But yes, the animations in this game are fairly good (sans clipping issues).. at least, if you don't look at them in ultra slow motion (such as during the screenshot portion of after a boss kill). At their time, they were pretty damn good, but it's been surpassed in numerous modern titles.
But like Dark Souls, they still hold up:
Fun fact: Dark Souls was animated by hand, not motion capture. Interestingly enough, the 2nd game was motion captured.. but I find the animations to all be worse with less weight and impact. Funny that.
Older characters have pretty bad aniations though. Lann's L L R R is sooo slow and awkard compared to vella's animations for examples, which are much more fluid.
