    Limt Break Animation Adjustments, and Bard Limit Break

    Kinda two parts here.

    I'd really like to see jobs each get their own individual animations for their limit breaks, even if they do the exact same thing. Being a monk, and suddenly pulling out an energy sword just don't do it for me. Would be nice if they did something specific for Monk and Lancer. Maybe even with subtle differences... like the Monk LB causes paralyze (since blunt damage seemed like something that would hinder your abilities. Perhaps Lancer can cause a bleed effect after use. But more importantly, they use their fists/polearms to do these moves.

    I'm reminded of Saga Frontier, and the unique combo animations they had. I'd like that. (except not ps1 quality).

    For Healers, perhaps White Mages bow down to the gods in their healing animation or draw enegeries from teh earth, Scholars perhaps have some fancy book animation or better yet, their Fairy could do some fancy ritual.

    Bards, assuming they don't have a ranger counterpart, should really have some form of DPS LB.... or at very least, one that buffs the party. Maybe like an Embrava affect, like from FFXI Scholars. A Powerful TP Song, Regen Song, Refresh Song simultanouesly, and even better, make it only use one bar regardless instead of 3.

    As for Tanks... Would be interesting if they did the same thing but in different ways... maybe the Warrior limit break would do an equivalent ammount of HP as Paladin's would defense, with Paladin animations playing off a virtuous knight and Warrior's relating to fury/rage etc.

    As for BLM/SMN I'd mostly like to see Summoner do a animation based off their Egi doing the limit break, instead of a meteor. I know it'd be a pain making a different limit break for Carbuncle, Ifrit, etc. But it's kinda Tradition for it to be a flashy job involving getting overpowered beings to do big things on a player's behalf.

    Maybe I'm asking for to much :P.

    As a healer, I don't really care because I never have chance to use it :\
    Well maybe a few times, but in those cases we still wipe afterwards.

    True, pretty much just using it to do multi raise, but I like the idea of job specific limit breaks, even if they are only subtlely different from others.

    True I have only seen the healer LB used twice successfully.

    Almost never get to LB as a tank either. One time someone yelled at me to LB and I was so confused that I couldn't even find the button. Ah. Good times.

    Throwing it out there, but wouldn't mind if the healer LB3 didn't apply Weaken upon those it raises.

    For all the marketing about LBs I have to say I barely even notice them happening in the game. The only way I know for sure that an LB was activated is the sound of the meter.

    It's actually really bad for gameplay because I don't know which LB even happened. Why can't the visual effects be longer than that? The effects really need to be beefed up in length to be seen through all of the hud and effect crap filling the screen at all times.

    I wouldnt mind a hp increase to bosses or any other adjustment of some sort if they let each roles have their own limit bars.

    2 tanks contribute to their own limit break bar and decide on their own when to use it
    4 dps contribute to their own limit break bar and decide between the 4 of them when and who to use it
    2 healers contribute to their own limit break bar and decide between themselves on when to use it...totalling into 3 separate limit breaks.

    very good idea i would add to it, the ability to choose how much of the gauge i want to use, for example using 3 lvl 1 LBs in row

    as for the animations, i would make them longer, class specific, stopped time during the cast and let all the party members participate in the lb (i know its "technically" already in there if "raising hand while idle" counts), at least the lvl3 one, as stopping time outside of dungeon isn't probably feasible

    I used to hate the bard limit break but honestly it has saved groups so many times
