Okay... whew. I've composed myself a little. I have to agree that the animations in XIV are certainly disappointing and to that end I do hope they're addressed eventually.
I know it is almost laughable it is so bad. My friend was a 75 BLM on FFXI so she has picked CON and is currently at Rank 41 and is eagerly awaiting Rank 44 to gain access to Ancient Magic and I did warn her not to get excited but she think's I am trying to trick her or something, I just hope she find's it funny when she see's it first hand ; ;
