First it should be Dragoon jump, is that really a jump ? the only thing I see is the character disappear and appear from height up and BAM, I am sure that when the Dragoon do that skill, and I move camera to the sky I will not see any one there.

Second is the BRD stance, maybe I expect to much, I do expect the BRD will have a different stance than the ARC, as they are now a BRD sub ARC and not full pledge ARC, so I do expect they got new stance.

Third is the BLM Frost, shouldnt the animation & the balls have blue & white color , why do they have animation like fire ? I expect SE notice this and change but....why ?

Not sure I understand your logic here. Why would a BRD stand fundimentally different when launching an arrow from a bow then an ARC? Wait, Doesn't the action of Usin a bow by definition make one an archer? So, why would having a few more buffs make one change ones fundemental stance when using a bow?

BRD is probably just archer animations with a few tacked on spells.

Sadly, it's what I expected.

jump is the jump they have had in almost all final fantasy's if you look up in the sky and see the dragoon I would say they havent jumped high enough lol.

as to your brd comment, I don't see why it would be any different, you have trained as an archer and have now specialised as a bard, you wouldn't suddenly loose your stance because you now specialise.

This. It's a jump. Play some more Final Fantasy games that feature Dragoon/Lancer and you'll realize this is just a different way of doing it, it doesn't have to be a copy of every MMO out there.

@BRD:

Playing a harp would be a different stance than shooting an arrow, but if you look at archers through the history and through various media you'll realize they all hold the bow and shoot the same way, no matter the skill level and no matter the prowess.

Nope black magic has the same animation colours regardless of spell, white magic has blue/white animation.

Doesn't bother me at all. The dragoon looks the same as other Final Fantasy Games with the exception that its at close rage rather than at a distance. The bard is holding a bow, How else is she supposed to stand?

I'm sorry, I just don't see what your seeing. Maybe I'll see it when the content actually comes out.

I think s/he is complaining about the fact it's not a generic jump animation you see in every MMO, even though people want FFXIV to be a different game.
