Death Animations and other types of animations.

Rixuel just posted this video in the shoutbox of a Miriam that dies:



Animation looks straight out of SOTN. I'm sure that will please some people but I think its kind of boring and a meh choice to pretty much copy and paste this. Ah well.

I'm pretty sure that Miriam will end up with a different 'death' animation, too. Probably more related to her crystal curse.

Assuming Zangetsu will be a playable character, I'd say the SotN death animation would suit him more. That, or the one from Portrait of Ruin.

I'm sure with the final product there'll be a lot more diversity with the enemy pool. I mean Dullahammer has a unique animation, and so does Morte. I think there'll be skeleton-esqe enemies that will have similar animations. And don't worry, Inti Creates will come up with some cool crap. I mean that animation when you obtain a new shard is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Even Iga said in the twitch that he "got goosebumps" the first time that he saw the animation. The only thing that I am worried about is the item drop. I hope that the items have their own unique drop images, rather than the generic 'loot bag' that we saw in the demo. :/

I'm not surprised at the same time because the dev team are HUGE SOTN fans, you can see there's a lot of influence here from her animations to some gameplay functions. I absolutely love Alucard's death animation but it goes beyond this as your whole body turns to blood, but i agree they could TAKE that idea and make it more geared towards this. She could twirl and her body breaks apart into pieces of glass shards with blood.
