I'm sure that's a falacy of some sort.
Mainly because the game didn't suck because of the animations.

That's the point. The game wasn't made better because of the "incredible" animations. Maybe they aren't as big of a deal as everyone is making them out to be?

i see it like nintendo "back to the roots" .. focus on FUN and gameplay better than focussing on those "trivia's".

because guys wake up... we finally get a real final fantasy (which it looks to me) compare it to the offliners.

The animations really will help

it wont help, because "normal" people, who left the game after release wont see any difference.. the people who see that difference are one of the last 50k who stayed in FFXIV and within these forums and getting bored and have nothing more to focus on arguing about.

so no, it wont help. it will help to finally make a real final fantasy out of FFXIV.

Certainly not, but they are a deal. If we're satisfied with everything else we've seen, why shouldn't we ask for them to improve the thing we aren't totally satisfied with. The game isn't released yet (and is an MMO besides), it's not a travisty to point out areas for improvement. The opposite in fact. Even a small annoyance is worth spending the time to fix if it's the biggest problem.

i think its been pointed out, can we move on now?

When the people avidly defending it move on.

We've already moved on. It's your side that needs a nudging forward.

I said it didn't make it worse. Not better. That's like, the exact opposite of what I said.

They where good animations. They only brought the quality of the game up. Just because you don't think it's important dosn't mean everyone else has to. Mind you I wish some of us would have more tact, but I won't just let people say they shouldn't care, and I certainly won't let anyone tell me good animation is bad or unimportant.

When did I say it wasn't important? I just feel that it's not the most important thing.

I'm not trying to discredit your concern. I understand what you're saying 100% with the animations. The thing is, sometimes things just don't go your way. Yes, it's unfair, but that's how things work. You can't always get what you want.

My advice: suck it up and deal with it. Believe me, I'm devastated that this game will never have awesome dance emotes, but I don't let that bring down my experience. I enjoy the game, so I keep playing it.
