I think they should start off looking like a drawing, and solidify into a realistic effect as it's about to go off.

If it ends up that it’s another turret caster it can go straight to the seven hells though.

Prepare for disappointment. That’s what casters are. They literally said this job has spells with cast time. We saw several spells in the trailer with cast times.

It will have some instant cast spells, but casters are meant to stand still. Summoner being the outlier.

So what if people want to unsub due to it? They can decide when/what it is that they unsub from.
Calling other crybabies for it just shows how childish you are about it.

I do think this will be a job that more people bounce off of faster than some others. I think a ton of people will level it at launch, and then go back to their main.

The thing a lot of people are forgetting is that we haven’t seen a majority of the jobs skills, or playstyle.

The other thing is that every single job will be getting new spells and abilities. Everyone is playing a version of their job that is two years old.

Summoner is likely getting access to new summons. Black mage will likely get bigger explosions.

Dragoon and Astrologian are getting reworks. If pictomancer isn’t for you there will be other jobs that will feel fresh.

I am indeed interested in how the job actually plays and my OCD nature means my casters will level it but the graphic aesthetic (as we have seen it so far)is a total turn off for me. So yeah disappointed. Don't want to play it. Will put it off as long as possible and try to convince my OCD self I don't HAVE to level all casters on my caster characters in the meantime.

1 thread says its not neon enough, another says its too neon.
1 thread says the gear is too cartoony, 1 says its not cartoony enough
sevral people said theyre going to unsub just because of it
sevral said theyde kick pictomancers from there pf
sevral said picto was out of place in ff ( i guess they forgot about spriggan bombs, chocomog and cactuars)
sevral people said its a GIRLS and LGBT only job (this is the most laughable 1 so far)

and yea, btw i can cite all the times ive seen this if you wanna see it.. but what the actual hell people.. this job isnt even out yet and already people are going feral over it

as a lgbtq/girl/irl pictomancer.. i cant wait for this job!

It's almost like people have different opinions, just as they always do.

It says a lot when it's not the job itself getting the heated discussion. It's the job's battle effects getting the attention in a game that's partially known for the style of its battle effects. With the appearance being different from the other playable jobs, it's bound to get a lot of feedback both positive and negative.

I was just about to post the same meme lynx :p
