Body language is an important aspect of communication as it is one of the ways which a person can convey their thoughts and feelings without saying a word. When the Final Fantasy games made the switch from pixels to CG, there had been a progressive change in a character's body movement. For instance, in Final Fantasy VII, the action of running differs between characters. Taking into account Cloud who has a stock straight back character running action and comparing it to that of Cid Highwind who runs while leaning backwards and Vincent Valentine who runs while leaning forward. When it came to poses, most characters share the same set of poses. However, a few characters had their own unique poses such as Rufus Shinra's constant slicking back of his hair and Hojo's hunched back snickering. In Final Fantasy XII, one can visibly see the evolution of body movement and language in the Final Fantasy series. To fit the mood and setting, the actions are seen to be more natural and human like. In this game, most characters of importance have their own body language that reflects who they are depending on their background and race. In the case of Basch, the most notable poses would be the way he holds weapons.
