I'm on ps3 and I have no issues with 'sliding' or stiff movements everything is so fluid and awesome, now other PC's do the 'claymation' movement as mentioned above, but it might me due to me turning off effects and such for PC's not in my party, if they are in my party for dungeons or fate grinds, they move as fluid as I do. All in all I love the animations, especially they new monk animations I freaking love how pug/monk fight now, no more overhead right hook for all my moves lol, he actually does martial arts this time around, simply beautiful
