Is this really going on right now? I've been playing this game enough to know that these "Animation" gave a lack of control over your character, it was a huuuuuuuuuuge issue and it was talked about multiple times, this is why these animations were removed.
If they can bring back those animations without loosing character control than that's fine, if not, deal with it.

The FF community is so inconsistent, first they ask for things like these to be removed and now they want them back...
