Needed at launch: Job Unique Limit Break Animations!!!

[LadyLarunai]

Seems like nothing more than a maybe, not something done in a weekend, what was it one person wanted? One for each class, job and LB tier? That's what 17x3x10?

17 separate animations, tweaked for 3 levels then adjusted to 10 different bone sets is a pain in the ass amount of effort for no more than a visual effect.. Not that I wouldn't want it done but I would hate to be the one assigned to that job.

Hello, everyone!

During the NicoNico Chokaigi 3 event that took place this past weekend, Yoshi-P mentioned that the team would be looking into giving each class their own unique limit break animation.

"each class"

Oh snap.

While I agree that every JOB should have its own limit break, I think that giving an individual limit break to each class is a HUGE waste of resources! No one ever plays classes at lvl 50 and especially not in raids or trials where it would be the only place you can actually use it. So all the time and money spent developing the animations for the classes would just be wasted and should rather be spent on something else.

Also, IMHO, Final Heaven is the perfect monk limit break ;-)

TL;DR
separate animations for each job - hell yes!
separate animations for the classes as well - hell no!

I want my Final Heaven animation so when I pushed the LB button I can get up and grab a drink

I think jobs should get a second limit break ability(either at 30 when they get the job or at 50 as a here's a super special skill for you). So they have the class one(which remains what it is now) and then a job one as well. And I agree with what someone else posted... secondary limit break should make sense for the class/job. I.e. bard gets a ranged attack while archer has healing. Warrior gets dps palading healing and so on. This would make it more fun in general. But I'd like it see more buff LBs as well.

I think what they mean is that the "classes" are getting the unique animations, as in pld would use gld animation war use mrd etc. Also as much as I would enjoy seeing multiple kinds of LB per class/job it would result in class/job stacking. Like the idea someone had about letting war have a melee dps limit break, it that was the case there would be no reason to not just stack ranged dps for most situations. Or if pld go access to healer lb then they could just cd burn and raise an entire dead party at their leisure.
Think that to date the biggest flaw with the limit break system has been its name lol. If they had used any other way to call it people wouldn't have such a hard time with its current design.

bard gets a ranged attack while archer has healing.

Personally feel that it should be the other way around, as it is BRD that lifts the archer from a DPS to a support.

Wow they actually decided to do something about that entire issue that people have been asking to be fixed since release.
