If you had the option to use your lower level animations, would you?

[Recon1o6]

I seen this request pop up a few times: Let us use our lower level animations and effects for our upgrading skills while keeping them the same mechanically

I know I certainly want to use inner beast instead of fell cleave and rage of halone over royal authority anyday to say nothing of the heated mch animations. Enough jumps to make a drg jealous...


which ones would you use if you had the option?

[Esmoire]

Some kind of action glamour system would be cool, especially if it includes cut actions. I know a lot of DRKs would love Power Slash back.

[Iscah]

Yes. Everything is tending to get bigger and flashier and brighter and with more "sharp" sound effects and it's just getting too much. I had to switch off battle effects for party members because even in a four-person dungeon (Malikah's Well) I couldn't see anything through a blinding glare of spells going off.

At very least it now needs a mid-point between "all effects" and the "limited" setting that only shows the bare minimum like healing circles.

[Flay_wind]

i'd definitely take Rage of Halone over Royal Authority as PLD.

[Tint]

I want to toggle off the Ninja run and jump animations :x

[Cetek14]

Yes. I would sacrifice whole expansion for that. There is already no content in ShB, so they might as well create something useful.
For me job visuals are very important. And since devs don't really care and a lot of jobs are very "meh" in that aspect, i would fix it myself if devs are not capable of it.

[Shalan]

I would for some classes

I really miss the more clean and straightforward shooting style MCH has in the lower levels over the absurd jumping and flipping from their higher levels.

[Videra]

I'd really like to get Wide Volley and Grenado back if that counts.

[ReiMakoto]

Id absolutely love this, but id also like it to be taken a step further and allow animation replacements for certain skills. For example, I would love to play mch as a gunner class, so if I could use the unheated 1-2-3 AND replace the animation of Drill with something like HW Head Graze/Rend Mind, replace autocrossbow with HW Blank ect. You'd fundamentally have the same Job, but with a completely overhauled aesthetic and feel, using only recycled parts.

[ItMe]

I'd love to have access to the old animations... if only in gpose for photos.
I'd like to retake some of the old screenshots I've taken of my glams, but can't recreate them without the old animations (or take more screenshots in the newer areas). Still, it IS kinda neat that they act like little time capsules.
