Do you assume this from the video, or did they stated it as a fact of 2.0?

If so, can you link?

Because if that's the case FFXIV will end up feeling like just another generic mmo, and yeah you're right, a discussion about this is really needed.

I agree with OP. The animations where a stellar part of the game and it would be a shame to let them go.
Also, you guys really need to stop brushing off genuine concern on the games development as 'trolling' or 'non-issues'. It's way too defensive to Square, and can come off as fanatic.

regarding the grass, yes i actually kind of agree with it being weird :X but i never really compel to reply because too many people arguing for the sake of arguing... also, that i understood is still pre-alpha. Thus may change, but what i do hope is that the Dev would see it and maybe to consider it or something just like the thread i made about "ARR's camera handling".

I just here to make sure is aware and find others opinions on it and hope not to get replied that is almost similar to "NO, GTFO!" replies.... .

same goes to this topic, i just replied with my honest thought. I will troll the tread depending on how the OP/TS open's his/her thread like.

More overall, this is just minor thing, but to a Final Fantasy user, such as me since FFI-FFXIV, the ever changing and their mind set of making sure highest graphic quality animation is maintain, i do hope so that FFXIV's animation will be much better in A Realm Reborn.

This is "my" little concern. Deep down in me hope this is aware by the Devs, just awareness, they do it or not, is not my decision. It's their game.

OH LOOK.

It's THIS reply again.

I don't know about you guys, but the only reason I chose to play Final Fantasy XIV was because of the grass and movement animations.

I'm totally quitting 2.0 lul srsly.

*rolls eyes*

Implying animation is not a huge part of a game, especially in games where you watch a character run the majority of the time.

Implying animation was not one of the main things that made XIV stand out. (at least atmosphere-wise)

Plugging your ears and ignoring everyone who doesn't agree with you doesn't constitute as a "discussion."

Pretty sure it's intentional. Current animations are pleasant to look at, yes, but they don't allow quick maneuvers like strafing, which are necessary for PvP encounters. I assume this is the reason they've decided to make animations more WoW-like.
