I really don't think that SE want's to make an entire set of separate attack animations for every skill for every class that has stance changes, which at this point is a solid chunk of them. You have the WM and GB obviously, but since you included Darkside in there, you also have to include Grit, as it's also a stance change. Then there's the other tank classes, Cleric Stance, Dreadwyrm Trance, the actual different "stances" you use with MNK attacks, ect. If they do something like that for just a couple of classes, then they have to do it for all of them or people will get up in arms. And of course there will be people who don't like the new stances in comparison to the old ones and will get up in arms about it, such as people complaining about Gauss Barrel's animations, while as a MCH main, I feel they perfectly fit the "Magitek" aspect of the class as it's essentially a "using the gun as a wand to power it up" type stance......
