Considering XIV 1.0 did it before GW2, I doubt that would be the case. Parametric animation and blending have been around for a while and most games these days use them without issue, including online multiplayer action games like Team Fortress 2. They got rid of it because the system was attached with the lag on the skill and weapon use. It can still be introduced under a new system.
