Even if the game was perfect, this community, will find a way to be like: " NOW THE GAME FEELS TOO REAL LIFE LIKE, I'M TRYING TO ESCAPE REAL LIFE, AND I HAVE TO PLAY A NEAR REAL LIFE GAME?! ARRGHGHH!" The animations can use improvements sure, but they are good "not great", all I really see that needs to be completed is a very good polishing.

thats what i think so, too.

and besides that we have seen such less video footage so far, that i dont think that people can come to the conclusion of the animations being that poor. because most anmiations seem to stay the same

PLD WS in beginning of the trailer for example.. and the hume walking animation.. the emote animations are 1:1 the exactly same. so how can you call it a downgrade? have you played it at home already secretly?
the casting animations for mages right now for example are just horrible and non existant in the recent version.

This is EXACTLY, why they didn't want to show Gameplay footage.. because of these types of "reaction" to a a Game thats not even in Alpha State yet ~.~. But if they didn't show the gameplay footage, then people will have a hissy fit, that they aren't giving information!

But we know for a fact that they're removing the animations:

While the animations were nice, the development team's number one focus in A Realm Reborn is on gameplay (I have difficulty believing this) so even though they were nice animations, the team made the decision to remove them.

We don't know that they're changing it, keeping it as it is, or adding it for the release, but unfortunately no one has told us the plans so the discussion is still up in the air.

This excuse works for FFXIV 1.0 where they were still developing XI (WoTG+Ayssea content in 2007-2009) while building FFXIV at the same time, this however does not work for ARR which they can build off of FFXIV 1.0 even if they rebuild systems from the ground up, they still have the framework to work with.
