I wouldn't hold my breath since they downgraded characters' walk/run/stop animations in general, on purpose, for no sensible reason, when working on 2.0.
The animations aren't even missing from the game since you can see the momentum is still there in cutscenes dating as far as the first few at the start of ARR.

IIRC the only time they tweaked animation for the better was when they changed some of the Lalafel animation... Which of course, is the most popular race among JP players.
