I agree with OP. I've played all of the FF from 1 to XIV. New spells was always something I looked forward to, new summons etc. It was always exciting to level up and then get to see the new animation. That was something the FF series was known for. Well not just the spells but having really visually appealing graphics. Don't get me started on how boring the WS in this game looks also ;~;

Then again those games were made by the old school team, Hironobu Sakaguchi and such who quit when enix merged and went to Mistwalker.

Them wanting to reuse the same animation over and over is kind of lame. Although I think (could be wrong) in the future they are fixing the graphic animations and such. I hope. >.>; They probably have plans to add way more stuff with the Jobs. I'm not too worried. :>
