Well, I don't think I was able to improve it that much. I also couldn't figure out how to make his head move (other than having it turn a bit, or something).
Anyway, yeah, Ran's looks much better, but it still doesn't make me think of Marth, but maybe Roy, mainly because I don't really remember Marth ever moving like that. But it still looks better right now.
EDIT: Oh wow, in FE11, he really doesn't turn nearly as much as what I have...
