I'm relatively certain I read not only the visual changes, but that they were considering rehauling the system entirely and giving players individual limit breaks rather than a shared one. But seeing as what you just typed could easily be "giving players individual limit breaks instead of a shared one" if you consider limit breaks in this context is the animaion... It could have easily been misinterpreted.

But I still believe I heard them mention rehauling limit breaks in one of the fan fest talks..
