Realm Reborn = downgrade?

[KiriA500]

so what im getting from this is that you possibly like the animations but that they very slightly lower your control for the sake of realistic movement?
i have to ask, does it really bother you enough to call it clunky since its stuff that doesnt affect battle, since its out of combat movement and that slight slow out doesnt affect playability much at all, isnt it something that shouldnt be a problem or hinder the game at all?

I'm indifferent to the animations. I frankly only really notice them when I'm trying to stand in a particular place, such as the White Mage spots in Ifrit, Coincounter, etc. It's apparent because I'm trying to nudge forward just a little bit, but my character makes a huge, unnecessary animation for the process.

I like the inertia animations, as they're animated well, but their presence feels sluggish, so I couldn't care less if they were removed. If Square-Enix somehow decides to keep them, whatever, but they still make me have awful control over my character, then it's a problem.
