I can’t ignore this anymore! Something should be done about it!

Although I personally find all this a bit silly, I did what I could to help: I reposted this in the Japanese forum for you. Hopefully the Japanese players will lend their voice to yours.

Looks to me and Google Translate like the general consensus in the JP community so far matches ours, which is to say they also preferred the shape of the 1.0 models.

I also saw someone disappointed that Miqo'te tails aren't as animated as they used to be, which is something that I remember people mention during beta. The dev excuse was, predictably, limited PS3 memory.

But that's beside the point (literally).

They were more animated in even XI as well, they didn't sway "naturally" but XI was a generation 1 PS2 game. A lot of animation and graphic changes were for the battle system more than "PS3 limitations" since people complained left and right about animation lock, so naturally to combat that they basically gutted the graphics.
