    It depends on how you’re using it. For general character movement, then no. While it may seem great at first, you’re limited to the movements of the character’s animations. So usually movement animations are done in place and controller using a character controller of some sort to essentially play animations, but control him physically through the controller. 

    In certain instances you may want the player to actually move themselves through animations, possibly through a cutscene or special event in your game.
