Can we talk about how overly flash/polished Ninja's visuals are when...

[Prototype909]

compared to the rest of the classes for a second?

I mean I understand this is basically SE's flashy new toy to try and attract people either to the game for the first time or back to the game but it feels like they put a lot more effort into making it look visually appealing when compared to any of the rest of the classes. Unique running animation, unique jumping animation, skills that actually seem to change based on the model of the enemy, etc.

I'm glad they've put so much effort into it, but if this is going to be the trend for future classes aren't they at all concerned that the older ones will start to look dated effect/animation wise?

Rage of Halone.
Circle of Scorn.
Lustrate.
Virtually everything MRD/WAR gets.
Flare.
Holy.
Shadowflare.
DRG dives.
Rain of Death.

Do I gotta go on here?

It is probably due to having more time to polish Rogue/Ninja.

Considering Yoshi-P wanted to release the Gun class(Musketeer class), Stealth class(Rogue/Ninja), and Melee Mage class(Red Mage) into the game for a while I'm not surprised they took the effort to polish Rogue/Ninja while it was being developed.

Nonsenses the most flashy and shiny skill is WHM's Holy. It's so flashy it actually hurt my eyes.

Flashiness is the reaspn why i turnoff party members animation whenever i play a melee or tank. Aint no way i can position myself with eveything going on

[reality_check]

I disagree. Ninja/Rogue abilities look awesome. Dragoon abilities and Monk abilities both still look equally as awesome.

Flash is a gladiator ability, I don't think Ninja will get it.

No matter how flashy and shiny a class/job can be, nothing can top the increasing brightness of the Zodiac weapons.

The effect on the Kuji-in (seals) must be lowered/toned down. I get headaches when seeing them being cast.

Actually OP, the flashiness bothers me a little too but not because I think they're making it too flamboyant.
I just feel that the seals are popping in and out too suddenly. I wish there was a better transition so that it wasn't so bombastic.
That way I won't get a headache every time a ninja is in the party. I really hope they tone them down. @_@
