I honestly have no idea what you're on about. I was recently talking to a buddy at work about how impressed I was with how my YoRHa dress responds to my movements while playing DNC. Granted, I played FF games when they were 8-bit, and picked up FFXIV after being away from gaming for two generations of consoles. I suppose my standards are just much lower than newer gamers.

What should be clear though, is that they strive to make improvements to many of the game's features. I can't offer any assurances that they have updates to the combat system and animations in mind, especially when right now they are more concerned with the game's overall aesthetic. That being said, animations would likely be the next thing that does get some attention. The combat system is something else entirely. They've basically set their feet on the design changes that came with ShB, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
