Above sprites are Metroid quests sprites from eternal crystals slightly modified for better walking movement but need some work, trying to keep to original kain and Cecil but not too good at it lol any help or advice appreciated.

Here’s kain with more original animation and single leg side view like ff4
Here’s my last attempt at kain with straight arms pose, think it looks good, hopefully a spriter sees this and tells me how it is.

Changed arms on standing pose, raised arms and magic cast pose, also walking poses
Just compare to Metroid quests sprite as this was one I used
Just asking, what was wrong with the old sprite sheets from the database? Well, not so much "wrong", but what didn't fit your taste?
I wanted to give him a good walking animation because he walks with arms up on metroid quests kain sprite but his Cecil only had one hand up and had a semi normal walking animation, but I also wanted to keep the look of the ff4 kain sprite. Hope this makes sense.
Kain does walk with his arms up, never noticed that... A suggestion, the facing left head down sprite has his arms down. That's about half your walking sprite right there and wouldn't be impossible to adjust a bit to make the rest look competent.
As for Cecil, I see... I'd try merging some arms/legs from Edgar, for a base, then make them fit the palette.
All that being said, I'm not enough of a sprite artist to really offer any good suggestions, maybe just something to chew on.
Good luck.
