Is it normal that the shield bracers don't align with the block animations?

Tried every "shield" bracer I own, and it seems they're all just affixed to the side of the arm - it looks like the bone that the bracers are attached to don't rotate as the animation would imply or something.

    I concur

    Yeah unfortunately the block animations, such as Parry and Retaliation, are rigged this way that expose the wrong side of Arm making the Shields look awkwardly

    If only the DEVs could re-rigg those block to make it more Shield friendly

    There is a Shield animation in the game, but it's used exclusively by NPCs (Friendly Policemen and Prison Guards in Devil's head Mesa) and the Sidekick Golden Sun

    Interesting thing, the Agent Mechaforce ALSO use the shield animation, HOWEVER they spawn an actual Mechassassin shield while blocking, which cross-stack with their existing bracer

    It would be nice to have a block stance that would work with all shield costume pieces.​​

    In fact after this thread, I made suggestion about this to become a Munition Block
    Animation already exists ingame, used by NPCs (and the Golden Sun Sidekick) and has multiple frames including shield bash and thrust
