Agreed. The jumping is distracting, and he's so big too it really grabs your eye. It's the main reason I started my Moogle model. Everyone elses idle animation is very controlled and smooth, small movements. He's jumping around like a frickin bucking bronco, this isn't bull riding! New battle animations would be great.
I guess we will got a new battle animation...
Your model was actually the reason why I have started this. First I only want to see how he looks with angry eyes and a nose - just for fun -, but then I saw the outstanding upper arm... Well one thing came to another and I have made new looking model out of this blob.
Anyway I believe you could remove Cait Sith from your model entirely and have only the Moogle as companion. To see Cait Sith on the little Moogle reminds me on the mean Ragnarok on Crona's back from Soul Eater...
If make new weapons for him (I guess gloves would be perfect), he would be very good replacement for our 'bull rider'. And Moogles were companion's in the FF games before. So it would bring back some Final Fantasy spirit to an actually non-Final-Fantasy-like game.
