Looking through the official gridania alpha video thread, it's pretty clear that the animation is one of the main concerns.

So far I think this is really the only big eye sore in what appears to be an otherwise awesome revamp, and if they want to make a world class game they need their world class animation back. If they can just do this, they are golden for me. I don't want to look at FFXIV and constantly feel like it's sloppy and downgraded.
The Gridania video was also to show off how the area/landscaping looks in the game, and how places are situated. As other people have said, a lot of stuff such as animation is not included in the Alpha but will be in the Beta and final product, so please be patient.
