Haha, true, it's not essential. However, it shows how much love and attention to detail you put into this pack. For me, that level of polish is what separates an average game from an immersive experience where players feel like everything has been considered. But I will remove it from my game because as you said, turning the character already looks good without it.
That attention to detail is the reason I went with this pack. I just wish the Fantasy Character Creator also had the front flip & dash animations.
