No one knows. You can continue to be a downer though. Better to stick with what you know. Pessimism. The point still stands... if you know it is in the plans to be fixed why are you continuing to complain about it? It's irrational.

Lets think, if they fixed the issue then added the animation I wouldn't have a problem, but they are doing it back to front IMO.

As far as I remember Yoshi-p said animation lock won't be solved until new servers and graphics engine are working which means 2.0.

Anyways I don't really care that much I just seem to be stuck in a vortex where I have an opinion and others disagree with it.

Right, but there is nothing to do about it til there is a viable way of implementing it. Animation lock was a misstep from the beginning. So, now that they plan on ridding the battle system of it or alleviating it, you still feel the need to complain that it was used in the first place?

Not many will argue that it was horrible to begin with, but now that there is confirmation that it's being dealt with, endlessly complaining about it is irrational. We already know that it is attempted to be solved.

The monk WS reminded me of this:

Monk soloing/raiding while busting some MC Hammer, it will happen... several times.

Looks so korean

I'm trying to figure out why we are still debating animation lock when it's already going to be taken care of. It's unimportant because it's in the queue to be fixed.

Why is there still an argument about this?

These animations are no longer than current animation lock.

I'm telling you, they need to give a cap nod or take some inspiration from Avatar the Last Air bender. Hell you even get the little breakdance move at the 56 second mark :P

If I am going to have elemental attacks that cost MP at least let me do some cool stuff.

Should Avatar give a shout out to the people who...I don't know made martial arts? Next thing you know people will be asking me to thank Jackie Chan the next time I watch a Kung-fu movie.

Not talking about shout outs. Talking about using it as an inspiration because its so rich since pgl has been so dreadful bland. Way to puke up your typical angsty crap on the wrong thing.

Why wouldn't you use something that actually revolves around the martial art as inspiration instead of a anime though? I kind of get where your going with the fists of fire stuff I guess but really.

This is what SE should be emulating.

Seriously this is what should be happening in the Pugalists guild. Last thing you would do is try and skimp out on your debt if you seen this.

I almost wanted to become Monk for a second with that animation.

BUT I WANT TO SEE DRAGOON'S SKILLS ALREADY! I'm just... way too excited for February (hopefully)

The anime resolves heavily around martial arts style. Each bender (elemental type) has his own martial art that drawn from irl sources. This is from the wiki.

"In addition to the use of four classical elements in the series, the fighting styles associated with each element are derived from different styles of Chinese martial arts, for which the film-makers employed Sifu Kisu of the Harmonious Fist Chinese Athletic Association as a consultant.[41] Each fighting style was chosen to represent the element it projected. T'ai chi was used for "Waterbending" in the series, which focuses on alignment, body structure, breath, and visualization. Hung Gar was used for "Earthbending" in the series, and was chosen for its firmly rooted stances and powerful strikes to present the solid nature of earth. Northern Shaolin, which uses strong arm and leg movements was used to represent "Firebending". Ba Gua, which uses dynamic circular movements and quick directional changes, was used for "Airbending".[20][42][43] The only exception to these styles is Toph, who can be seen practicing a Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis style.[44]"

Do I want a carbon copy? No, not at all but Avatar did such very interesting things from traditional martial arts mixed with mysticism and particular abilities from each of the sects it was brilliant. It is absolutely worth taking note from seeing as they're doing such things over all anyway.

We're using our MP for "powers" (for brevity sake) so might as well do something awesome with them like Avatar did. It (Avatar) mixed the two absolutely amazingly.

You know, when I first started this game at launch, I began as a Pugilist; While most of the H2H designs were impressive, (save Spiked Knuckles lol), I sat down and roughly drew up a Lion's face over a fist as a preferred design! /shocked

They look pretty poor IMO. Compared to the lv96 WSs from FFXI these ones make me wanna cry. Even the "fat pokémon throw" of lv96 mnk WS is cooler than this one...and DRG one is one of the coolest ever added there...yummy poledancing FTW.

Uh...I really hope they don't completely draw on those for inspiration. Animations were cool but the giant particle effects all over the place were lame.

Honestly, I think drawing from Korean MMOs like Aion/Tera is a better idea in terms of aesthetics/animation. Or something where the hits have more "oomph" to them instead of a bunch of flailing slashes with no weight and a ton of light-show effects like XI.

i think the new ff11 ws is a bit over exaggerated, but it does look good for that graphic engine.

For ffxiv I believe what we see now is just the tip of the iceberg. I expect to see and hear more bang, kabooms and metal hitting metal. Some more cool detailed martial arts like the monk one is great too.

I like the flashy way of the FFXI weapon skills, I bet FFXIV could implement things like that except making them look better.

Howdy!

Before I leave the office for the day, figured I would give you all something to oogle and drool over for the night :)

This is a new sneak peak video of the weapon skills for the jobs coming in patch 1.21!

The weapon skills we showed off prior for some jobs have been tweaked a bit as well.
Hope you enjoy!
