Too much flashy flashiness going on

Ideally you would want animations that while satisfying, don't obscure or distract too much from what's going on so that you can better react. The more you can view, the more the developers can ask of you, the higher the skill ceiling.

What we've seen fails in my opinion, on both accounts. Even at low levels with 4 people it's a weightless light show -imagine this with 8 or even 24 players.

I didn't especially notice OTT flashing. :(

Also, how is it "too" flashy when this series is known for having super crazy, over the top stuff? Having a swirly blue light for a second is too much? Knights of the Round from FFVII would like a word with you.

It's known for being over the top but not retarded. Why do you think they're fixing it and not leaving it as is? XI is the perfect example, it's flashy but it's in moderation until you hit Voidwatch when all hell is broken loose.

You mean bad engine choice for XIV. Show me one game on the CT engine that had as bad as performance and was completely unplayable due to lag and inability to use the hardware properly.

its not too flashy. +1 finding random BS to complain about, because if you dont hve a complaint, you dont have a reason to be on a forum.1

SE said offer feedback and you're allowed to complained if you want. Not complaining is why there's very few good games out lately, because people lapping up every thing a developer throws at them without question.

Getting a lil tired of these tards complaining about fundamental elements of the FF games ...how boring and bland can they be not to want cool looking stuff... i call FFXI rosey goggles where they enjoyed flat sword till lvl 75

I get tired of others not respecting the fact that other people have opinions. Anyone has the right to disagree, but to call them tards because they don't share your sentiment? Flashyness is a Final Fantasy staple, and I think it needs to stay, but there is nothing wrong with someone disliking it, and it surely doesn't make them a "tard."
