dev1037 battle effects need a lot more than a resize

Magic and attacks in FFXIV are just generally worthless.

Why does everything pretty much do the same thing? Blizzard, Fire, Thunder, Water etc etc. They all just do the same stupid thing but with different elemental stats.

Everything in FFXIV battle system is about stats - balancing math and stats.

Changing animations is only half the problem, the biggest factor is changing what spells actually do.

And battle adjustments are over the horizon.

Yeah auto-attack so we can keep our DPS up while doing some math equations on the side to make sure our DPS stays up.

Sounds really promising.

"Umad?" Is that all you can say?

So original.

Anyway, SE is notorious for working as slow as humanly possible so I wouldn't be surprised if the battle system was what I predicted. And it takes more than three months to make a good battle system even for a talented design team.

And I suppose crying like a 5 year old over a game is any more original?

my impression of a crying five year old is pretty impressive.
