Customizing Skill Animations
I believe it would be great to have the option of customizing our character animations, whether they be attacking, using Life skills or even just the idle combat pose. Take example on Archer's fighting style with Gan Jiang and Mo Ye during the Fate/Servants event as opposed to standard dual-wielding.
I personally see it as another tab of the Dressing Room, where one could select from a few animation options for their current equipment set. Moreover, some options would have to be unlocked (for example, reaching Sword Mastery Rank 1 unlocks a unique attacking animation) and others, purchased.
I understand how demanding such a change would be, but I believe it would enhance the idea of a personal "fantasy life" that makes Mabinogi so unique.

If you've read that thread in General, about the Memento update, then the "Battle Dance" skill that came with that update is sort of like what you're proposing.
The skill's appearance/animation can be customized in two ways, the dance animation itself, and a visual effect your character gives off.
You start with a default animation and effect, but can unlock different dances/visual effects through the use of coupons that drop from the new content from Memento.
They don't change the actual effect of the skill, and are just cosmetic differences.
You probably want such a system for more than just a single skill of course, but that's what this thread made me think of.
