Agree with this some of the animations are great but most are very poor. I recently posted a vid in a thread of how I would like the stamina bar to work like it did from FFXIII and I after watching the vid I also added that they need to make the spell and animations like in that too, they look so much better. Here is the link so you can get a better idea of the spell animations I would like ^^
