I wouldn't wait too much for "animations" patches if I were you. When the gameplay trailer #1 hit, in 1st of december 2016: Even now the same people that said in Dec "relax they will fix it" are still trumpeting Biowares praises,it's sickening it is like an advanced form of Stockholm syndrome

From the innumerable amount of videos I've watched, I don't think the animations will detract from my experience. I notice what people are speaking about in the game, but.. it will not take away from my experience. It's hard to explain but it's not groundbreaking. I know they will update as much as possible to help with the bugs. 3 days is too long for me. x.x

i find it insulting that in 1 article they brag about pushing the limits of animations "We’re pushing the boundaries of what Frostbite can do and what Mass Effect can do. The quality of the character animations is at an all-time high for us, and that’s great because it means expressiveness, emotion and a connection with the player." And then when people call them out on it they basically say...sorry it's not happening. That being said are animations a total game breaker? No. But don't sit there and brag to us how AMAZEBALLS the animations are going to be when they are clearly sub-standard. I agree, that is a facepalm worthy quote. Unfortunately, Mac seems to have learned nothing from ME3, where a bunch of quotes from before release turned out to be wildly over-exaggerated or in some cases flat out not true.

I found another strange facial animations in the game, this time in romance scenes. Well, I can only hope they will fix them with the next patch

I wonder how this passed QA? Did they think crab walking was fine? You have to handle the controls in a particular fashion to get the crab walk. The person filming that was intentionally making her walk like that by constantly going from walk to stop while shifting directions. I've watched a playthrough and that isn't how they run around if you play it normally. Furthermore I'd like to add that all the animations shown are probably rare glitches. Dr. Lexi holded her hands up, the women doing the forward moonwalk all seem to be a bug in their particular playthrough while they happen to be filming as none of that occurs in any playthroughs I've watched.
Now the bad lip-syncing and ditsy eye movements are a thing. But other than that the game itself seems alright. At least the first hour or two.

<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> Mac gave an interview to Gamezone a few days back. The development of ME:A force the team to push the boundaries of what the FB3 engine can do regarding facial animations. "We’re pushing the boundaries of what Frostbite can do and what Mass Effect can do. The quality of the character animations is at an all-time high for us, and that’s great because it means expressiveness, emotion and a connection with the player."
Perhaps, then, that Ninja Asari is just a behind the Scenes showing an artist pushing that envelope and nothing more. Another tidbit. " One of the great things about working on Mass Effect is that it’s ground in reality. .."
"'That exists? That’s here on Earth?' and then we tweak it a little bit, and now it’s alien, right?"
So, they take inspiration from Earth's own natural treasures. Article is here: www.gamezone.com/news/mass-effect-andromeda-to-push-the-boundaries-of-the-frostbite-engine-3442141I have no idea who necro'd this yet but damn did they ever get their point across. *Sips Ryncol*

Here the thing about the gifs - taken out of context or edited, you can make anything look rubbish. I mean look at the poor animation here - they don't even bother to make her hair avoid her arm, it clips straight through. Must have been the B-team working on the highest grossing animated film of all time. Of course in the actual finished context you don't notice:

The sad thing is this merely cartoonish face and body is vastly more expressive than the ME:A characters, and has perfect lip sync besides. It won't ruin the game for me, but it's just sad.

The animations don't actually bother me much at all.
It's the character models that are the problem. Every Asari in the game literally having the same face is a much bigger issue than the animations.

I'm stuck between decent enough and not so great. Some cutscenes are excellent, for example the one between Ryder Sr and Captain Dunn, everything is detailed and synced perfectly. Unfortunately there are not enough of these flawless scenes throughout the game. Many scenes and characters lack polish, so I'll go for not so great because imo this is the weakest area of the game.
