Big Smoke Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 ...that Zephiel has different/unique animations? They mostly involve little sword twirls and flashier attacks. I love it, as I've always hated the stock knight animations, they just look so flexible and odd. I'd throw up a video but I have no way to get one... Guess that means you'll have to use him yourself! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yeah, he does random flourishes here and there, kinda like his actual attack animation in Binding Blade. It's a pretty neat touch. I hope they add more detail to the sprites like this; stuff like Alm having a unique left-handed sprite made me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't pulled him yet (and I want to) so I haven't noticed. I too hope they continue this, and maybe even go back and make changes to other sprites. I'll be amazed if when they add Ike they give him his Aether animation, that would be awesome to see. And if I'm not mistaken, Karel's animation are slightly different as well.

Falcom Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yup I noticed. Rey actually showcased Zephiel and I noticed it was different by then.Here's the video in case you were wondering. It's actually a really nice touch like Alm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshimos Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Zephiel is also the only character that I've come across whose skill activation attack art is completely different from his regular attack art instead of just having some flashy magic edited on top of it and having his mouth open up.

Isn't that the same for everyone by the same artist? I remember people mentioning different art for regular and special attacks with Ogma, Jagen and Gunther.

I've only noticed Gunter's being different, but then again I don't use Ogma or Jagen. I like that that artist does something different. His/her art always sticks out because it's different, AKIRA's too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All characters drawn by Yamada Akihiro have that. Rebecca does, too. 2 hours ago, Oshimos said: just having some flashy magic edited on top of it If you look closely, most of them also have changes to lighting and shadows due to the flashy effects.

pianime94 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I sure hope Ike does his iconic Aether animation when he procs Aether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was overjoyed when I first saw Zephiel's custom flair. He's pretty close to being one of my favourite units because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
