Speaking of animation, my main problem (it's been a big deal to me since beta) is that there're no unique animations between races other than Sprint and the emotes. From what I've seen in clips of 1.0, every race had different battle animations/stances for every class.

I'd love to see that kind of variety in the game. To see everyone have the same stance for a class no matter what race they are is odd to me. Seeing a Roegadyn hop in place as a Pugilist/Monk, for example is pretty off-putting. You'd expect to see them have a sort of bear stance or something.
