Casting and spell animations...lackluster?

[Akumu]

Again there is a Flare II already in the .dat files. As for amazing weaponskill animations, was there any in FFXI that were amazing pre-50? The .dat shows that FFXIV has skills prepared for up to rank 100 and we are only looking at the tier I to II versions of the skills at best when already evidence of tier III, IV and V yet to be seen.

In my opinion FFXI red lotus blade had more impact then the one in XIV... All the lower tier spells also had better effects compared to this one. One thing If nothing else SE had in FF games was good visual effects(especially with spells) and these are just very shocking to have dropped in quality.
