Lack of animations not addressed in live letter

[Rhomagus]

No, they dont talk about adding more animations at all. The only animation talk is:
1. The coeurl animation is not finished
2. The hair animations are not finished.

Please find a valid and official source before making people think something that could be very well incorrect.

I am fine with people complaining asking them to sort it, but to say its going to be sorted and to not worry, this is very misleading as it could very well not change (as stated by previous dev post, its intentional the animations are how they are).

The following is from the recent complaint about the constant squat animations for buffs.

The team will be implementing more (and flashier!) animations to better fit the action they're performing so the current "squat" animation when using actions will be removed. For example, the team are thinking about making Featherfoot have a unique animation centered on the characters feet. We hope you guys are excited to see the new animations!

To reiterate the following point made by Vilon

Please provide a source for "movement animations are not included in alpha but will be in beta and final product". Because the only dev post I can find states they were removed intentionally.

Vilon is referring to this..

While the animations were nice, the development team's number one focus in A Realm Reborn is on gameplay so even though they were nice animations, the team made the decision to remove them.

Furthermore from the Letter from the Producer Live Part IV Q+A:

Q3: Will my characters chest be bouncy?

A3: If you are an expert in this area, you will most likely understand, but they will ... *boing* *boing*

As of time of this post it seems as if the transitional animations have been replaced for more combat oriented animations. The addition of boob physics seems superfluous to some players. Since Rukkirii mentioned that the animations were removed because they didn't add to gameplay some players are upset at the inclusion of boob physics as they aren't seen as crucial to gameplay.
