Too many flashy abilities?

[Zantetsuken]

Animations/effects should ramp up the higher level the TP move/spell is -- this is the way it has worked in all FF games, including FFXI and in 1.0.

Endgame abilities should definitely be cool and OTT, but early spells and abilities should be tight and realistic looking, with just a touch of flash.

Its alpha, so I'm guessing that some of these animations may be placeholders, or are there to put extra strain on systems.

Lets wait until beta and see what the skills look like.
