Guys, maybe you won't agree with me, but how about they stop focusing on what they're doing regarding the game and focus more on the effects of the attacks gradually? That way, the game might seem more alive and attract more players.

A massive amount of the playerbase plays without move animations on.
It simply takes more time during the battle.
It may be cool for a certain part of the community or during the story but afterwards I'd assume that a majority of the players doesn't really care about it.

Also there are different teams within staff for each part of the game. They don't need to stop anything just to add more move animations.

It's personals preferences,i activate animations for PvP games all the time,it makes them more immersive,i deactivate them for Dungeons Runs because obviously we want to finish as fast as we can,animations are added short-by-short and Shadow Pokes deserve to have their glow-aura in battles too because it's a part of their identity,including BabyXD001 imo.
