What animations would you change if you could?

[Shurrikhan]

All of the "Heated" shots. No gaudy, detached-from-any-intuitive-physical-value summoning of mechanical cheerleaders for gun-fu, ideally. Nor gun-fu, for that matter.

And Stone IV, because Stone III actually looked both good and powerful and Stone IV doesn't quite manage either.

I liked Stone III's spell animation more overall, but I also particularly dislike that Stone IV uses the "Holy" cast animation. It doesn't seem right to be using that for another spell, especially Stone.

Aero III uses it too, which makes me think it's just the casting animation Square's chosen for powerful white magic no matter what.

Stone's developed some weird pattern where it seems to alternate between a projectile and the ground erupting underneath the target. I'm expecting the inevitable Stone V to just be the WHM conjuring a boulder several times their size.

Rocks fall, everyone dies?


(just hopefully not the party while the healer is DPSing...)

It's not so much the animations, which do look unpractical, but more the visual effects of the heated shots that drove me away from playing MCH again, it looks cheap and completely loses the feeling of actually shooting with bullets. Suddenly you're summoning giant bullets in your back and weird, slow fireballs...

Exactly this, also the animations don't work for how frequently they're used if that makes sense. It's like, all of them look like finishing moves not just your regular shots. I'd have been perfectly fine only seeing these animations during overheat, then regular shots outside of it. It would make your wildfire "feel" a lot cooler too, because its not just doing the same thing but faster.
