Pilfer - Ninja Animation Mod (WORK IN PROGRESS)

A Ninja animation set that leans more toward a Thief aesthetic. This preview features the idle, walk, and run animations. VFX and battle animations will follow in the future!
Main inspirations are:
Zidane Tribal (FF9)
Rikku (FF10)
Locke Cole (FF6)
Follow my Twitter for updates on this. Will be available as a free download when it's done.

Can't wait for this, I always wished Thief and Ninja had been separate classes!

[@Inkyon]

Only just discovered your work and I'm living for it! Going to have to become a NIN main again for Zidane

[@nocticulaa]

Oh, that's awesome! The full version could be what pushes me into finally leveling NIN!

[@jun_on_fire]

Once these movements are done, I'll make it available to download c:
I want to eventually do a full vfx overhaul for Ninja, as well to complete the whole set.
Mudras and Ninjustu will be "Mix" a la Rikku from FFX.
Fuma Shuriken = Grenade
Katon = Heat Blaster
Raiton = Rolling Thunder
Hyoton = Icefall
Huton = Miracle Drink
Doton = Blaster Mine
Suiton = Waterfall
Goka Mekkyaku = Brimstone
Hyosho Ranryu = Black Ice

@@jun_on_fire i'd absolutely love to see a version of these vfx's that's a bit closer to vanilla in terms of animation quality so it fits in with everything else :o i'm SO excited for this you have no idea! i've wanted a version of ninja that's closer to thief for so long!

[@milesIzunia]

as a nin main, who's favorite final fantrasy is 9, this is getting me excited!!

[@TJetPrime]

Basically you can be Zidane? Leggo!

[@scoobydew2216]

Waiting patiently for this one! My character always vibed with the Rogue's guild more than the ninjas, so this would be perfect.

[@BlaxxShadow]

I knew I recognized that battle stance :D can't wait to see more

[@celanawestormwalker9258]

You could literally just release the all the pose and running animations and id be happy. Keep up the good work!

[@bobafett4759]

caant do it, you changed my NARUTO RUUUN!!!!
everything else looks awesome though

[@Mako4491]

I...NEEEEEED IIIIIT!

[@Noelle-M4]

Noooooo......youre gonna make me level NIN.
But realsies, the main reason why I avoid NIN is cus that god awful run they have and stance they have. And the mudras. *shivers*

[@dragumkirisute1998]

The mudras will become second nature when you get use to them, trust me. I thought I'd hate them too when I leveled NIN when it came out in A Realm Reborn. But turns out they aren't that bad.

[@crnixvid]

It's personal preference, but back when I started playing it in HW I put them in the order Jin Chi Ten on my hotbar (Alt+ 1, 2 and 3) so for Huton (speed buff) you just go 123 and for Suiton (debuff on mob) you go 321. Helped a ton getting used to them because 2 of the buffs had been made braindead essentially, you just go forwards or backwards.
Then personally I like 32 for Raiton (the main single target dps skill) and 21 for Hyosho when you have Kassatsu up. 23 for Katon (the aoe).
I've seen people do it other ways and maybe this won't help you but I remember it helped me a ton back then and I still do it like this. I promise the mudras are not as bad as they seem if you just sit down and whack a dummy for a bit. Ninja is fun! Give it a go

[@cosmicneko7225]

what are those pants? i assume nier 2 pants?

[@UnlimitedPlatesWorks]

Was this abandoned?

[@jun_on_fire]

Nope! The pipeline is Eikonic -> Floral Blitz 2.0 -> this -> Agito vfx
