Flare star animation

I got my BLM to level 100 a while ago, and i went to do some 100 dungeons as BLM to understand the job for a bit, but when i do flare star animation my character just stands there for the casting. Then teh attack launches off. All my graphic drivers are up to date, i did clean install of the game, everything i could think of and the animation still doesn't go off.
edit: the animation doesn't play in PVP either

Is it consistent? I find that my character also does this when I'm experiencing a lag spike. If you cast Flare as back-to-back as possible, does it always get stuck in the animation and just stand there?
It might be worth recording a couple of videos and opening a bug report.

I sent a bug report, and even when i use fire IV wait a few seconds then cast flare star the animation still doesn't play. My character just stands there through the entire casting and firing the attack animation.

ok so i did a fresh install again and took a recording of it

a fc member helped fixed it! turns out i was missing a file and someone sent it to me to reinstall it

That's so odd, but I'm glad it's fixed now!
