I agree, the FFXIV 1.0 animations were so far superior. It's like comparing a 2 yr olds drawing to a famous artists. The fact Yoshi said they wouldn't be doing anything about this, removing all of these great animation features, but then implementing ones which didn't exist, just doesn't make sense to me.

The fact your mouth moves when you type is a fascinating feature. The fact you can put the visor up and down on your helmet now is also one. The weather effects are marvelous on your characters.. So why remove all of the amazing animations from 1.0? Makes absolutely no sense...
