the bigger effects

with all the fightig going on about casual vs hardcore... (meh)
there is no mention about the bigger battle effects

how are they now? anyone got pics or videos? I would like to see them for myself.

IIRC, they already posted a comparison picture when they announced the resize. Lets just say I can actually tell a mage is doing something. I really think it was a decent addition. Not to say that they shouldn't adjust them further (like they already said they are going to do). It's not something that I could complain about

the effect still gone too fast

blink your eyes and you'll miss it

they should extend the time of displaying

It's a nice fix. I've only messed around in combat a little bit since they added them, but it's a very good start.

Spells effect wise I've only seen Cure casted on myself so far, but I have to say it's a big improvement. Very welcome change.

A slight extension would be nice. You are right that it does take very little time for it to fade though I would hate to see them last overly long though.

ya i want to see it in action more though :3 But i'm happy you guys like it.

I'm sure they'll extend it, if you play FFXIII, with the exception of a few ability animations, they are over pretty quickly so it seems to be running at the default duration the engine has set.

Unfortunately people will always talk about the bad before the good. No different than watching the evening news and seeing the top headlines about some double homicide or scandal and not about the firefighters who saved an entire apartment complex full of people. It's just human nature. People could use a little more positive outlook on life. Thank you for trying to add that ^_^

Here you go Kilta. :)

Don't take offense but not everyone is an American xD Alot of places don't pull that **** with news^^ I've seen titles about firemen saving lives lots actually :P I don't totally disagree with you but just thought I'd point out that watching the news in America and alot of different regions is like night and day hehe

Back on topic though I was skeptical cause I heard this effects buffs too and was fine with their current size. After seeing them in action though just like ws's u notice alot more minor details int he animations you didn't see before, keep up the great work :D (Now if only raise and ancient /tier3 magic would be fixed lol)

pretty :3

::does the lalafell truffle shuffle::

i meant a post w/o fighting in it ^^;;

Id love to make a lalafell cuteness video using the neko mimi mode song from moon phase.

Enlarging the effects was a step in the right direction, and generally a good idea. Many of the effects still need to be replaced by ones which are a little more gripping or indicative of their effects. Water seems to look good, but wind looks horrible and (in my opinion) so does fire.

i like the fire effect based on the pic. It looks like fire. I just don't want gaudy lag fest effects like some ffxi had. wasn't fun having lag cuz mages spam casting their magic.

I barely noticed a different to be honest.

i'm just suprised we having a hardcore vs casual war atm and no one is screaming lackluster effects or the enlargement did nothing.... its like no one cares about it justc the hardcore vs casual war or the jump/no jump war.

Shhh. Don't invite trouble! ;)

true. anyway ima watch more anime. laters. too many posts about complaints. getting a lil stuffy.

The bigger graphics is meh. Better something than nothing I suppose. Though the bigger HP/MP numbers is great hah.

Big numbers. Big monsters. Big effects.

Everyone has to feel important I guess. It's sad.

Says the one who have like 100 posts on the subject lol.
The effects are better than before but by 0.1
Needs a loooooooot more work. Nothing worth mentioning and is why is not.

So from what I've seen the spells look better. Some of the spells need to be extended by .5 seconds, and others a full second longer. They are just a little too short.
