Did they ever address the Medica 3 issue where you snap to the floor halfway through the animation (as you transition from 'casting' to 'the actual spell animation')?

Also shoutout to the Chaotic Spring/Heavens' Thrust animations on DRG, they look absolutely ridiculous. Drakesbane is okay though

I was also thinking about Dragoon's weird animations. For the longest time, Disembowel seemed so slow and goofy. I had to look up a video to make sure I knew what animations were associated with which actions cause I don't play Dragoon, but it looks like they updated Disembowel to not look so goofy? It didn't seem as slow and awkward in the video I found. Though turning your back to do a through-the-armpit stab is still such a strange way to use a spear and not a very effective way to disembowel anyone. But one action that looks absolutely pitiful particularly because of the particle effects is Coerthan Torment. There's like a dozen slash effects that emminate from you, but you only swing your spear twice. Also the two swings you take make no sense for a piercing weapon: a headsplitter and a spear uppercut. Do dragoons think they have an axe?

Chaotic Spring is a massive downgrade from Chaos Thrust and Heavens' Thrust looks kind of goofy but Drakesbane is easily one of the worst animations in the entire game. I'm astonished how that one made it into the live game.

Personally I think Disembowel is a fantastic animation. It looks cool and really sells the weight and impact of the lance. It was replaced with Spiral Blow which is also good but would be better if they trimmed off the pointless wave to the side at the start IMO.
