Do Humans walk on thier knuckles or swing from the trees ? -no (not normaly anyway) so why would any Homin exhibit such overt traits from their primitive ancestors ? , slight differences maybe but realy that wouldnt even be worth the trouble coding imo.

Id much rather see slight Stat base changes or movement speed changes (depending on terrain/race) to give racial differences as I and many others have suggested before , for movement something like :-

Zorai : Run/Walk fast in Jungle and Forest (being a less harsh form of Jungle) but Swim slow
Matis : Run/Walk fast in Forest and are also good (fast) Swimmers
Fyros : Run/Walk fast in Desert and Lakelands (beach terrain being similar to Desert) but Swim slow
Tryker : Run/Walk fast in Lakelands and are also good (fast) Swimmers

The difference between Fast/Normal/Slow should be noticable but not overwhelming maybe on the order of 5%-10%

..anyway back to the animes , the sits were ok but id rather see them available as emotes to each race , theres also alot of other actions that are lacking animes so why pick on something that doesnt need it ?

Bit of a massive presumption here...

Why do you think that homins have evolved to the same extent as a human? There could be some kinda lore that the devs have planned that could subtley tie in with that certain emote (and i know thats really unlikely, but its just to illustrate my point)

As a side note, I do know quite a fiew people with the same general body-types as the homin, and they did move like the new animations. Granted not as exaderated as some of them, and no-one like the Tryker male, but still, the first time I saw the Zorai Male run, I said to myself "Hey, that looks kinda like Jr.", a guy I know who is 6'+, and definatly built like a Zorai. The Fyros male, I'm afraid to say, walks with my same gait, too (posture problems, I know, but laborers tend to have that anyway)

All races look more attractive with the older animations, IMO.

I *think* that is because they look more human in the new animations.

Really? I was thinking the opposite. The older ones are sexy, and the newer ones make me feel like I'm watching Walking with Cavemen on the Discovery channel.

And whats wrong with that ?

Obviously nothing for "The Golden Race" , maybe one day the Matis will get the sticky end of the stick ?

(ewwww Matis envy lol)

Hmmm maybe if those feathered creatures in one of the Dev shots turn out to be the thought extinct Momo's and you start walking around like a chicken youl think differently
