Since we'll probably know more of it later in the month during Fanfest, but it's fun to speculate:
a) Mild "better than nothing" case of implementation: It's just a way for jobs to use the animations from before upgraded actions and discontinued animations. Would be great for WHM that wants elemental animation back, but it would be a let-down for jobs like DNC who practically never had any upgrade.
b) Best case of implementation: Above point, but also bringing new stuff - for example, a way for a Pictomancer to change their motifs (Mog, Madeen, Landscape, etc) into an eastern style variation. Or adding animations that we only see NPCs using.
Even stuff that isn't directly related to combat animations, like borrowing idle stances from other races or the idle weapon animation from the opposite gender. I'm also hoping that SMN/SCH can finally get a proper pet glamour interface with this feature instead of being relegated to an obscure command line.
