far. The normal animation works great for gameplay as it's quick and responsive but it looks pretty dumb/ goofy in a cutscene and these new animations help make these cutscenes seem much more natural (and cooler). I love this so much. Also thank you for recording all the footage there. I hope you didn't have to run the dungeon with each class.
I agree with everything you said, the normal ones looks really out of place in cutscenes but is very responsive normal gameplay. I was curious myself of what they all looked like once I saw the Samurai one and realized there wasn't a video so I thought I do it myself. And no I didn't have to run dungeon with each class hehe, I just used the Unending journey journal. :) Thank you for watching!
Ah, that's good. I wasn't sure if you'd get the Duty Completed cutscene from there. I wasn't exactly sure if I just imagined it after seeing the new animation from my Paladin, so I'm glad the video exists, as I can not only see the other ones but also know that they did in fact add new animations. I love how they managed to upgrade the presentation for Endwalker.
As a samurai main, I was very very pleased with how clean my character sheaths and unsheathes his katana. Makes cutscenes more cinematic instead of “poof” now my weapon is out
Sage also has 3 different sheath types, and different weapons use different sheaths. Each of the three types has slightly different animations for how they get in and out of those positions as well. Super cool to see!
Such a pleasant surprise to see these new animations. They look really good when applied to the cutscenes! Feels great sheathing and unsheathing my lance together with Estinien while doing the trust dungeons
I WASNT ALONE INTO THINK THIS THEN my goodness i thought i was overthinking it but they really did improve those in the cutscenes. thank you for compiling this and making me not look senile
Hey! I commented on this video like two months ago, and in that timeframe I beat ARR, HW, SB, SHB, and EW. This video & What I didn’t know at the time is Innocence’s theme got me interested, so thanks for introducing me to my favorite game ever!
Glad the theme got you interested. It is my favorite song in the entire game, it was also the moment in the game I was like "holy shit". So its nice to see someone appreciate this song like me :)
GOD I THOUGHT SOMETHING LOOKED DIFFERENT WHEN I PULLED OUT MY SPEAR I was so focused on the action I'd didn't even notice oh my god They look so nice........
Just the smallest of details and it just makes the game look that much more fluid~ Really liking how it looks on RDM and AST. I actually noticed this when working on the job stories for RPR and SGE. Was like "Wait. That looked smooth af."
Your Viera model is identical to mine, hair style, ear style, ear tip color, hair shade colors, face model, eye shadow I was scrolling past the video and i was like WHY AM I IN A TH-cam VIDEO
I find it funny how all of the physical and ranged DPS and tanks have these spins or florishes to putting away weapons and then machinist is "gun. . .back"
It looks so more fluid and realistic than before, there's not the jumping from hand to back like there used to be. It now looks like you have magnets holding everything in place
I remember in Stormblood, being just a bit envious of Alphinaud with his unsheath animation, taking that extra step to get into a proper battle stance.... whereas my character just plain-jane opens the book. It **should** be threatening when a seasoned mage opens their glowing tome and now it does! It's only a shame this update isn't retroactive.
I noticed during one of the reaper quests "I don't think it usually twirls that much when drawn..." but didn't think more of it, haven't really been in any cutscenes with the old classes yet so this video explains a lot.
SAM main and noticed this immediately, like oh...it wasn't just a single frame of animation slapping my katana into it's sheath. The weapons for the most part feel like they have some weight now.
I noticed Reaper had a much more deliberate sheathing/unsheathing animation in cutscenes and I continually forgot to ask my party members if their classes also got similar treatment, before we all left the dungeons.
It's the little things... God I love how even something this small gets changed for the sake quality. Some of these I wish I had access to outside of the cutscenes
Man these must be details that will definitely be in the next chapter! I love this expac and I loved SHB as well! While it will be sad this one will end like FF11, but like that it will be alright, Yoshi-P will not fail us! He’s a grandmaster of MMORPG now! Well always has been. I’m so excited to see another online game with a new engine, new stories! Possibly new systems! It’s far too early to speculate lol ignore my ranting.. Let’s all just enjoy the glory of this final chapter!
Bruh, for some reason most of the mch weps flow perfectly with it, their special flourish (spinning, lighting up, w/e) corresponds perfectly with the arc of the swing! It's fucking gorgeous. When my mch pulled out their wep and it started its glow right at that arc... so hype!
So I WASNT going crazy seeing that rdm unsheath. I havent played RDM for the story since heavensward so I never got to see his unsheath in cutscenes since then and thought maybe I just remembered it wrong. The fancy animations look great though
They are much more fluid and makes a lot more realistic. When you can obviously tell how much of a change they did, you know it’s done it’s job.
I'm glad someone compiled all of them already! I noticed the change when I was playing and wanted to see how the others looked! DRK still has to be my favorite though.

As a RDM main for EW, I am VERY satisfied with the new animation
Are you satisfied with the NIN animation?
Certain part in story i just feel right maining Rdm
I don't think I'm going to call Endwalker "EW"
The way WoL sets up the focus its just so sastifying to watch
the little spin, mwah
i really love these. originally, the animations are really fast, i'm guessing to reduce draw/stow times when entering/exiting battle, so seeing them slowed down and touched on like this is really nice. particularly you can see how some animations pause slightly (BRD, GNB, for example), instead of one smooth motion, which I'm guessing would look really good with certain weapons that expand and contract when drawn, like the scaevan/ironworks stuff.

@@Ch40T1cX you can
@@Ch40T1cX you can?? That means I can rewatch badass cutscenes that I loved with my character???

And yet it's subtle enough that when playing I didn't even notice
That's a well-made design change
I love the black mage one
I knew I wasn't imagining it when my DRG do the cheeky twirling animations in cutscenes, wish that's our default animations in game as well.
I actually got really excited when I first saw the new animation on my DRK. These new animations give me life, the fact that they're slower and have little extra motions in them actually make them feel so much more natural and it makes me happy
Now if only we had them when we sheathe and unsheathe in gameplay :P
we dont?
@@hentainin87 Unfortunately we don't, as soon as I finished that cutscene I had to try it out and I was sad to see we don't. :c
@@cerisedaemon Probably because as smooth as they are, they're also slower
Itd be a cool emote.
@@kou7191 It's an animation so anything would cancel it if they decided to add them, they could even maintain the smooth animation durinh movement.

I can't believe how something so small can be so satisfying to see.
I really appreciated this updated, they don't really had to, but they did!
oh my god Samurai actually put the tip at the entrance to the sheathe and guide the sword in.
REVOLUTIONARY.
As a samurai main, I was very very pleased with how clean my character sheaths and unsheathes his katana. Makes cutscenes more cinematic instead of “poof” now my weapon is out
Little details like this just shows how much they actually care. I love it.
Sage also has 3 different sheath types, and different weapons use different sheaths. Each of the three types has slightly different animations for how they get in and out of those positions as well. Super cool to see!
As a RDM main I noticed it almost immediately, I was like 'Wow, is it just me or was that unsheath really smooth and longer?' and I love it
I've only noticed the change during cutscenes... During gameplay it seems to still be the old animation...
Ty for reducing spoilers on this, I haven't started the msq yet because I'm still leveling Reaper so I really appreciate this.
Such a pleasant surprise to see these new animations. They look really good when applied to the cutscenes! Feels great sheathing and unsheathing my lance together with Estinien while doing the trust dungeons
Now if only we could get these on our actual characters instead of cutscene only.
Yeah, make it an emote
I had not noticed this until someone pointed it out in a dungeon. Now that I see this, I absolutely love they made this nice little touch :)
so glad i wasnt the only one who noticed this
Loved that each class sheaths and unsheathes their weapons differently. It adds a bit of personality to the class used
Now we just need these in the actual outside cinematic sheathe and unsheathe
(This is all just an excuse for them showing off with their weapon glam xD)
Kidding aside, the animations look so much smoother.
As a Ninja main.. I cannot be more happy, it looks so dope
agreed… i’m considering trying out ninja now!
I WASNT ALONE INTO THINK THIS THEN
my goodness i thought i was overthinking it but they really did improve those in the cutscenes.
thank you for compiling this and making me not look senile
Blue Mage also got new animations, curiously enough, despite being too low to take part in Endwalker yet.
Omg, it's the small details! Had I not seen this, it probably would've taken me months to notice! This is so awesome!
My top 3 animations are definitely Sam, Gnb, and Rpr. U can really feel the way they flourish the weapons.
That piano riff is the best! Never gets old.
That astrologian unsheath is just 😘👌
That behind the back on the card draw had me spazing
I just saw someone do this in limsa and now I am trying to find out how they did it
Hey, let's Lyse! Nice to see her again.
Ohhhh I love how Gunbreaker hefts the gunblade onto their back and it looks like there is some actual weight behind it.

god i love these, i just wish they existed outside of cutscenes when you actually do it ingame D:
I noticed the changes immediately . I was like woah, thats new. Maybe not needed but very much appreciated.
I've been playing Reaper since Early Access began so I didn't ever realize there were new animations.
As a Monk main, I may be biased, but I love that cool arm-spinning kata into stance.
I actually was gonna comment on the last video to say could you do a video of all the jobs but assume that would be too much.. thank you for this💗💗💗
GOD I THOUGHT SOMETHING LOOKED DIFFERENT WHEN I PULLED OUT MY SPEAR I was so focused on the action I'd didn't even notice oh my god
They look so nice........
When i thought someone will do this new sheathe - unsheathe video, i didn't expect it to be right now. Thank you so much!
Shame it's only in cutscenes, would be nice to have them if we draw while standing still in gameplay. It is a very nice detail though!
Right I got mad cuz I thought I could do it anytime and...nah
i don't particularly like dnc or ast changes but i'm loving rdm and pld reaching for their separate pieces, looks so good.
kinda wish they added these as the regular unsheathing animation, but I'm so damn happy they did this. Feels so much more natural in cutscenes now.
BLU also has new sheathe / unsheathe
This change is minor but looks so much better and smoother then before
NIN looks insanely good
as a samurai main I was VERY happy to see the new animations.
It's going to be weird not seeing the instant mechanical *snap* of before, but this is good
All your glams are on point too!
Just the smallest of details and it just makes the game look that much more fluid~
Really liking how it looks on RDM and AST.
I actually noticed this when working on the job stories for RPR and SGE. Was like "Wait. That looked smooth af."
I knew that this looked different in the cutscenes but wasn't really sure about.
Looks way better than before. Much more natural and fluid.
Very cool video, and the small details are the differences in good game design and great game design.
They're adding this as an emote in 6.1!!!
That’s one way to flex all your ultimate weapons
I noticed my WAR was a lot more smooth in putting his axe away. Love that they updated these.
Your Viera model is identical to mine, hair style, ear style, ear tip color, hair shade colors, face model, eye shadow
I was scrolling past the video and i was like WHY AM I IN A TH-cam VIDEO
Thank you for highlighting this. It's a very minor change so I didn't notice it, but it's a very nice change nevertheless
I find it funny how all of the physical and ranged DPS and tanks have these spins or florishes to putting away weapons and then machinist is "gun. . .back"
I noticed the same thing! It looks so much more natural now!
I think they will implement it outside these scenes at some point. It leads me to believe it's a stepping stone for 7.0's likely engine upgrade.
It looks so more fluid and realistic than before, there's not the jumping from hand to back like there used to be. It now looks like you have magnets holding everything in place
you are showcasing with ultimate weapons, thats why the animation looks nice
Finally bard sheath and unsheath looks accurate I hate it how it looks on the previous patch
When running through the first time and I noticed it on my MCH I was like "Wait...He did a sway when drawing his weapon!" I thought that was so cool.
This change also proves what most people speculated, but was difficult to pinpoint, that DRG is left-handed like most in the series.
I didn't even notice this until I got this video recommended to me. Loving the differences though
I remember in Stormblood, being just a bit envious of Alphinaud with his unsheath animation, taking that extra step to get into a proper battle stance.... whereas my character just plain-jane opens the book.

I think the new Ninja sheath animation with it being so snappy is my favorite.
I main samurai, so when I saw the victory screen at Zot, I was very stoked!
Many of these are simply the current animations for sheathing/unsheathing but slowed down.
SAM main and noticed this immediately, like oh...it wasn't just a single frame of animation slapping my katana into it's sheath. The weapons for the most part feel like they have some weight now.
I noticed Reaper had a much more deliberate sheathing/unsheathing animation in cutscenes and I continually forgot to ask my party members if their classes also got similar treatment, before we all left the dungeons.
think they removed these, or hidden them in some setting. I noticed them also but then now I don't see em anymore
Wonder when they're actually adding them outside cutscenes, though.
Man I want to be able to swap to these animations for gameplay too.
Maybe make them only play if players sheath/unsheath while standing still?
That was a pleasant surprise the first time I saw it. What? My big sword have some weight now? Cool!
i like how if you have the weaponless fist for monk its like he's pulling out something? "whats this?? its deez hands!!"
I actually didn't notice until the Garlamald scenes, it actually kinda shocking but a nice little touch they added
It's the little things... God I love how even something this small gets changed for the sake quality. Some of these I wish I had access to outside of the cutscenes

love the subtle(?) "triple legend btw"

What about the turn around pose the wol did in the cgi trailer is that am emote?
There very first time I put my spear behind me in that first dungeon, I realized it was a new animation and was hyyyype.
The first time my character did it as a samurai I lost it. Such a small yet impactful change
I use Armageddon on my mch glam (not the tea version but maybe one day) and the spinning barrel times so great with the draw animation
Bruh, for some reason most of the mch weps flow perfectly with it, their special flourish (spinning, lighting up, w/e) corresponds perfectly with the arc of the swing! It's fucking gorgeous. When my mch pulled out their wep and it started its glow right at that arc... so hype!
So I WASNT going crazy seeing that rdm unsheath. I havent played RDM for the story since heavensward so I never got to see his unsheath in cutscenes since then and thought maybe I just remembered it wrong. The fancy animations look great though
