This is an interesting observation, altho I am terrified of the idea that the ARPG virus is infecting MMORPG's even more, one of the last strongholds of more classic gameplay.
1.0 Animations were lovely! The grounding that the run / walk animation provided was substantial, took many years before I was not constantly thinking of it when running around FFXIV 2.0. Didn't like the animation lock so much but I thought they were going to attempt to do animation blending, they did.. just not to the level I was dreaming lol.

ARPG VIRUS, ARPG VIRUS, HUZZAH!! lol but jk.. I think there is room for both, this is one of the primary reasons in my post you quoted to preserving FFXIV (and that means continuing it as well). Take over all the live service genres .
