why must we squat everytime we use an Instant Ability.

I hated that show.

Um...

I've heard of faster combat pace, TP revamp, removing directions from combos, but i haven't seen any official wording about removing the actual animation lock from eg. using self-buffs.

Could someone post some solid evidence on this matter?

Please remove, amen; praise Jesus.

If you watch Producer Live Letter you can see Yoshi moving while using weaponskills.

edit: actually I think it was another video with battle gameplay where that was more obvious >.< can't remember which now.

They showed the character "Naoki Yoshida" doing what looked like Power Surge while moving Backwards in the Gamescom Video presentation.... while Squating, though

What, you mean the early waaaaaayyy-pre-alpha stuff? Sorry, but that's hardly convincing.

Infact. I hope that that was cuz early stage of develpoment..
If by removing animation lock means sliding on the ground, while your character still *squat* it's not that good
visually speaking lol! .. Upper body / lower body movements should be separate to handle this well (same for ws as i have seen in videos.. sliding while using chaos trust.... ) . Well, i think we'll see how they handle animation lock / visually in future..

This is one of the things i personally want to see reworked. Im not saying have a particle effect fpr everything either. Just sethimg differet amd at least job specific. A monk channels energy differently than a blm for instance so id love to see some diversity here

Yeah, they looked just like the animation we have now (so NO separate upper/lower body) , but faster and without animation lock.. It looked pretty weird lol... I suppose separate upper/lower body wasn't implemented at that time.

How is direct gameplay showing exactly what you want not convincing? O.o No comment
