Graphical upgrade is great and all that. But... Gameplay ? Animations ? It's Linked.

You're eating food and drinking a potion in combat, of course it will take time to do. It shouldn't be instant.

It taking time is fine, it being so ping dependant is not. Animation lock in this game is very strange where it's both client side and then again server side, leading to situations where you cant play MCH on on anything but low ping without heavily clipping and drifting. Yet that's something SE refuses to even acknowledge. Of course less of a problem in a country like japan with mostly great internet connection infrastructure but the world is larger than that of course.

I don't think I ever experienced any problem but I don't drink tinctures or whatever in the middle of combat, just the initial food buff at the beginning if it has ran out. I don't see a purpose to food buffs in the middle of a fight since the party is either familiar with the fight or they're not. I do use echo drops and other potions though and I never had issues. The game ping is steady at 68/69 and never 70 or above. I'm not saying what you're experiencing doesn't exist, I have played BDO and animation lock is part of what killed that game so I understand how horrible it can be.

I do miss being able to butt drift using animation bugs though.
