Make us invulnerable during LB animation lock?

Raise your hand if you've ever died because you used a limit break.

Considering the frequency of things you need to react to during battle, the LB attack animations can feel like a mini movie in length, during which time you are unable to control your character but still receive damage. In the time it takes to use a melee LB on the frosty dragon add, Midgardsormr has used 2 different aoe patterns that you were unable to dodge.

Would it really be game-breaking if we were invulnerable during the time we are unable to move? Especially because it would only apply to the user of the LB and not the whole party. I think LBs should only be a good thing and not have any down side like being unsafe to use in certain battles.

Wouldn't that make raiding a bit easier at times if the Whm/Sch/Brd uses the LB during some massive attack? Or even if they use it when they're the only one left and suddenly 'LOL SKREW U BOS LEMET BREEK'

Dragoons used to be invulnerable for a moment or so with Jump, something about that being because of them being at a different 'height' or something, and that was removed as soon as possible due to them using it to avoid some big AoE's and such.

Aren't you supposed to pick the appropriate time to do it?

[Lemage]

You're meant to not be a bad dps and pick a good position and time to do it. being immune to all damage while casting it would cause people to cast it during attacks and then cancel mid-cast...

Remove the silly animation lock to begin with, its pointless and a bad design.

I meant you're only invulnerable once the attack is locked in and can no longer be cancelled, I'm not asking for something stupid and game-breaky.

That's what people adapted to, but I am asking you to think about it, is that design a good one. What about a battle with no downtime when it's never safe to locked down for a long animation. Should your ultimate attack really have a huge downside that limits its use.
