Too many flashy abilities?

[Psykotsu]

I've literally never seen people asking for effects to be giant and take up the entire screen, but here are people saying they shouldn't be. And not all Final Fantasy games are this flashy. Actually, none of them are, maybe for ultimate abilities but not low level stuff. Look at low level FFT spells or something. They are composed, sweet, and to the point. FFXIV is like turning a basic attack into a purple whirlwind that takes up the entire screen. Simply triggering sprinting gives you a chakra blast.

And the animations won't even be clearly separated at this rate. They are just different colors of giant flash that will all start to look the same.

It's not out of boredom, it's criticism. Trying to say people are just bored is one of SE defense force's excuses.

Nope, you're bored, and others are too. Maybe I watched the wrong video or something, please direct me to one where the effects take up the entire screen and doing all this stuff you claim.
