Player Animation Repositories Collection
First things first, this is NOT a mod, but rather a resource for modders with the knowledge to use it for their own mods.
A repository of animations from various characters across the Souls series retargeted onto the player for modders to use in their own mods. As stated in the overview, this is not a mod, but merely a collection of hkx animation files, so adding it to your mods folder will do nothing.
Thanks to f wang for packing everything (that has been released up to 4/6/2023) into one anibnd!

Nioh 2 Fist Animations (HUGE thanks to The Witness for providing the animations and naming the files, along with Angel Dasha for providing files that packs them all in one TAE)
This list will be updated whenever I add a new repository to this page. While not every single animation is included, I will at the very least try to include all of the animations for any given character’s walking/running cycle, Idles, attacks, dodges, and grab attacks.
The names of each file correspond to their respective source animation in any given character’s anibnd file, so look there in DSAnimStudio for clarification on what each animation refers to.
c2130 Disclaimer: A lot of Morgott’s animations look… awkward on the player. However there’s nothing that technically stopped me from making the Morgott repository, and there also are a good portion of animations that work quite well, at least in my opinion. So I’ll leave it up to you to decide which animations are worth using.
c4720 Disclaimer: Unlike most enemies, Godfrey is left-handed, and therefore attempting to use his animations on a right hand weapon will simply not work. To fix this, in DS Anim Studio we’ll need to use an event called “WeaponModelOverrideLocation”, which will allow us to override our right hand weapon to the left-handed location. For those who do not wish to do this I’ll be adding mirrored versions of the animations to the Godfrey file soon.
