    While I agree that Dagger seems casts other spell like heals 2 handed in the above video shown, but don't you think it is dead boring? She's just standing there stationary. 2 hand holding a staff is too movement restricting for casts, really. If you fancy fanciful casting animations and combat style, look at how Yuna moves and animates in Dissidia - I think that's the way to go.

    Heck, even the way old man Ramuh in XIV casts his judgement bolt (which is one handed) looks cool. Now imagine him holding his staff 2 handed and does the same cast... I rather he take a giant hammer and really hammer you instead (makes more sense based on movement)
