I think sidewinder is the first good looking ws on xi and it's a level 55 one.

Thought that was 45. Oh well doesnt change the fact that FFXIV WS's and other animations need to have more umpf.

at least it was catchy. FFXIV they didn't even bother, they are all weak and look the same.
All that From a game that took 5+ years, millions of dollars to make and have the capability to have stunning graphics visual effect.
Shame on SE.

We shouldn't even have to compare FFXIV to a 10 year old game and graphic engine.

And let’s not forget, we look at it now and say FFXI low level WS were weak but back then when we all just started. Who's wasn’t amazed of seeing all those WS in Dune, seeing their first Skill chain and Magic burst.
Well I was.

And don’t get me wrong I enjoy playing FFXIV. I’m just saying I wasn’t amazed and still not amaze of any SC, magic visual effect.

But graphic wise the game is beautiful and that’s maybe why I’m so disappointed.
