Not bashing you Nikita, but you know that's ironically been the OP's entire defense for the first 75% of the thread. Basing it off of gameplay footage of a game that isn't complete yet. It's the same premise basing info on a game that hadn't had any information out about till this was posted.

And now a majority of Nemy's post has degenerated too "ARR won't be fun cause of craptastic animations therefor I'm going to comment on every single post that disagrees with me in the slightest and try to prove just how wrong they are."

I'm not going to go out of my way to insult peoples intelligence on this one, but considering how much information tends to be lost in translation, I'm frankly surprised nobody seems to have entertained the idea that maybe Rukkirii was specifically talking about the Gamescon footage and not ARR itself since the focus of the video was purely based on the gameplay, UI, and dynamic lighting and not animations and effects.
