Yes, we all know 1.0 was crap-tier at launch. That doesn't excuse the degradation in animation quality though. So yes, in terms of animation, so far, I do prefer 1.0.

The issues of gameplay and copypasta world have already been dealt with to some degree and are separate issues. Until they come out and say "we had to sacrifice the animation for the gameplay and the world" then I don't know why you'd draw a relationship between them as an excuse.

Just because I complain about the animation doesn't mean I don't care about the copypasta world or what have you. Complaining about something in 2.0 doesn't inherently mean that I prefer 1.0 overall.

Uhh they have said it i'm sure of it and its not only bcuz of that not having those tiny sluggish animations will allow more ppl to enjoy this game with us using less powerful PCs , it will allow 200 characters and 2000 monsters on screen and many more reason.. BIG reasons to get rid of the clunky old system.
Is hilarious how some say "you can't just stop when running you'll fall over" ..we aren't running for the gold medal in game you just trot

The only thing they really said was they had to get rid of the old animation for vague indirect reason. It could be a simple mater of the old animations being incompatable with the new system. It could be that the morph shapes used for thansition had a lock error. We don't really know, they never said.

What I do know is, the lack of momentum is pretty jarring after seeing it for so long. Even a light jog dosn't end abruptly. It never hurt the game for me before, but I have no idea if it needs to be removed entierly or if it can be replaced. No one but the dev team does and they're not sharing that info with us. But as it's cause for concern with some of us expecting a Square quality game, I don't think is should be left to chance.
