Please allow us to Look straight Up

This has also annoyed me, especially in the the Diabolos boss fight. Since our view upward is so limited it wasn't until my 10th time running it that I even realized Ruinous Omen was animated the same way as the ff8 version of the attack. Then when i tried to look up to see this awesome massive gravity bomb he was creating....no go

This. QFT.
It's been bothering me a lot too.

This has always bothered me in every game I've played where it exists.
I only want to see the sky. I'm too big to look up skirts and kilts.

One thing, I don't see the harm in permitting us to look to a higher degree.

I do some the harm in restricting us from it as it's a major, unnecessary annoyance for many I'm sure.

Why don't you just go into first person mode and look up? :o

looking up, followed by putting your palm over your face.

Because you still can't look straight up.

Is my post really that hard to understand?

People suggesting looking down on our character or looking up in first-person... I don't get it.

Do they not know you can only view upward at like a 75deg. angle?

I'm not sure I can see the problem...you can look up--even at a 75 degree angle--and turn around and stuff to see everything there is to see.

And no, you can't use that to look up skirts. When you're that close you can't see the person that you're standing or sitting under in first person mode. :(

This makes it hard to see the ceilings and the fixtures on the ceilings though. I have to go out of my way to get far enough away from what I want to see in order to see the part that I actually want. The Burning Wall somewhere in Thanalan is a good example. I went up to one of the crystals because I wanted to look up at it as close as I could, annnnd... Nope, my head apparently locks at 75 degrees and so I can't look at it without going rather far away. In smaller areas, this makes it even harder to see things that are taller or higher up.
