Same post as the Magical Animation, I just thought I would toss in some Melee attention as well. This isnt a flame or a troll but it's a serious issue that does need to be addressed and called upon.
Notice how he has the same left hand swing for every animation, and all the animations are weak and consist of distorted lighting affects....? The second version of the same skill is literally the SAME skill.

It's kinda sad how an 8 year old game did alot better in such a very important aspect of the game and that being appeal.

In order to progress we need to level. In order to level we need to undergo a plentiful amount of eye sore animations that almost make me want to cry every time I decided to click a numbered key.
SE I really do hope you make this a top priority and I really do hope that this is a change we will see along with your new battle system update or hopefully right after. I don't like beating around the bush and sugar coating things but... don't hate, appreciate

You titled your post wrong, you ment to say WS animation. As for actual animation is actually the best in the genre, nothing in any other game is more life like... probably has something to do with 100% motion capture in this game.
2nd why did you feel the need to make another one of the post... There are literally 10+ of these already...
3rd of all why am I wasting my time talking to the troll/gutter trash of the forum world.... man too tired night forum ppls. -

ok ao i watch both. Honestly i saw no difference. both sets of ws follow the same pattern of repeating moves. Honestly there is only so many ways to swing a weapon. As for effects I perfer the toned down ones in ffxiv. Iron tempest looked kool in ffxiv.

Even though its a troll topic, some insight:
1. The Animations are perfectly fine.
2. It's likely the PARTICLE EFFECTS being referred to, as XI has better PEs than XIV does, but XIV also has some better looking ones than XI.

The third tier of WS's added (2008 or so) - So yeah, particle effects can be flashier and they already acknowledged it but they have more important matters to deal with. -
04-01-2011, 03:22 PMKilta_Firelotus
the effects in ffxi covered what the animation looked like. I hated that. Also when you got 6 or more ppl doing ws in ffxi it can lag up. I had to turn off effects in aby. 18 ppl ws was horrific.

The best WS in FFXIV is Pug final attack :) it look so bad ass.
-
04-01-2011, 08:31 PMSpuffinUmm no. FF11 Weapon skills are more graphically appealing. That's what this game is lacking. Particle affects? I can care less. I can guarantee you 80% of the player base who wanted a new game would want better, stronger, bigger, flashier, sky filling, mind blowing animations.Quote:

like I said there are only so many ways to swing a weapon. And ffxi also had repeated character animations more notable were sword skills. First 3 had the same aninmation.
And honestly the animation imo are fine considering they are done through motion capture and not artificialy created. ppl are forgeting that. And I find it annoying that they did. And having articitial movement mixed will look off. -
04-01-2011, 09:15 PMKilta_Firelotussorry for the insult and hope you don;t take it to personally :)Quote:

I'm sorry it had to be said. Please forgive me.
Anyway Actually I played ffxi on the ps2 and 360. I don't/can't play games on pc. More importently, It was just an opinion. I don't like gaudy explosions from out of no where. It was just eye candy that covered up what your character was doing. I perfer the ones on ffxiv.
As for animations, bith ffxiv and ffxi did the same thing, they repeated animations as because its well easier/ faster to do. And more importently again, there is so wany different ways to swing a weapon around. -

XIV's 1-50 animations are pretty superior to that of XI's. As time goes on, XIV's 51-75 animations will be as well.

I dont understand how can anyone defend the animations we currently have.
FFXI was a long time ago when standard were not so high.
All battle animations we have currently fall way below standards.i dont think is even a discussion. -
04-01-2011, 10:36 PMVackashkenNeither can I, especially when Yoshi P says they fall below the mark too.Quote:

eh..
the quality of the animations is ok, the problem with them is
A) there's too few
B) several of the single target ones share animations with the multi target ones ( I suppose this is to indicate what part of the monster they hit rather than a range of attacks)
C) some of the animations are exclusive to using skills from OTHER classes (and are also poor indicators of whether or not you're using aoe)
D) the animations arent very flashy barring the few skills that are locked to classes (Luminous spire, arrow helix, seismic smash) and dont pull the "oh but we'll have cooler skills 50-75". because
1) Most other games will give you impressive looking skills way before that level range
2) Most other final fantasy games will give you impressive looking skills way before that level range
3)games that predate xiv will give you impressive looking skills way before that level range
4) a carrot on a string only works so long. -
04-02-2011, 05:19 AMCorleoneAgreed! Every class should of had an attack this amazing for their rank 50 WS...Quote:
