It REALLY bugs me, and you can see it in FFXIV: ARR in their presentation video as well. That really saddens me. A lot.
How can you not be frustrated with the current version as well? Foot placement is not only NOT synchronized with the ground, half the time your charcter will be floating off the ground altogether! Are there any online games at all that use a system like this:

The animations are actually modifed in real time to keep the character's feet exactly on the surface of the ground, no matter if it is sloped, or if the character's speed and direction is changing. This technology is over 4 years old already...
