Alkalurops is bugged

I'm not usually one to complain. However, during my routine activities I noticed a major issue with the Alkalurops (a CNJ WHM weapon).

As you can see, the petals create independent segments that are comprised of a 1/2 segment and two 1/4 segments. However, when you unsheathe the weapon...

It's very obvious that the petals represent three individual 1/3 segments.

I'm not one to laugh at math. Hopefully you all aren't either. Can this be fixed so the sheathed weapon is representative of the unsheathed variant?

This seems like the most serious bug to date and now that I've become aware of this, it's detracting from my enjoyment of the game.

Square, please, I beg you. Please fix this.

Not bugged, you are just seeing things. Pic 1: 3 big petals, pic 2: 3 big petals.

The animation was fudged for the sake of ease-of-programming. If you watch it closely, it doesn't ever unravel as a bud would. Instead, the bud shrinks and the flower grows to replace it.

That's why it doesn't line up 100%.
