Character animations

[Jocko]

of course it is, they meant to remove animation lock. Well, they removed by a huge chuck.
Also, again with this back pedaling ? It's already in the game. If you use target lock and move backward, character back pedal

In that instance, yes, and it's appropriate and well animated. In ARR, it's the default backwards movement, and it looks awkward since you move at the same speed as moving forward
