The biggest challenge to adding new animations is the sheer number of animations they have to make for each job and racial combo. Say we want to have one unique animation added per job, that means that there will be a need to create around 284 new animations due to all of the racial and gender combinations. Each animator can create one new animation per day, so you are looking at around 2,272 labor hours per animation request.

As you can see, that costs a lot and takes a long time to make. I would love to see more animations as well, but we also have to ask ourselves, at what cost? What do we want to give up to get the new animations? XIV's budget is not increasing, if anything, it's being reduced as a part of the efficiency work in the company.
