Stone III Animation OCD

Does it bother anyone else except me that Stone III uses the CNJ casting animation and not the WHM one? THM/ACN/BLM/SCH/SMN animations are all consistent... I'll go back to my corner now.

Fair point. White Mage didn't have a single target offensive spell in 2.0 and SE recycled the Conjurer's animation instead of creating an entirely new one. If it makes you feel better, Black Mage's single target offensive animation is basically his AoE (Flare/Freeze in 2.0) with a forward swing at the end. White Mage got the same addition from Holy to Aero III.

You want to do the twirl for just casting stone?

And BLMs will start backflipping for their spells.

How could we have been so blind? Dancer isn't going to be released in Stormblood. We were the dancers the whole time!

It's not CNJ or WHM casting animation, it's ST vs AoE casting animation.

Not sure if it will help or hinder the argument... maybe, but Scholar got a new animation for Broil, a semi dumb one but they got one, same with Ruin 3 for Summomer. Although that might be more to differentiate the two jobs more that branch from a single class.

We need more animations in general xD i hope 4.0 will bring us way more.

I wanna spin and hold my hands out like heyseuss to praise the Almighty Earth chucking glory.
