Too many flashy abilities?

i'm not a big fan of what i've seen as far as abilities/WS go thus far either. i'm especially discouraged with how they sound. very tinny, similar and annoying.

Apparently there is just no winning. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. I like the spells and moves, they could always use improvement, which is why I have no criticism towards this post. What we need is some really awesome move, flashy isn't all that bad, but for the flashyness to make sense to what they are, like what you pointed out earlier, maybe AoE being full body animations.

The mentality that no issue that you have should be mentioned during the alpha test, is pretty bizarre. Nothing wrong with just expressing a concern as early as you see it. The fact that we're not in beta phase isn't a reason to not bring anything up. That's what Alerith was proposing I should have done.

I actually think that the black and yellow swirly thing was the slug's attack, the one where they string goo all over you. Rather, instead of black, we get a golden-glow/aura for a very brief moment when we activate a WS, if that's what you're after.

Most of the flashiness is caused by the slugs... How do people not notice this?

Everyone who isn't looking for anything they can to complain about already has noticed.

Still in alpha not all animations are even programed in yet. Animations look good. Keep it up team!

Actually I was merely commenting on a conversation descending into petty argument that leads to no real constructive ideas for anyone. Didn't mean to insinuate they shouldn't express opinions about the game.

Too flashy? Is that term even usable in the same sentence as "Final Fantasy?" Being "Too flashy" is kind of the signature of the Final Fantasy series. I'm glad that they're following traditional Final Fantasy archetype.
