Hissatsu: Kaiten

Thanks for the link. Reading through the SAM section, it looks as though the Japanese are mostly receptive to this skill being removed with some, of course, against it.

They seem more focused on the actual performance of the job, specifically regarding groups and synergy with other jobs. Seems like they regard this as mostly a cosmetic change that does not impact gameplay, though some would like to see the animation applied to something else.

This is false. It is extremely divisive and many question why it was removed. It may have been true when that thread was created, but is no longer the case.
