I've mentioned this before on the other thread, but I'll say it again:

The reason I, personally, would like to see the animations we have in 1.0 is because it gives our characters a sense of weight, realism, and personality.

Why would SE go through all the effort to do motion-capture if it's all going to be dumbed down because people prefer a more "WoW-like" experience? Why? WHY?

No, this has nothing to do with "letting go of the old and accepting the new." It's not about being in denial or refusing to change, it has to do with the fact that SE put a lot of hard work into their game. It's what makes it unique in its own way and it shouldn't feel pressured by trying to "fit in."

Do not confuse my argument with something like that I do not want FFXIV to learn from others, I'm just pointing out ONE thing that bothers me.

So I hope that what we saw at Gamescom was nothing more than an pre-alpha/alpha and that it was just missing some animations and we'll get to see them in 2.0.
